Aston Martin's city car. Yes, really...


You may have seen a picture of this car in the summer, but here’s a new version just published by Aston Martin. There was an element of ‘you’re having a laugh!’ when the Cygnet concept was first talked about in June. People checked their calendars to make sure it wasn’t April Fools Day. Yes, it really is a Toyota iQ with a new badge and grille. But Aston said it was serious about developing it as a luxury commuter vehicle, and this official picture proves that’s the case. What’s more, its plans appear to have subtly changed. Bosses had said it would only be available to existing Aston customers, based on the premise that they all have a second vehicle anyway so why not make it an Aston. But now the company line is that it will be “initally available” to Aston owners, suggesting it would go on general sale later. I'd like to see the V12 version. Unfortunately you'd have to sacrifice the seats...
