    The real backstory is the fact that Aston Martin was late to the China party and to date only have 15 dealers in the mainland selling only 250 cars per year (yes, 250 cars per year, that’s not a typo).

    As crazy as it sounds, putting LeTV in their cars actually might help them sell more cars and give their brand identity a much needed boost here.
