What do you think of the Aston Martin Cygnet? Here's a link if you're unframiliar.http://www.caranddriver.com/news/car/09q4/2011_aston_martin_cygnet-official_photos_and_info
In my opinion, it is utterly stupid. I think that the reasons are obvious enough.

It's a Smart Fourtwo that's been gussied up by Aston Martin to drum up sales from over-rich idiots who don't realize that the Smart Fourtwo is a horrible vehicle. In safety, emissions, fuel economy, performance, handling, and luggage space. I'd rather own a Tato Nano, that way I'd at least know I'd get a warm night by the fire.

Technically, it's based off of the Toyota iQ, but there isn't really a difference.

I second your anger for the Smart. What an oxymoron it's name is too.

come on Aston, you can do better than this, also, is it so wise to join up with Toyota, the only car that comes with a free unintended accleration derived head injury?

I don't think Aston Martin would use a supercharger in a million years, especially on that.

I believe the point is wait for it ....wait for it.... Fuel economy.

WOW I can't believe it.

Your stupid as-s government oh and along with mine are making car companies produce fuel efficient cars. The overall output of a car company's average MPG must meet some stupid guideline so they have to sell crap like this to make real cars that people actually want to buy.

As a side note I'm thinking V-12 conversion here. I might have to drive from the roof though.

yup,. darn EU guidelines, the bain of petrol heads all over europe. still if it allows aston to carry on producing there mental DBS-v12, then i quess its not such a harsh price to pay

the big shame is that the Damnh pencil Necks in Brussels have gone and killed the Mazda Renesis engine, No More RX8, and the new RX7 wont be street legal here.

It looks like a nice car if you are a small person. It would be good on gas probably but you probably wouldn't be good for fitting a family in or even a trip to the grocery store. To me, it looks like a lunch box on wheels.
