Strange things are afoot in the car industry. Porsche said they would never build a 4 door, yet we have Cayenne. And now Aston Martin have released their first ‘city’ car based on the Toyota iQ. Like the iQ we won’t get the Cygnet in Australia, but it does beg the question why not? For the well heeled this seems like a great choice for putting around town. As the CEO of Aston Martin says “I don’t want to drive a 500 horse power sports car into the city every day.” Fair comment.
And this is where the Cygnet comes into its own. It doesn’t have 500 bhp, but it is a luxury car. Leather seats, Alcantara interior, satin chrome on the inside, polished chrome on the outside, 9 (yes 9) airbags, heated seats, keyless entry and start, satellite navigation and a 5 piece luggage set custom designed for the Cygnet. This is not an ordinary vehicle.
And the price? If you have to ask, you won’t be buying….
