New Cygnet to be released in 2018 !
Discussion
This flurry of specials and brand new Astons is becoming too much for me...lm going to need a lie down.
The launch of the new Cygnet will be of special interest to speedracer as AM have developed their own high performance engine and it's going to be available as a manual.
There will also be a track only version,with five wheels and a whacking great big rear spoiler.
Can't wait.
Like our friend with the new Vantage I've put a deposit down already for my Cygnet.
No idea what it will look like,the spec,or anything but what the hell its an Aston.

I've heard it will be 1 of 1 Steve. So you've got a real collectors item there!
I guess on a slightly more serious note we need to get used to this; AML used to go decades between model changes, now we're looking at what 7 in 7 years? So inevitably there's going to be run-out versions of things
But even so it is getting a bit much. I'm hoping that at least there are no more GT x versions and they just stick with vanilla and AMR and the odd Zagato. Otherwise it could get really silly

In the past, we have been told that it now costs hundreds of millions, to develop a new model.
How is all this possible?

5 wheels? Aston Martin has such a glorious heritage building cars with 4 wheels. Why break with tradition like that???The launch of the new Cygnet will be of special interest to speedracer as AM have developed their own high performance engine and it's going to be available as a manual.

How can I put this delicately, so as not to start another rumpus across the Atlantic.
My Aston Martin Vantage does indeed have 5 wheels.

Avin,
You're up early!

Always up early...I rise from my slumber at 4am.......snooze you lose....You're up early!
Rappa
Not much to do at that time of day.......listen to World radio.... do some bookwork.....write rubbish on the forum to keep myself amused.
That and time spent working on the Meaning of Life.

Coincidentally,Sean,I'm coming to Somerset from the 23rd July in my Aston for a few days,a short holiday break with my wife.You're up early!
Rappa
Staying around the Porlock and Newquay areas so if you or anybody else,that lives that way, wants to meet this living legend now's your chance.

Avin,
I might be up for that on the 23rd.
My wife may groan at the thought of more car related social activity. There are a couple of us here (near GLASTONBURY so down with the kids).
Currently in Devon having some nicer sounding pipes added to the DB9.
Hopefully it won't make it too vulgar.
A nice Virage and Vanquish are also here to look over.
Off to do prom duties for a friend's daughter so no ladyboys needed here.

Not suggesting anything too car related,my wife would get bored after 10 minutes kicking tyres. I might be up for that on the 23rd.

I was thinking more of you buying me a shandy and then off to your country estate.
Won't get there till the afternoonish.

You need to do more holiday homework, Steven.
They don't drink shandy in Zummerzet.
No, Cider is the drink there, but make sure you ask for Scrumpy. That is the proper strong stuff.
Remember to take some pieces of straw to carry.
A beautiful and wonderful county. You will enjoy.
You might be especially interested in the Glastonbury retail businesses.
Walk along the main street and study what is on display in all the shop windows.
It is a complete puzzle to me. £200 for one coloured pebble!
After your visit, you might be able to explain to me what is going on.

Not a big cider fan.
Unlike your good self, going to so many drinks parties and soirées.
In retail there's little appetite for the middle market for independents,either bottom or top end.
