    I actually kind of like the one in Gulf livery, but then again, that makes any car look good. My biggest problem with the Cygnet is that they based it off of a Toyota platform. While there may not be a great British designed and built city car anymore that they could have based it off of, they could have at least stayed in Europe and gone to the Fiat 500 or something like that for their base vehicle.

      When the Aston Martin breaks down, at least they'll have a Japanese car as backup. It just happens to be painted the same colors as childrens' underpants.

    I love the one in Gulf livery. I can't think of a car with a more instant-cult pedigree.

  • SPPPP I am actually a pretty big Alfa fan ... and that is why I hate this car.
  • SCE to AUX They're spending billions on this venture, so I hope so.Investing during a lull in the EV market seems like a smart move - "buy low, sell high" and all that.Key for Honda will be achieving high efficiency in its EVs, something not everybody can do.
  • ChristianWimmer It might be overpriced for most, but probably not for the affluent city-dwellers who these are targeted at - we have tons of them in Munich where I live so I ā€œget itā€. I just think these look so terribly cheap and weird from a design POV.
