    Hello everyone,
    I want to sell my lovely Aston Martin Cygnet.

    The production time of Aston Martin Cygnet was between ~5/2011 and ~9/2013.
    In September 2013 Aston Martin decided to stop the production of the Cygnets because of too low sales numbers.
    So instead of 4.000 intended sales per year, AM produced just 786 cars during the whole production. (272 RHD + 514 LHD / 170 manuals + 616 CVT).
    Rare oppurtunity to find a Cygnet "Black Launch Edition" with that elegant specification.

    Here are some informations about it:

    It's a Toyota/Scion iQ with a facelift. Designed to game the euro emissions for the AM brand. I heard that for a while, people who bought a new real Aston got one of these free. That could just be an urban legend :)

    Correct basis is Toyota iQ. I doubt it was ever for free! :D

    I must say the interior is phenomenal built. Without doubt the most exclusiv interior you can find in such a category of car!

    interesting to see that a cygnet is worth the cost of a VQ gen 1 non S in the USA...

    For $47K, a 18 year with a well heeled dad will ask for a new 2017 base corvette! not a cygnet. If you have teens, you would know.

    At the risk of being crude, I do believe I have just seen the Emperor's new clothes. ;)

    Cool car. The Cygnet definitely has cache even if it's just an IQ under the skin.

    I remember when these were new. The local Aston dealer was desperate to sell the things, they offered me a huge discount. Now, they are rare and quirky, so prices are higher now than when they were new :D

    Good luck with the sale.

    wow, didn't know there was such a thing.

    My first thought was "what a brand dilution, I hope they fired everyone in the chain of decision making on that thing".

    Then, after reading that perhaps it was done to game the mpg and/or emissions regs, I thought what an f'd up system if it made luxury/sports/GT car company make this little thing in an attempt to "comply" with the requirements.

    Odd all around. (and a bit sad)
