After the V8 expect to see an update to the Vanquish. The DB9 will then get the Vantage treatment followed by the V8. Following that the Vanquish will be replaced. The Lagonda name may also resurface at some point, maybe within 5-10 years.
Actually, wouldn't Aston Martin produce up to 5,000 cars a year, compare to Ferraris' about 4,000 per year. I'm kinda not caught up on Aston Martin's history, what is the Lagonda name about? So basically, the Vanquish is the top of the line, centerpiece to the AM line. The timeline would be would be to get that "madeover" would be about 2005? the DB9 just came out last year, and the V8 will come out in 2005.
