Aston
Martin’s Lagonda’s sport utility vehicle (SUV) has moved a step closer to
reality and will be a joint development with Mercedes AMG.
The idea, first mooted with
the Lagonda concept vehicle launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 2009, must
have been hastened with the news last March that Bentley would develop an SUV, taking that marquee into unchartered waters.
Volkswagen AG has set the
pace in developing SUVs in Europe, not only through its own brands but through links
with Porsche.
