Re: Maybe you CAN own an AUSTIN MARTIN?
Would be nice if they brought it the US for nothing more than a good commuter car.There's no confirmation yet on which powertrain the Cygnet will use, but it will probably be the 1.3-liter, 97-bhp unit with either a 6-speed manual or a CVT. No other mechanical changes, apart from larger 16-in. wheels, will be made to bring the car more into line with Aston's DNA.
On the EU drive cycle the iQ achieves 58.8 mpg (48.9 mpg U.S.) which would help improve Aston's corporate average fuel figures.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

It's like a production version of a photochop that people put into their signatures and use as avatars.

That thing is a crime. I can't wait to read a reaction from Clarkson.

Re: Maybe you CAN own an AUSTIN MARTIN?
So wait a minute ... this isn't a joke? Or a wacky concept? This is a real thing they're going to bring to production? Oh that's sad.
