    They'll have to come up with a new sticker: "My other Aston Martin is a car". :)

      I'm sorry Aston Martin, but this Cygnet[^] is f-ugly. Seriously what were they thinking? [Marketing guys in a meeting] "You know what would look really good?" "What?" "Taking the long sleek rolling lines of our normal Aston brand, and then squishing them up onto a Toyota iQ shell!! We would then be a green loving and caring Aston Martin!!" [/Marketing guys in a meeting] P-lease. It looks like a shopping trolley. X|

      The story of the ugly duckling was about a cygnet. It had a happy ending. Sadly, this won't.

          I can't see them being that successful either. I mean they are alleged to cost £20,000!! Who is going to buy that for £20k? Surely footballers would have more sense than......oh, maybe not.

            I don't know. I kind of like it. I like the IQ too. I would never buy one. Purely for practicality. I looked briefly at the IQ a few months ago when I replaced my old car. (we ended up getting a Yaris). It's just not practical to have the boot/back seats combined. Sometimes you just need both. Perhaps as a second car it makes more sense. And £20k! that's around double an IQ.
