ASTON MARTIN'S NEW CITY COMMUTER

City living grooms a deep appreciation for compact cars. Enduring traffic, parallel parking, narrow streets and overall congestion will make anyone trade in their sedan or SUV for a micro – especially in these financial times. That’s why projects like the following are exciting. Aston Martin and Toyota are collaborating on a concept vehicle entitled Cygnet. It has all the appeal of your typical compact, like Smart or Mini, but it’s matched with the style components of your favorite luxury vehicle.

As Aston Martin’s Chief Executive stated, “Now is the right time for [the brand] to take this first bold step to embark on this special project – made possible with the support of an organization of Toyota’s stature and capability, and the intelligent design and perfect city car package of the iQ.” Although there is still lots of work to complete before the concept goes live, Aston Martin is confident that it’ll eventually become a reality.
