What the deuce is this? Some kind of Citroën C1-based Aston Martin parody?

It's a re-badged Toyota iQ called the Cygnet, horrible looking yoke. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_iQ

It became some sort of requirement that European car manufacturers had to sell cars with low CO2 emissions to offset the emissions on high-output cars or some craic like that.

Aston tart up Toyota iQ's and sell them for quite a big premium.

I'm glad I saw this picture this morning because I talked about that exact same point in my strategic management exam this morning! :pac:

Saw a silver Lotus Exige in the car park of the Spawell in Templeogue, then, a couple of minutes later a bright yellow Exige in Knocklyon. Guessing there might have been a meet on around here?

saw that white Lambo in Stillorgan last week - the sound was SWEEEEETTTTTT.......didn't get any pics though.

I visited Berlin just over a month ago so I didn't see this today! I've been to busy to go through my images since starting a new job, slowly but surely I'm working through them so expect some more!

This one is probably my best shot so far! If you ever find yourself in Berlin, you have to visit Classic Remise! It's full of amazing cars! I'll post more from there as I go through them, if you want to see more offcourse

Hello everyone,

My name is Greg. I am new here. I am following this thread for good few months (or even longer) and I thought it is a time to sign in, introduce myself and post some photos. I would like to share with you few shots i took. Photography is just my hobby. I am always trying to connect this hobby with my other hobbys. Cars and travel. You can find results below.

For the starter few shots i took last week in London. Hope you like them.

Enjoy.

That's a myth, as confirmed by Aston Martin CEO himself. Google it

Wikipedia suggests otherwise.

Wikipedia wrong shocker!!

Aston don't make enough cars to have to comply with that particular eu legislation.

If you don't believe me what about Ferrari. Rolls, Lamborghini, bently etc

Whether that's true or not is irrelevant, the Cygnet is an IQ.

Never questioned that. Don't think anyone would be dumb enough to
