Mmkay let's see here .. Who would've thought we'd see the day Aston Martin makes babies... Look and judge for yourself: Looks familiar? It's actually a Toyota IQ through Aston Martin's eyes.. It has a 100HP 1.3 liter engine, estimated between 25K and 50K euro's.. It will be only available in Europe and exclusively to Aston Martin owners... I don't know what to think at this moment...

Is an IQ the same as a Yaris?
Are these hand built?
They're simply doing what Porsche did. Trying to access another market and get some money. Nothing wrong with it. Personally, I wouldn't get one. If I already had an Aston Martin, why would I want this?

Definitly not. My mother drives a Yaris and that -somewhat- a four seater car; The IQ is a 2 seater car (3?) .. And from what i've read, Aston Martin's filosofy behind this car is that the Aston Martin owner is a responsible driver that knows when to drive which car and where ... Bandit

I personally would buy this car over the Smart Car, Mini Cooper, Nissan (Cube?), etc.

But they're only available to current Aston owners.
I guess the thought is that you'll drive this on the day to day, and save the "real" one for occasions.... thus saving the planet, or something.

... which is kinda' funny really since 'not' buying a car is actually better for the environment than adding another one into the mix.

totally agree but then how would we get around(besides a bus)to the places we need to be like the store or a meeting of some sort and that Aston Martin looks awful, at first I thought they just made it look weird like they did to the 2010 Mustang(look futuristic) because of the thread icon(laugh) you put on here Bandit, but when I actually saw it i was like what the truck.What did they do to it?It looks awful.

Lol Jussi Saw that in today's paper. It's called a Cygnet. So if i buy one, and it grows up, does it turn into an actual swan? The DB9 for eg? I don't like these sort of toys, whatever the marque, so no, me no likey this thing either. And if anyone who has a proper Aston sitting in the garage, actually thought of buying this, they should be immediately transported to the nearest psychiatrist

Maybe they should give it for free when one buys a proper Aston ...

I hate that green outlining.
You guys remember Shrek? Or Shrek 2? Can't remember which one. Where they make that giant gingerbrean man. Now picture that man's face, with that mouth outlined in white 'icing'. That's what i see when i see that green crap on the front of that car. Either that, or maybe i should pick it up by the spoiler and vaccuum with it's 'face'. Spoils an otherwise perfectly fine car.
And yes i realise it's not meant to be 'beautiful', because this is racing version, but still. I don't want to go around in a green-icing-mouth gingerbread Aston.

I believe it was Shrek 3 and how can you be creep out by the giant gingerbread man? I know it does look like the face of it but it's just a vinyl, I didn't even notice that until I read your post that it looked like this but upward :0 but it's still an awesome car

LOL Kat. Just missing the gumdrop buttons. Lord Farquad chopped off his limbs and he had them replaced with wheels.
