A Car Nerd's Guide To Japan An insider look at car culture in Japan. “Where can I see some cool cars without having to go to Daikoku PA or Tatsumi PA”? That’s the question I get most frequently from people wanting to get a glimpse of the best cars Tokyo has to offer. Rather than answering the same question several times, hopefully this guide will help everyone wanting to do a bit of car-spotting while they’re in Tokyo. Also, selfishly, it gave me an excuse to drive an Aston Martin Vanquish S. (Full disclosure: Aston Martin Japan loaned me a Vanquish S for a few days, albeit with a limit on the mileage which is typical of cars in this price range. I made it work.) While Tatsumi PA and Daikoku PA are still my recommended “must see” places simply due to their size and diversity, not everyone has the time to rent a car to go to those places. For those wanting to remain in the city and only have the public transportation and their feet … [Read more...] about I Hunted Down Tokyo’s Best Car-Spotting Locations In A 600 HP Aston Martin

Aston Martin Reportedly Hiring Banks To Float $6b IPO
Aston Martin looks to be getting closer to floating an initial public offering on the stock exchange. The British automaker has been rumored to be pursuing an IPO for the past few years. But now Reuters reports that it’s preparing to hire three major banking firms to handle the initiative, indicating that the move could be coming up soon. The capital raised by an IPO would ostensibly help the company fund major investments it has under way. For one, it’s building a new factory in Wales. That’s where it will build the new DBX crossover (or whatever it’s ultimately called). For another, it’s preparing to relaunch the Lagonda brand as a high-end electric vehicle manufacturer, delving into new territory for the automaker. It’s also contemplating a venture into Formula One as an engine supplier, likely for its close partner Red Bull Racing. These in addition to the rollout of new models to replace its aging lineup. It recently introduced the new DB11 and … [Read more...] about Aston Martin Reportedly Hiring Banks To Float $6b IPO
2018 Aston Martin Vantage review
Better than a Porsche 911? We think so. The all-new Aston Martin Vantage is likely the most important car the British company has ever built. It’s also as far removed from the car that it replaces as could be possible, sharing only its door handles.The Vantage is Aston’s true sports car for the ‘masses’. Well, those highly fortunate masses that can afford a roughly $300,000+ sports car. Like its predecessor, it competes with the likes of the Porsche 911, Audi R8 and Mercedes-AMG GT S. It carries forward its front mid-mounted engine, rear-wheel-drive set-up, and is finally offered with a proper automatic (manual on its way). It also utilises one of the best engines in the business, the AMG-sourced twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8. It’s unusual for us to send two journalists to a car launch, especially one as exclusive as an Aston Martin event in Portugal, but reviewing the new Vantage is a special experience for both authors here. It’s a car that in its … [Read more...] about 2018 Aston Martin Vantage review
