Default Aston Martin Cygnet is based on the Toyota iQ supermini... what?



So... 2009 is the year Aston Martin has completely lost its plot, yes?

Not lowering. Just merely trying to offset this monstrosity.

It's only available to people who already own Aston Martins. Kind of like a runabout for daily activities. Pretty ugly, though.

By including it in their range they will drop the average of CO2 produced across the range dramatically, there was a target set by the EU and I suppose this is a loophole way of achieving it.

hehe i think this car is cool, okey it's not a real Aston Martin but stil just look at it. It got the shape of a sportscar, if they also tuned the engine abit it could go into production some day. I ilke small cars, they are fun to drive couse you feel the car more, put a powerfull little engine in it and it wil go like an GTI or faster. Okey i also know that it is very veired that Aston Martin is building this car, maybe they just wonna show us that they can make more than just cool sportscars. Beside that we are in the middle of a financial krise, so the supercars have a hard time. Even if this is only a conceptcar I wil give it

Aston Martin's most embarrassing production car ever is no more, as the British brand has finally admitted defeat ceasing production of its Japanese-English patient, the Cygnet.

Awe man I wanted to be mini me .007 haha
