Looks like the Aston franchise in Detroit has recently changed hands. It now seems to be part of the Lafontaine group instead of the Suburban Collection. Looks like they're also moving the dealership from Troy to Dearborn.

Seems like quite the downgrade. The old Troy location also had Bentley, McLaren, Maserati, etc. The Dearborn site, though, just seems to have Volkswagen, Honda, Toyota, and...Kia.

I was just at the Troy location looking at a CPO Vantage back in February. Glad I didn't end up buying it!

Anyone have any backstory on this? You would think that the launch of the DB12 and the new Vantage would be increasing Aston's desirability from a franchise perspective. But maybe not?

 

I grew up in suburban Detroit - the Troy location for the Aston dealer downstream from the exclusive Somerset Mall just makes sense. Dearborn? WTF?
