The more you understand about any subject, the more interesting it becomes. As you read this article you'll find that the subject of Aston Martin is certainly no exception.




"Now is the right time for the Aston Martin to these courageous first step to embark on this particular project - made possible with support from an organization of Toyota's stature and ability, intelligent design is the perfect city car and the package of iQ. Much work is still needed, but I am convinced that this project could be reality in the not too distant future. This concept - similar to an exclusive offer for a luxury yacht - will enable us to apply Aston Martin design language, craftsmanship and brand values to a whole new segment of the market, "says Aston Martin Chief Executive, Dr Ulrich Bez.

It's really a good idea to probe a little deeper into the subject of Aston Martin. What you learn may give you the confidence you need to venture into new areas.

I think the whole idea is that Aston Martin drivers for the purchase of a cygnet and use it for short commutes, maybe the Aston Martin for longer trips that call for a GT car, or in the weekend drive on the golf course, this kind things. Well, that's the official story that they feed us. An alternative would be that Aston Martin is trying for its overall average CO2 emissions assessments to meet the CO2-laws for the fleet of cars on sale. A low emission iQ would be the higher total score of the more powerful sports cars. Maybe we'll all get used to it later but for now I think Aston Martin design cues to a Toyota iQ looks ridiculous.

"The provision of a cygnet with a DBS, DB9 or Vantage is a unique combination of contradictions and a new transport solution that intelligent and sensitive mobility in an exclusive and innovative levels," Dr Ulrich Bez added.

Of course, it's impossible to put everything about Aston Martin into just one article. But you can't deny that you've just added to your understanding about Aston Martin, and that's time well spent.
