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
