Agreed. Aston owners are way too snooty to embrace an ad like that.

Even if you look past that its beneath crass...
Look past the body of an undeveloped boy...
Younger than the youngest kid of an AM owner...
You cant look past the typographical error.

It's a mock ad for sure.

Aston also maintains specific placement of the logo, branding, where they fit on the ad, how far apart, etc... "Timeless" is their certified used car branch. The Aston Martin owners events I have been to I am the youngest one at 49...

It implies that a used Aston owner doesnt have something better than that, and is unsatisfied.
All while eliminating women from the buying equation altogether
Dont forget their CEO is a woman. (former head of JLR marketing)

While this is fake, we had a dealer who actually did this to our product!
In a magazine similar to Architectural Digest no less!!
Of course it backfired.
