Aston Martin to launch the Cygnet city car
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009Aston Martin, the car of choice for both secret agents and the rich and famous. But we suspect neither will be beating down the showroom door for the Aston Martin Cygnet – although they will be the only people entitled to buy one.
The Cygnet is Aston Martin’s take on the city car. Or rather, it’s Aston’s take on an existing one, specifically the Toyota iQ, with the Japanese car giant building the thing, then sending it over to Aston Martin for the ‘glam’. Which leaves you with a reliable, economical car with all the refinements of a high-end Aston. Well, almost – a stumpy city car really isn’t going to impress your fellow spies in Cannes, Aston badge or not. Oh my God how to ruin a brand!
