Please don’t make me look like a bad guy, I was not trying to belittle or patronize you, I'm sorry you took it that way, whether you choose to believe me or not is up to you. Secondly, what you write about Aston Martin does nothing to hurt my feeling. My response to your comment wasn’t regarding the Concorso d’Eleganza, Villa d’Este, but it was regarding your intention behind the comment. I was merely suggesting something to comment on, I don’t expect you to listen to me and I was simply expressing my opinion of your comments and nothing more. I probably won’t stop reading your comments but I’ll stop responding to them. If I offended you, that was not my intention.

Sincerely,

Ivan Gutierrez

I happen to have an opinion that is different from yours, which is equally biased. We are in America, and our current president is not Chavez; so freedom of speech still holds.

By any means, when I express my opinion, I base the former on data and facts; the lack of supporting data and fact leads to gossip, which you might accept unconditionally if you were gullible.

I understand that what I wrote may have hurt your feelings -as a fan of Aston Martin; truth hurts sometimes. However, if you read my statement carefully, you'll realize that the subject matter is not you. By all means, I have no desire to hurt you, belittle you, or patronizing you publicly like you tried to do with me in your response above. If you don't like what I write, don't read it; don't tell me what I should write ..

I will certainly welcome a factual rebuttal about what I originally wrote, which you appear to have ignored.

Cheers

Introducing a new car at an event whose purpose is “celebrating the mystique of Historic Cars”, and winning a consolation award for design (top design award my donkey … dudes let's be real) in a sub-category where there were only 8 entries is master piece of mass manipulation, and a joke as well …

Bring that car to a real car show, with other real cars …
