Aston Martin Reveals the Cygnet City-Car Concept
By Greg Migliore
Today we're getting a first peek at the curious pairing of Aston Martin and Toyota with the release of official pictures of the Aston Martin Cygnet concept.
The car is being billed as a luxury commuter ride for urban areas. It's a Toyota iQ with a restyled front end with Aston Martin's styling cues.
No one will mistake this thing for a Vantage, but Aston Martin says development will continue on the Cygnet into next year, when it could become a reality for sale in the U.K. and other European markets.
The car could be offered to current Aston Martin owners as a second or third car. Look for the mechanicals to remain the same as those of the Toyota iQ.
The interior will be upgraded, and a photo shows red finishings and a sporty appearance. Content provided by AutoWeek.
