A bit of surprise (not in a nice way)... A variant of Toyota IQ according to Wikipedia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted January 1, 2013 Yes yes. They introduced this in the line up to bring the average CO2 output of the Aston Martin range.... since Ford sold it there were no more 1 - 1.5 litre cars to help with the average between the co-owned parent companies so they had to take drastic measures (with many in disapproval) if they were to maintain their big engines. Companies like Mercedes, Ferrari, Lamborghini managed to avoid this as within the co owned companies there are a range of smaller eco cars with low CO2 emissions. Ferarri is owned by Fiat S.p.A and Lambo part of Volkswagen Group which is probably the biggest automotive parent group in the world, comprised of Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, SEAT, Å koda and Volkswagen marques. Plenty of cars in that range to provide a lower CO2 output! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted January 7, 2013 The car was on Top Gear a few years back, a total waste of money IMO as pre-production it was supposed to be listed at nearly 3 times the price of the Toyota version. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
