Aston Martin To Make Their Own Smart Car

Lets skip the fancy lead-ins and hilarious pre-content commentary and just jump right to introducing Aston Martin’s 2010 Cygnet. It’s the British Car maker’s response to a changing global economy and will undoubtedly put an end to their unofficial title of best looking car manufacturer ever.
Aston Martin calls the Cygnet “a new luxury commuter car” which begs the question: is there even a market for a posh Smart Car? While no details on performance or price have been released yet we do know this car did start life out as a Toyota iQ and will probably be aimed at rich eco-nuts and actresses.
So lets review: The Cygnet is an Aston Martin badged Smart Car that’s likely to be expensive, snooty, and a poor performer but is really a Toyota….
Aston Martin, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DON’T DO IT!!

You’re kidding me. Holy cow. Worst idea ever.
How did you not go into a coma upon seeing that smart car? Seeing a DB9 with four doors got you up in a tizzy for weeks

Haha, whose to say I am not in the hospital right now? But seriously, this is a bad bad bad idea.
