Aston Martin Cygnet for real!

Just when I thought it was all a bad joke made up by the auto press...parked right outside my hotel was this rebadged Toyota IQ Aston Martin Cygnet...all tarted up too with blue accent wheels and all. Comical.

BUt as RobZ points out in the comments it's a limited edition of a limited edition... guess it's either the prototype or they delivered early ...Check HERE

  1. When they showed it on Top Gear I thought it was a joke. What kind of crazy world do we live in when a super car maker has to put some crap out like this just to satisfy a socialist government?

  3. I work next door to Aston have to look at them daily. Madness

  4. They're a bit shit, no question - and it isn't the UK government that forced it to happen, it's the bloody EU.

    However, I'd rather live in a world where these exist, than one where proper Astons don't.
