  • i tought of one use thouh (what a word) i cloud be used as a cool little town car coz it doesnt eat too much and its quiet luxurius but anyway i thing its not problem the power for price but those looks.. cloudnt they make something more aston-looking?

  • I'm pretty sure mother nature would rather sacrifice the ice caps to not have this car built.

  • OMG this thing is epic i'll buy one if it costs around 2000 dollars

  • @antipeacemilitias The price gose up to 40000us dollars O_o i'll take a TATA Nano thank you...

    But would be nice to see it in the next Jame Bond movie :p

  • @ UnrealGlider, I know its just a toyota IQ with a makeover, and its still hideous

  • i will thumb this up because it was nice editing

  • I think that car is an absolute insult to the Aston Martin name Badge. Aston martin must be in trouble if they need money that bad. Are they trying to target soccer moms? In an Aston Martin? OMFG Its James Bond's sexiest car ever for God's sake. it is supposed to be an elegant, sexy, supercar. Did Mini buy out Aston or something? WTF, I'm very confused atm! this is not relevant to ANYTHING Aston is supposed to stand for. Please boycott this car. It will ruin Aston Martin's reputation forever!

  • i agree, its a complete waste of time in my opinion

  • cool

  • yeah cool film. i like it but not that much lol just kidding yeah i like it very much. I think it's just 4 young or cool adult people ^^, not 4 boring masses

  • Comment removed

  • hahaha well you're right calm down man, lol you're right forget what i wrote down i was kinda drunk lol

  • that's not even worth a propper comment

  • its just an IQ with an aston grill tacked onto the front end, pretty pointless. Most will be bought by Londoners thinking that its the latest must have fashion statement, but its not, its just a boggo Toyota.

    Can't wait to see what Jeremy & Co think of this piece of crap

  • i think aston martin have simply blindfolded the designer and said design a hatchback and we will build whatever you draw, yeah, thats shit. did no-one think to look at any form of DB9 and this side by side? perhaps its got a secret 8ltr v12 or something.

  • The film is a disgrace. The car is a disgrace.

  • looks like a fucking Geo

  • is anyone really going to sprint past a box-fresh DBS to reach for a little cygnet?

  • Unless Aston get great sales for the car they will keep the cygnet for Aston owners only, so to get one you need a DB9 or a vantage V8, etc...

    I reckon it is the ugliest car ever made by Aston, those with me, thumbs up me, otherwise thumbs down

  • well if you disagree, it aint aston's prettiest car ever

  • thats because it isnt actually made by aston martin its just a blinged up toyato iq

  • @Jezzfezz Its not made by aston.

  • @UnrealGlider yes it is, go on their website. its there

  • First

  • Wow that's one poor commercial

  • I hope they we're forcing you to run that slowly because the dolly couldn't keep up... ;)

  • one of the reasons they made this is because a commonly used figure to judge car companies green-ness is the average CO2 output of their range, so by adding this to their range they offset the high CO2 of their other cars making them look nice and green compared to rival super car companies, and it prepares them for possible strict government legislation

  • Remember back in the day if someone would say "I have an Aston Martin" was prestigious? Not anymore. The Cygnet looks like it was squeezed at the front and rear and is gonna be VERY popular with chavs cause of the badge.

  • @crowbarftw it wont be popular with chavs because of the very high price tag for what your getting, it will be popular with people with more cash than sense and already have an aston, and they can have a matching show-off city car

  • Aston Martin is cutting off it's off testicles.

  • Is this seriously the best aston martin can do?

  • we've just witnessed the death of another british brand.

  • Man that is a fugly car... :|

  • I hate that font. Who the hell uses that font for a real project?

    Unless they bring these to Japan with double the horsepower of an iQ I see no need of getting one. The iQ's here are actually very nice inside already.

  • Fucking terrible commercial, what the hell were they thinking?

  • Completely over-the-top, trying to grab onto a 'fad' that is very quickly fading away. Rubbish advert, but I'm very intrigued about the car.

  • That wasn't over-the-top at all... that 'free-running' was simply pathetic. Which isn't a fading 'fad', it's actually still gaining popularity in its various forms the world over.

    I agree that it's a rubbish advert though. It had potential... but it was very, very poorly executed. They needed a budget triple what they spent.

  • You missed the DB9! Idiot!

    (They were probably going to the one they could afford, haha...)

  • @iannGT2

    Trust me if they cant afford the DB9 they cant afford the Cygnet as to be eligible to purchase you have to purchase one of the more expensive proper Astons.

  • somebody has been watching top gear! :P

  • Seriously? That sounds a bit completely pointless...

  • The idea is you buy a Vantage and use it for fun at the weekend and use the Cygnet for the daily commute or nipping to the shops basically anytime you want something a bit more practical and economical and the best thing is you can still impress cus your in an Aston

  • Ah, so I'll be having an all-Aston garage then. Good idea. Except the Cygnet is a bit awkward to be called an Aston Martin. I don't know, I just think its awkward.

  • @adiholl I'd only laugh at you for driving a Cygnet. Want a small, nimble daily commute car? Get a Fiat Panda/500. Want to have fun at that, get the Abarth. In style? Get the Ferrari version of the 500. Want to crash, burn and die? Get the 261 bhp (!!!) Hamann version of the 500 Abarth. The iQ is probably decent, but it's not THAT good. And the 500 just looks good.

  • @kadvid i agree with you, If i was to buy a a small car i would go for the Fiat 500 Abarth any day of the week, ill im saying is i can see why they are doing it and i think its a good idea, even if money was no object i wouldn't want one

  • American

  • oh, and I don't like the goofy font either! :)

  • I do like the look of this car, but the hopeless efforts of these two gentlemen in this video only reinforce the argument that these parkour viral videos really aren't "cool" anymore.

  • The only point of this car that I can see is to circumvent laws regulating the CO2 the cars of a company may produce. This iQ should lower the average of Aston Martin quite a bit. It's still hideous tho.

  • this is probably the only intelligent comment on this video. congratulations.

  • I agree with veyronman, my hats of to you, kadvid. But then again, Audi and Mercedes would rather make an all electric supercar. So, why a re-badged re-faced two seater mini-mobile?

  • @iannGT2 Thanks. I suppose Audi and Mercedes have much more resources than Aston. Mercedes owns a part of Tesla, so it has already the technology needed to build electric performance cars. Audi belongs to VW, and no doubt they do know a bit about electric cars too. Also, those cars would mean the development of an entirely new car, which costs a lot. Rebadging a iQ is cheap.

  • But why an iQ? Slightly overkill on this 'greener' image thing if you ask me. Unless thats what they're looking for?

  • @iannGT2 Hm... rebadging a Golf GTI wouldn't help much, would it? The iQ probably has a pretty low CO2 emission. I don't they really do it for the money, because of its limited nature...

  • @iannGT2 Also, think of it. They aren't really interested in doing this I think, so they wanted to do it cheap (and really, they could have done a better job than changing the front and back. They could have used the iQ platform and design a new car around it, maybe fiddle with the suspension, put in a better engine/turbo charger). Working with Toyota also means the car is going to be reliable, which is a good thing.

  • It's the right thing for AM to do. Small car but full of Luxury. It's a new niche....if we want V8s and V12 AMs, then we have to go along with these small AMs...

  • clear evidence that drugs are dangerous. What sort of person (stoned and insane) will pass by DB9, DBS, V8 Vantage and get excited by Toyota IQ?

  • @martij75 hahahaha! epic!

  • Brilliant! That car has CLASS !!!!!!

  • Boring commercial trying too hard.

  • It looks like an egg!!

  • It was very cute. like mini sport. but one thing for a branded super car company, they should not release this car.

    if for collection by limited edition with limited quantity then this is different story. ;-)

  • @andersenchong they actually are going to be limited ownership, limited to owners of new Astons, however they will undoubtedly open them up to the general public in a few years.

  • They should have called it the Aston Martin RUNT instead. Only then would I look directly at it.

  • DBS, DB9, Vantage, One-77?

    No, I want a Cygnet. mmmmm.....I think not.

  • Who in their right mind would go to all that trouble, and run past the entire Aston Martin range just to get to that cynical abortion of a car?

  • very bad........

  • this clip it is for teenagers insted of real aston martin customers

  • Strange! :S

  • IQ? :)

  • Yes, it's a rebodied one

  • duh...because its small it doest mean its like free runners omg

  • worst teaser I've ever seen

  • The Cygnet is just a thing to lower Aston Martin overall emission thingy, no one likes it, no one would like one, this thing is here just to keep the emission people and environMENTAList happy

    being an Aston fan, I have to say this is a smart move, but my god this thing looks ugly

  • what is the song?

    shame on you aston...

  • dats a fail cuz im 13 and i can do everything cept the wall-hand-flip thingy

  • FAIL

  • HaHaHa this is a great joke.... oh its not...hm...

  • Many cars websites reported that is going to be built in a limited series numbers, which will make that car a pure collector car. I cant understand how people are finding this car ugly. It looks fantastic.

    PLUS, since 2008, we are entering into the great world of mini-exotics/sport cars, with the Fiat 695 Tributo to Ferrari, Toyota iQ by Gazoo Racing, the Aston Cygnet, the Smart Brabus Ultimate 112, etc.. And that is just fantastic

  • its not a mini

  • wow wtf was am thinking lol

  • 3 things that should never have happened:

    - MB creating the A class,

    - Porsche creating it's fatass Touareg-y thing,

    - Aston Martin cloning the fortwo

    (it's just wrong, you know...)

  • free tru one? he cant conut WTF

  • wooooow my nan's ford orion would own this car

  • Hmm......i'de buy the aston's at 1:00...

    That's about it

  • Oh dear, they even forgot to grade the shot at 0:12

  • I bought one the other day , they are amazing!!

  • worst car ever

  • are u serious, they ran all that fucking way to see that shitty little smart car wanna be !

    they should've stopped at the real astons !

  • They should have stopped running at 1:00 !!!

    (and to answer the stupid spam email question, that brought me here.... NO, i would not buy that lump of crap! Cygnet = fail)

  • omfg gayest car ever!

  • this could be named "aston martin fail"

  • Cool movie!

    Cool 'AND' Aston Martin, wouldn't be your only or first one. Very cool and convenient little beauty in town as long as it'll be a limited edition!

    I'd love one for town use!

  • consider buying a mazda 2 :|

  • fucking fail

  • I think they should of sold it to Toyota or Nissan. The last thing we need is every dickhead driving one because it has the AM badge.

    And if you do buy one I know you will be laughed at.

  • @PARSNBY It's based on the Toyota iQ

  • @PARSNBY

    Actually, Aston Martin bought it FROM Toyota, as it is fully based on the iQ.

  • I Could see AM selling millions on these cars as everyone would want it just because it has the Aston Martin badge on it. You will see try hard people buying them and it would be the end for me loving AM if they bring it out because I know AM as one of the best (if not THE best) car company's in the world making the best looking cars as well.

    Bringing out this car would put AM in a lower league like Chev were they have cars for everyone and you see them everywhere

  • Think of it this way. A toyota iQ or an Aston martin? It's all about the badge and that's the genius behind it

  • it looks like a radiator/washing machine/car lol

  • cool car :D

  • WEAK!!!!!!!!!!!

    SAUCE!!!!!!!!!!

  • wow another piece of crap car

  • i would've went for the other aston martins... not that one

  • That car was made to be crashed by a semi-truck...

  • Preety cute for a woman ; )

  • ahahha that's cool

  • astons are my life.. and i dream owning one.. but definately not THIS thing.. it s like airbus went manufacturing cessnas... damn man.. if this and the suv will go in production, i ll switch on lamborghini..

  • i bet it smoke any hondas!

  • Is this a joke?

  • First time i heard of this, I guess it's legit. *sigh*

  • jejeje What the fuck and maybe it cost alot just because of the name

  • noooo thats gay stay heavy stay fast beastlike

  • I was sent a message asking what i thought about the car, i honestly think... IT'S TOTALLY PATHETIC!

    Wtf! Aston martin is all about super heavy, super thirsty super big V12 engines....

    There's not even any inbetween at all, it just goes from epic GT cars to shit ass econobox.

  • @Lewis120993 yeah.. and i bet it has a 4 cyl 1.4 litre engine, like my dacia has:)) the boss of aston martin has lost its head... this class of cars is meant to be small, VERY cheap and with low fuel consumption.. and i can also bet it won t be cheap at all.. it s an aston after all

  • @tudorgui1992 Indeed, it's just an outrage, completely bloody stupid.. Whoever's brainchild this was should be instantly fired and executed.

  • Its a joke RIGHT!!???

    no seriously ?

    I MEAN IT"S A JOKE RIGHT ??

    just because the economy is going bad doesn't mean that Lamborghini is going to make a 4-cylinder eco friendly car !!!

  • Looks like those cheap Chinese toy cars that kids drive.

  • HAHAH LLOOOLLL

  • haha true. maybe it comes with a bib lmao

  • prolly made for european crowded streets,not intended for US

  • THAT IS THE WORST CAR I'V EVER SEEN

  • The FUCK is that?

    PLEASE,  remove the Aston Martin logo from that shit!

  • Damn that thing is ugly ! A smart car can look better than that!

  • I'm sorry, but that car is just ugly. Plain and simple. Those wheels? They gook god-awful.

  • I SWEaR TO GOD IF JAMES BOND EVER DRIVES THAT CAR IM GONNA FREAK OUT

  • Aston Martin Vanquish? Nice. Aston Martin DB9? Nice. Aston Martin Smart-car looking job? Ehh....

  • cool vid, shit car. Aston Martin just gave a bad name for itself

  • the car looks kinda cool id buy a aston martin hatchback over any other any day

  • It's a Smart ?

  • it's a Toyota iQ which Aston Martin has bought the rights to, so-to-speak. the car itself is produced by Toyota, but Aston Martin will probably do the inside, trimming, grille, lights ans stuff.

  • the car is outstanding

  • Not what I consider as an Aston Martin.

  • Its crap aint it

  • cool vid

  • That is so gay.

    Not cool. NOT cool.

  • lmao...so so so gay...so so so not cool....

  • is it faster than a zr1 corvette. i don't think so.

  • looks like a Smart with Aston Martin logos on it

  • its a iq

  • It's like a cross between a Yaris and an A-Class. I'll take the DB9 anyday.

  • its a iq

  • put the V12 engine in it and it should go like the clappers. :P

  • 5 stars for u uploading it! but i do nt want to believe that its a aston martin!

  • WTF????

  • they copied the toyota iQ

  • fun sized, at the price of king sized. lol

  • AM shouldn´t be doing this type of cars, never.

    If AM wants to enter into a new segment, they should do it with an eco but still sporty car... they should do their own version of the iconic/super popular e30 M3. Lightweight, high powered 4 cylinder turbo engine, cheap, and as good in handling as a Lotus.

  • fuuuuuck that id rather have the db9

  • this is bullshit

  • cute little car i like it.

  • Thanks for the advertising,you get 3 stars.

  • Wtf man, that looks like  fucking smart car.

  • No...

  • prob the smallest car ever made by Aston Martin.

  • WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?! THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT AN ASTON SHOULD BE!!! IS THIS THING EXPENSIVE? I MEAN IT'S KIND OF COOL BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT OUT OF ASTON. MAAAAAAAAN my friend is going to be depressed! HE is an Aston junkie.... he always said he loves the looks of an aston but i don't know if this is what he meant!

  • Your friend sounds like a fag.

  • Fucking stupid spam

  • WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT. and thanks for the spam email

  • Since you felt the need to spam me too, I am NOT going to buy the Cygnet! AHA! Take THAT you freeloading media companies hired by bigger companies to do "urban marketing". (Like I was ever going to buy that damn thing anyways)

  • its a smart. or this mini toyota

  • yeah i got the spam...its getting out of control!

  • Anyone else get this faggoty bullshit spammed to their inbox? I didn't think Aston Martin would stoop so fucking low...I guess the economy is pretty damn bad.

  • yes, actually i did.. i dont know the person, not a subscribed but still ending up getting emailed it. Dunno the person

  • speechless!

  • Good work !!! 5 stars

  • if there are rare shits like IQ's then it ...sux

  • A disgrace to the name and everything Aston Martin stood for :( I hope it will not be build - sad days in the car world these days...SAAB gone, this, etc...

  • Yeah. Saabs gone.

    Next is Opel.

    GM made Saab into an american product, and that will never ever sell anywhere outside USA.

    Why, because it's crap.

    Opel stood it's ground well but they are next to become quickymart quality car.

    Aston Martin is the dogs bollox though!

  • @McDiezel saab sold better in europe than in the US...

  • Yes, but not enough.

    Sales dropped as the products got aged and not replaced.

    More and more cheap plastics where put in and the result is that Saab is nomore.

  • uhm pretty car

  • Me and the homies are always finding shit to backflip off of, lol. Cool Aston.

  • yay, lets go after a cygnet instead of a DB9 or a One-77!! this was stupid

  • Are Aston actually going to make this car, or has someone stuck some Aston Martin badges on their iQ?

  • Yes it is been made and will sell for £30,000 and will only be offered to owners of Aston Martin already for the time being. Plus yes it is built upon the iQ

  • LOL, for that much effort they should have gotten at least a DB9. This is like finding a pot of plastic at the end of the rainbow.

    Aston badge or not, I wouldn't be caught dead in that thing.

  • An IQ with mini aston lights, lol.
