We find a new family of AdS{sub 4} vacua in IIA string theory. The internal space is topologically either the complex projective space CP{sup 3} or the ''flag manifold'' SU(3)/(U(1)xU(1)), but the metric is in general neither Einstein nor Kaehler. All known moduli are stabilized by fluxes, without using quantum effects or orientifold planes. The analysis is completely ten-dimensional and does not rely on assumptions about Kaluza-Klein reduction.
