I like how they used the iconic grill to the Euro Iq ie Aston Martin Cygnet.

Talk about devaluing the brand. I don't know what's worse, putting that grill on a Scion Iq or a Ford Fusion.

I believe the Cygnet exists solely to bring AM's 'fleet average' emissions down. I've never seen one on the road!

Existed. It stopped production more than a year ago, and Autocar says there were only 143 sold.

Was it 3D printed from some Japanese anime kid's show?

It looks like what a Transformer would turn back into if it was running Windows 98 and hit the blue screen of death just as it started the transforming process

I'm not one to care what a car looks like, usually, but this is pretty bad. Looks like a crazed PacMan. Form should follow function is my philosophy.

The car should sell well with the younger crowd who don't have good parallel parking skills or friends.

Looking at your avatar, my assumption is that you would not be considered a young un' (25 or younger).

Obviously designed by the guy who drew Pokemon. I knew that game would come back to haunt us.

Folks - this is the "concept" of the iQ - they juiced it up boy racer style.

We have had the iQ in production for several years now.
