Volkswagen looks sure to break up with Suzuki, and Fiat might step in to take the Japanese automaker as a partner for the Asian market. However, it looks like 2011 is the year of the automotive quarrel, as Daimler luxury brand Mayabach is also finding fault with Aston Martin.
So what’s the reason this time? Well, German publication Auto Motor und Sport says that the Brits are asking too much to put together the upcoming Mayback models, and as a result the relationship between the two is on the “brink of extinction”.
Previous reports have indicated that Aston Martin would put together a successor to the Maybach 57/62. In exchange, the germans would provide their hybrid tech, a 4.6-liter V8 with twin-turbocharging and the platform from the ML-Class so the Brits can build their SUV.
