Do you think there's a market for it in India? :/

Where did you come across these rumours? Interesting development if some mainstream mag/news source has speculated as such.
You mean the car they've shown? Or Luxury Sports Cars in general?

You're again saying rumours without specifying their source.In 2012, an Italian firm pipped Mahindra to buy 38% stake of Aston Martin. As per rumors, they're going in for again, as Aston Martin sales are dropping, and they might sell of a part of the stake.

An article from 2012.You're again saying rumours without specifying their source.
Interesting rumour indeed! Will be another major coup for the Indian Auto Image if they can snatch another marquee British brand. Access to critical technologies will be the biggest gain, more than anything else.I've been a small time player in equity market for some time, we get news a little earlier than general masses. Though i've left investing for few years now, but the news source is still there.

And compare the sales figure of Aston Martin, which peaked in 2006 at 6800-7000 units, has dropped to about 3500 units in 2013. Their CEO has resigned, the new one is inexperienced. If that is not the traits of distressed asset, i don't know what is?

Give it 3-4 years, Bentley will be out in the streets too. It's sales has gone miserable. There's nothing much left in the British automotive industry, other than Jaguar and Land Rover.
In another set of rumor roundups, Tata is eyeing Pininfarina. I think Tata is already a stake holder of that design firm.
Wasn't that an old rumour? I too remember reading something about it. I don't know if they picked up any stake in the Firm though. I believe Fiat will be most interested in it.

They acquired part of the stake.
What do you mean?? I am not a big fan of automobile industry. But as far as I know automobile industry is said to be mature in a country when the country can design, test and produce its own cars, suvs, engines. I think India is already there and now time to move globally. Could you tell me in detail where I am wrong.Not quite yet. Their range of vehicles is still lacking, but they're getting there.
The article is from 2010, and mentions that Tata acquired a stake 2 years prior to that. So, I guess I read something about it around that time. Any info about their % stake in the Firm?
