Most of you have probably forgot about the
Aston Martin Cygnet city car, which is basically a customized Toyota iQ with a jacked up price tag and wearing the classic Aston Martin grille.
Sadly, it seems that the British company is still invested in the project, so we shall see it in the near future patrolling the city streets of Europe.
That’s not all though, as a new report, coming from Automotive News, cites that the Aston Martin Cygnet might also reach US shores, as early as 2012. This is extremely risky, as US customers haven’t exactly welcomed premium city cars with open arms (we’re looking at you, Smart ForTwo).
The Cygnet will share the same 1.3-liter engine with the Scion iQ, also getting ready to be launched in the USA.
Frankly, we’re a bit skeptical of this report, but, if real Aston Martin customers would demand the compact model to arrive on US shores, we’re pretty sure Aston would satisfy their demands (for the right price, of course).
