The Aston Martin Cygnet, the British luxury brand's take on the Toyota iQ, is almost ready to go on sale, and the ultra-lux city car will start £30,995, or about $50,000 USD.

Using the 1.3L Toyota engine and a 6-speed manual or CVT gearbox, the iQ's 11 second 0-60 sprint is decidedly not Aston-like in its performance, but the city car represents a new market for Aston, as well as a way to get around average fuel economy regulations such as America's CAFE standards.

Nice, so now we can pay more for a re-badged Scion iQ. Who wants to pay extra.
Aston Martin is a well known name and all, but to justify paying more (obviously) for this over the iQ, the Cygnet will need a sufficient amount accessories.
