Aston Martin has confirmed that the Cygnet will see production in 2011 and will be built at Aston Martin’s Gaydon headquarters. Aston Martin intends to position the Cygnet as a “luxury city car” and I for one am all for it! B-segment cars have done well here since Scion busted the doors open on that market a few years back but for the most part they’ve been positioned as economical albeit whimsical alternatives to gas guzzlers. I think it s refreshing to see Aston Martin take that segment into a new direction without letting the fear of brand dilution get in the way. Besides, even though there is no official word on MSRP I doubt the Cygnet will be cheap. So far there isn’t any word about seeing the Cygnet in the states but I sure hope so! I’d rock it..
