Default Aston Martin's Cygnet (iQ)

/AutoLuxHD#p/u/18/rJS71hQJ3sI
Here's a video of an automotive enthusiast in the UK closely inspecting Aston Martin's new city car, the Cygnet or as we all know it to be, the iQ. Figured I'd post this to get a first person view of what Aston Martin did to the iQ through a video and not rendered images.

That's the iQ. I remember they mentioned something about that car on Top Gear. The reason why Aston Martin had to get that car is because if Aston Martin doesn't want to get fined they have to balance out the amount of cars they produce with high emissions with the amount of cars they produce with low emissions (something to do with the environment) or else they would get fined by the British government. So, to resolve that matter, they bought the iQ blueprint from Toyota and rebadged the car.

Don't quote me on this though, this is just what I vaguely remember from Top Gear.
