Aston is a niche car. The M6GC is a BMW, just a BMW.
Aston is a fckn Aston. It stands on its own.
You can compare the cars I agree. I just think that BMW is no where close to the prestige of an Aston.
Bentley guy isnt getting a M6GC either.
BMW guy is just stretching his wallet and getting an M6GC. BMW is prob just losing M5 sales for the M6GC.
I dont think BMW is gonna take Aston business or any other niche. Its just a BMW.
I guess time will tell...
Let me say I have an loaded M3 and its nice, but its not a really nice car.
Its not a Porsche GT3 or a 911 Carrera and its certainly not an Aston.

From your response I see comprehension is not your strong suit.
I wasn't saying BMW was taking business from Aston. I was saying they are following the same concept which is charging a higher price for a car which looks better and is more exclusive, but which doesn't perform better. The only difference is they have created an exclusive, coupe like car for $136k vs, $200k. It's the same business idea, but lower price for a buyer with lower price limit.
Also a BMW is not a BMW. You can charge >$130k and still use the BMW brand. The 760 and M6 cabrio are evidence of this. Mercedes and Lexus have stretched their brands well above $200k on some models and have sold out those cars with no problems.
