Just spotted this for sale, I can't imagine who thought it was a good idea. It did me laugh though.

Cool little car, at least as cool at the FIAT 500s with Ferrari paint!

I think they should be 'Toyota by Aston Martin' rather than an AM car, but we all know why it exists, pointless emissions laws.

I dunno, those Abarth 695 Tributo Ferraris are pretty cool. Makes the Cygnet look a bargain too, they're £40k aren't they? At least you get it based on a fun hot hatch instead of a basic dull hatch though.

Actually you have a point - the FIAT 500 is fast, very fast for a car of it's size!!

Maybe there's something wrong with me, but I like it. Is a bit pricey though.

yes The one I drove had the Essesse pack and I think that's 160 BHP. The 695 Tributo Ferrari is 180. Bet it's extremely fun smile

I think the Cygnet would be a pretty cool little car to have if your main Aston looked like this:



or this

I think Gulf replica Astons look cool - that said, I wouldn't drive about in one! Maybe for Le Mans or something, but not full time, then I think you would indeed look a bit of a cock.

But it's good to be back to normality, I was sick of all the agreeing LBS tongue out

Sorry to disagree, George, but you'd need at least this to make that Cygnet look cool:

Good lord, that's gorgeous. I don't know if I'd have the cajones to do that to my car, but it does look good!
