French luxury goods maker LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA — better known as just Louis Vuitton — has won an auction to acquire Aston Martin from Ford, according to a German news report.

The news will appear in weekly auto magazine Autobild tomorrow, according to MarketWatch, which obtained an advance copy of the article. The Autobild report cites well-placed but anonymous sources.

Earlier this week, bidding ended for Aston Martin, which has been up for "auction" since August. Ford is selling the successful sports car company in order to raise much-needed capital.

Great, the maker of the most overpriced and ugliest @!#$ for rich people acquiring a company that makes some of the most beautiful automobiles

I hope they have better luck with it than Ford did, even though Ford still owns 15% of Aston Martin. What do you think the next maker are they going to sell?

Lincoln doesn't fit in with the rest, it actually made positive progress in sales, so it must go

false? motortrend link..........

If they start wrapping interior pieces in their @!#$ty, overpriced patterns and prints I'm going to make it my personal mission to sabatoge Loius Vuitton into oblivion. They hurt Aston Martin, I'll hurt them.
