Just got back from the Geneva motor show. I would like to report good news from the Aston stand but sadly the Cygnet was on it and I promptly puked all over it much to the chargrin of the the suits standing around who I moonied at for good measure. I would have taken a dump on it but I think the Swiss would have found that somehow objectionable.

It looks worse in the flesh than it does in pictures guys. I do not believe anyone will buy this piece of crap.

This chap says he's just back from Geneva and says:

"Good news is that AM did not have the Cygnet with them and they still make the best looking cars on the planet."

Someone must be wrong, unless there's a cygnet on a non-Aston Martin stand (maybe Toyota!?)

FWIW as someone with older Aston Martin's, to me the brand dilution has already happened. I didn't see another Aston for about 3-4 months after I first bought my first one 8-9 years ago. Now I see them most days. The company would have been exclusive and bust if they'd carried on as they were. The same may be true today.
Yeh I noticed that post. Perhaps they only wheeled it out on Sunday. I have pics though smile Will put them up

It was there on the last Saturday too. Personally I prefer the standard iQ over it!

Autocar said production was expected to exceed 2000 units in the first year. Someone on PH must have ordered one, own up....!

Imagine Lambo reworking a VW polo and putting their badge on it! The Cygnet is the worst piece of brand extension imaginable. Dire financial times bring desperation on new levels...

rumours are and I must state rumours winkthe top speed with the Aston enhancements has been reduced never mind increased fuel consumption, as well some other issues, should I be planning remaps, sports exhausts and suspension upgrades, I do not think I need to worry about brake upgrades,rolleyes
