Frying Pan Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Its based on an iQ, not a Yaris Common site at Gaydon as you might expect. Very colour sensitive - looks good in pearlescent white, OK in black and awful in red. Also seen a bright (Bugatti-ish) blue one today which looked pretty good. Interior is really good, although some of the switches and instruments are unchanged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon-R Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Saw one on M40 heading towards M42 in a light blue, it was only when i looked for a second time i realised it was a cygnet and not an iQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusCat Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Now what's that all about? Stylistically I have no idea but practically its purpose is to allow Aston Martin to comply with the European Union's fleet average emissions standards to take place in 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James7 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 So how long do we give it before Aston Martin-ised Toyota IQs are roaming the streets, having been given a diy make over by people with dubious taste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oxbiggar Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 James - that's exactly what I thought when I saw it... Having never heard of the cygnet before I thought someone had hand-crafted an "Aston Martin" from a bits bin, but I have to admit they did a very, very good job.
