By the way, now that this has gone really off topic, my Aston dealer told me they are possibly going to start making sedans. Could be interesting.

Yes, they are stopping production on the Vanquish S this year all over the world.

Their new top of the line car is going to be the Rapide which is 4 door.

Looks nice, I wonder if one can put golf bags in it.
Mercedes said I could two bags in my SL-- I don't know what kind of girly bags they were referring to, but one was max.
I am enjoying being able to put in 4 real sized people and golf bags, and still have good performance.

He also indicated they might bring back the Lagonda name. Tell me NO!!!

i'll be interested but ... the roof, being just an OEM part - i don't think they will apply any discount - plus if you order it here, at the dealer - you won't pay shipping
