Irvine, CA--May 8, 2014: Aston Martin is set to add to the company's dealership reach across North America after finalising a dealer appointment in New Jersey with Aston Martin Summit.

Aston Martin Summit will be represented by a new five-car showroom set for completion later this year.

The prime positioning is ideally situated within easy reach of several major highways allowing for convenient access from any point in Northern and Central New Jersey.
