Chrome Aston Marin Cygnet Is a Rare Bird

Hello sir, do you have a moment to talk about our defunct city car, the Toyo… errr Aston Martin Cygnet?

Yes, the Aston Martin Cygnet has been canceled, with just 150 having been sold so far. Is it a shame? Not really, the real shame is is that we're being forced to drive econoboxes in congested cities.

But since we know there are only ever going to be 150 of them in the world, we can tell you that this is probably the only chrome one out there. A chrome baby swan (that's what cygnet means, a baby swan), now that's just strange.

With the bonnet sloping like that and covered in black vinyl, it looks more like a van with an engine warmer, doesn't it!

This crazy little car was just filmed in London, sitting there demanding attention, as if it were screaming "look at me, I'm a rare little bird".

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
