Aston Martin Cygnet

I know why Aston have produced the Cygnet, helps with company's overall mpg and co2 figures, but still £35 thousand pounds for a £12500 Toyota IQ ?

Apparently there are Aston owners out there who are willing to fork out this kind of money to have matching Aston's in the garage.  The styling is basically the same, as is the engine.  So what you end up paying for is a leather interior with different dials, a nice paint job, and a few Aston badges.  I'm sorry I just couldn't could you?

It seems Rolls Royce may go the same way with the Mini, Fiat have had a go with a Ferrari badged 500.  So what will we have next, a Lamborghini badged Polo ?

And the eternal question, why can you do a 450 mile round trip with no problems yet take the dog to the park and you get a puncture which ruins a fairly new tyre ?

Also the Apollo Motors fiasco continues. The Toyota Celica with the juddery clutch.  It has had a new clutch, a new flywheel, and is now worse than ever.  Toyota say it needs a new clutch and the replacement must be faulty.  Apollo Motors want to fix it.  I think this may be their last chance before the keys get handed back.
