Aston Martin Targets Eccentrics with Bizarre Cygnet Options?

 Aston Martin Targets Eccentrics with Bizarre Cygnet Options?
Aston Martin Cygnet wacky wallpapers 17.03.2010

Aston Martin looks to be offering unusual paint jobs with odd graphics on the upcoming Cygnet.  Images, taken from the English automaker's website, show the car in various animal prints.

In each photo, the rear is covered up a bit.  The odd paint scheme could also be interpreted as an attempt to keep final design details camouflaged for the time being.

Still, a spokesman for the company told Auto Express, "Because the Cygnet is finished by hand, and not mass produced, in no other car in this segment can you exercise such a degree of personalisation."  This means the car could get an "unlimited palette," like that featured on the Bentley Mulsanne.

Based on the Toyota IQ, the Aston Martin Cygnet small city car is expected to be sold only to current owners of an Aston Martin vehicle.  Only one engine will be on offer for the car when it comes to market.  It is meant to be a daily driver for those who do not want to rack up miles on their Vantage.

i agree with moodyaaa. i was supportive of the cygnet for the company to get by the emissions quota so that their regular cars don't get hit. but putting animal prints paintjob/vinyl is a little absurd. if they really want to impress these exclusive clienteles, it should be collaborations with fashion designers, interior designers, or artists for strict limited editions.

I would rather have a Smart Car. At least it's not trying to be something it's not. This is simply for people with more MONEY than SENSE.

Looks like camouflage so that you do not see how ridiculous the car is. They even have to include women in foreground sothat your eyes do not stay to long on the stripped thing in the back.
