I can't believe that Aston Martin paired up with Toyota and produced their own version of the Scion IQ and called it the Cygnet...WTF????

Scion IQ


Aston Martin Cygnet

It is to meet, or at least get closer to meeting, average manufacturer efficiency standards.

I know why they did it, but that doesn't make this abomination any easier to stomach...it makes me cringe when I think what other cross-breeds manufacturers are going to come up with...Bugatti/Tata, Ferrari/Kia, Lamborghini/????

WTF @ the Cygnet/iQ. I always thought that one was weird car for Aston to have, though I understand the reasons. I never made the connection between the iQ and the Cygnet though. wow

As a fan of Corvettes, I am open to all kinds of mods/conversions, so long as it compliments the car. I flipped over my calendar from November to December a few days ago to find this...The C5 Avelate Corvette...It has been bothering me for a few days now, and I just had to post this

I don't know...an homage is one thing, when properly executed. IMO, this just isn't well done; it's over the top.

Does the 55 designate the cubic centimeters under teh hood?

In their defense.. it's clean.. it's built by BMW and it's a 6sp turbo..

I think you're on the right track.

I get all that; but, it's still not (and never will be) an "M" car. Similarly, I would decry putting AMG badges on a Dodge Neon (when the two companies were one), or "F" badges on a Corolla, or "S" badges on an Eos, or "V" badges on a Cruze.

True.. but a lot of "M Sport" packaging.. like on the 135i, is just cosmetic.

Talking about the 135i.. have you seen the hatch version?

Yeah, I hear you.

Yep. Makes one wonder why the "hot hatch" hasn't caught on in the US the way it has in Europe.

Hey, you don't have to worry about paint matching, right?
