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.

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.

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.

Maybe they can destroy more of these new little Astons instead of the nice real ones

I was just imagining 007 rolling in the mini Aston with it all done up w/ missles, guns, oil slick, etc...probably need to be in little streets of Italy or something similar to make it worthwhile... I guess it would have to be silver to go along w/ the 007 car theme
