Fair use rationale for Image:DBS V12.jpg

Image:DBS V12.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

What about price?

It would seem reasonable and informative to give a price, even if that could only be in round figures. Is this car in the price class of an $80,000 USD high end or the astronomical $250,000 USD super luxury sports car. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.181.18.115 (talk) 15:21, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Reportedly is around 176,000 pounds in UK, quite more than 250.000$... One, usually, buys an Aston when he fancies something classier than a Ferrari...79.152.128.250 (talk) 15:42, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

“Media Appearances” needs a fix

“Although the company sold over 90% of Aston Martin Lagonda Limited in 2007, the DBS returned for the pre-credits car chase around Lake Garda in the 2008 Bond film Quantum of Solace.[4]”

Is it me, or this phrase is a little confuse? “Although [Ford Motor] Company sold over 90%...” seems to imply that the car should have NOT returned in “Quantum of Solace”, due to the Ford sell-off.

I see no explicit rationale for this affirmation, unless there is some direct connection between Ford and Broccoli's EON (the producer of the movie) that SHOULD have been explained here.

From what I know, the “product placement” of the DBS in the Bond movies was a choice of Aston Martin marketing management (and a very wise one), not of Ford. 79.152.128.250 (talk) 15:32, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
