The DBX Saved Aston Martin From A Catastrophic 2020

The purveyor of James Bond’s most attractive automobiles recorded 4,150 retail gross sales in 2020, a enormous fall of 32 percent in excess of the now inadequate variety of 2019. Wholesale volumes dropped also: gross sales to sellers dropped a whopping 42 percent from 5,862 models in 2019 to just 3,394.
