Aston Martin Cygnet
During my walk to pick up a sandwich for lunch, I saw this new Aston Martin Cygnet. I wondered if it would look better in the metal than in the press shots; in my humble opinion, it did not. Perhaps it was the colour but it looked like an odious little econo-box which has been burdened with a Max Power bodykit, in the hopes of making it look like a mini Vanquish.  I know they need to reduce the average CO2 in the Aston range but was this the only way?

So, we've established you both have plenty of bad taste
Yep, having you as a friend proves that!  Now, at the risk of being a pedant, let me explain... Letter of Intent = "I haven't seen the vehicle but I like the concept of a small, premium, car. If you don't make a mess of it, I would like the opportunity to purchase one." Order = "I have seen the cock-up you have made of a good concept and would like to purchase this vehicle." Follow on from the above: - Me = letter of intent to local dealer at concept stage Brian = order to the Big Cheese at Aston after seeing the press shots (and I believe the car at Geneva 2010?) 
Cheers

BtG, you're just upset that you didn't fit into the Jellybean.

I'm not sure this "blue" is the best color for a small car like this, maybe it would be better with a nice white (like the FIAT funky white) or a metallic black ...

The only paint coat that would mitigate this monstrosity would be a Klingon Cloak of Invisibility. No I am not a treckie before anyone casts nasturshiums. 
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I think you spelt Trekkie wrong.......... I also think it's a cutie from the front, but having sampled a Smart I wouldn't want one.

I also think it's a cutie from the front, but having sampled a Smart I wouldn't want one.  it's not based on a Smart but a Toyota IQ, a nice car in itself. Personally I don't see the harm in AM 'producing' a good city car to both improve CO2 targets and proftability. I just don't think what AM have done in anyway justifies the tripling of cost nor improves the aesthetics. Must do (considerably) better!

Did I read somewhere that they will only be sold initially to existing AM Owners? No need for a " my other car is a vantage" sticker. You can tell the client base, - the spec includes a removable AM leather handbag/glovebox, Boshly that kinda rings a few bells
