No, it's Aygo. . . and it's a killer entry level cheap car. Solidly built, with cost cutting in all the right areas. It is an extremely well built car.

Is the Aygo coming to the US? Seems like it would make good competition for the new smart cars that are coming.

I don't think we'll EVER see smarts here...

It's a real shame, too. The smarts NEED a huge market like the US to survive. It's like they are hoping smart will fail.

Ok, why would you buy the Aygo over the Citroen? If it's the same car underneath? Especially if the Citroen is 500 Pounds cheaper? Why is the Toyota the car of the year instead of the Citroen? I don't get it.

Simple. . . the Aygo looks better, by a large margin. . . which says a lot.
