Aston Martin has thrown everything it could at the city-car Cygnet model while coming dangerously close to the absurd. With all the talk of luxury and custom build and options, we finally get to see just how Aston Martin is jazzing up its Toyota iQ models to make them look more Aston and less like a Japanese urban commuter.

We were never convinced and probably never will be, but the iQ is looking dapper in its new Cygnet robes. If you really want to get into the spirit of things, you can even polish up the Cygnet as if it were the smaller handbag to your bigger Aston suitcase; matching the same colour schemes and options as the bigger model you’ve got sitting in your garage as your Sunday (more pollutant?) drive.

We’ve no doubt the Aston Martin Cygnet is an example of quality workmanship, we’re just having some difficulty fitting it into our romanticised view of the British car manufacturer. Hop on over to the Cygnet configurator to play around.
