<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/aston-martin/">Aston Martin</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/daimler">Daimler</a> are apparently becoming chummy right now. According to <em>The Financial Times</em>, the two automakers are chatting about a possible relationship centered around Daimler's super-luxe <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/maybach">Maybach</a> sedan. Aston Martin is reportedly looking to glean some powertrain knowledge from the German automaker (for a possible <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/lagonda">Lagonda</a> revival?) and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/31/report-maybach-will-soldier-on-gain-hybrid/">Daimler could use help reviving a automobile that few are buying</a>.<br />
<br />
An exotic luxury sedan crafted as a joint venture between the Brits and the Germans sounds like an intriguing concept. As a matter of fact it <em>should</em> sound intriguing because <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/bentley/">Bentley</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/rolls-royce/">Rolls-Royce</a> figured out the formula a few years ago. Though few out there can actually afford any automobile in this category, it would be nice to see new life breathed into the Maybach nameplate.<br />
