Aston Martin Cygnet based on Toyota iQ.
I think it looks nice... and funny :)

I certainly hope that photo isn't truly from Aston Martin. That looks pretty silly.

Eee, I agree. Reminds me of those Aston Martin body kits for the BMW Z3 and Miata.

If the original James Bond saw that I expect he would down quite a few quickly without even worrying about whether they were shaken or stirred...

He would probably want them stirred as he would leave shaken after seeing it

um, I dont think that Aston Martin would ever make a IQ based car, especially with the lack of HP... Only way AM would make that, if it had 300hp in that tiny little thing.

Well whether or not any of us think they would make one... fact is they would

I've read somewhere that only aston martin owners will be able to buy one. This way it stays an exclusive car.

Yes, the exclusivity factor will be there in some form of another, I agree. The amazing thing to me is that Aston Martin thinks so much of the iQ platform so as to enter into a partnership like this w/ Toyota. That says alot, imo.

I still think the Yaris wins in offering some semblance of a trunk (I find this highly useful) and a bit more seating. Still, the overall innovations of the iQ have obviously gotten someone's attention!!!!

I'm glad to see Toyota out there doing cool stuff w/ their cars. They deserve some credit.

The original Q too would question the IQ of one who would try to do an AH from an iQ....
