what s wrong with this picture when do we get a zagato version edition

The Aston Martin Cygnet: because the auto industry just isn’t surreal enough these days. For its next trick, the Aston Martin grille will be appearing on a Corolla. Is there a photoshopper in the house?

It looks like the lovechild of a Sebring and a Fiat 500.

Actually AM sells several thousand. As already mentioned the Cygnet will only be sold to people, who purchase one of the other AMs. It will be the first AM ever with a healthy reliability and the first since the DB6 without ultra cheap interior fittings from the lowiest of Fords, or old generation Volvos marring all that leather, wood and thick carpets. ;) Is it the death of a brand? Hardly - they will not be offered outside of Europe and in Europe they will signify quite well that your other car is an AM, much better than a Mini or something else that many owners drive in town. Contrary to what someone else said this will be by far the most technologically advanced AM on sale, too, being iQ based. To be honest it is probably one of the best possible donor cars, if you really feel the need for such a move. And given how healthy some of AMs owners are financially this very moment, every little added cashflow will really help. All that said I am still not necessarily in favour of the thing. Now if it was powered by a high revving motorcycle engine supported by a hybrid powertrain for low down torque, it would be an instant winner :D

Redapple2 I think I ve been in 100 plants. ~ 20 in Mexico. ~10 Europe. Balance usa. About 1/2 nonunion. I supervised UAW skilled trades guys at GM Powertrain for 6 years. I know the answer.PS- you do know GM products - sales weighted - average about 40% USA-Canada Content.
Jrhurren Unions and ownership need to work towards the common good together. Shawn Fain is a clown who would love to drive the companies out of business (or offshored) just to claim victory.
Redapple2 Tadge will be replaced with a girl. Even thought -today- only 13% of engineer -newly granted BS are female. So, a Tadge level job takes ~~ 25 yrs of experience, I d look at % in 2000. I d bet it was lower. Not higher. 10%. (You cannot believe what % of top jobs at gm are women. @ 10%. Jeez.)

TheEndlessEnigma Of course they should unionize. US based automotive production component production and auto assembly plants with unionized memberships produce the highest quality products in the automotive sector. Just look at the high quality products produced by GM, Ford and Chrysler!
