Indeed the press release by Aston was almost comical. I didn't believe for a second that this was a "pause".

The road car project which is not being cancelled has had many delays too. Deliveries were supposed to start in Q4 last year. Based on public outings looks like no more than 3 test mules? even exist. Of course AM wouldn't ever officially cite this as a reason. The convergence turned out be an convenient excuse.

ps. I just realized Andy Palmer has now overseen two of the most pathetic LMP programs in recent years (he was the VP of marketing or something and very visible figure in the early stages of the Nissan program).
