Small doesn’t mean you have to forsake luxury.
Toyota has teamed up with British ultra-luxury carmaker Aston Martin to sell a version of the iQ city car, a car that is more than two feet shorter than a Mini Cooper. The nearly finished Toyotas (TM) will be shipped to Aston Martin’s assembly plant in Gaydon, England. There, the cars’ interiors will be trimmed in leather. Aston Martin will make no mechanical changes to the cars, but some cosmetic changes will be made to make them look like little Aston Martins. This version of Toyota’s iQ city car will be called the Aston Martin Cygnet. It will cost about $32,000, according to Aston Martin spokeswoman Francesca Smith. – From CNN
