Aston Martin reveals the Cygnet city-car concept

Today we're getting a first peek at the curious pairing of Aston Martin and Toyota with the release of official pictures of the Aston Martin Cygnet concept.

The car is being billed as a luxury commuter ride for urban areas. It's a Toyota iQ with a restyled front end with Aston Martin's styling cues.

No one will mistake this thing for a Vantage, but Aston Martin says development will continue on the Cygnet into next year, when it could become a reality for sale in the U.K. and other European markets.

The car could be offered to current Aston Martin owners as a second or third car. Look for the mechanicals to remain the same as those of the Toyota iQ.
