Saw on today in the flesh for the first time on the M40 going into London. It was this exact one actually...
I'm a bit biased as it's just a posher version of my car but it looked really good. Wasn't so keen on the gold but in another colour it would be even better.

I saw LY Clio on the A4 between Reading and Maidenhead about 45 minutes ago. I thought it might have been you.

I don't mind them.
Something posted on Pistonheads the other day changed my mind about them - the type of people buying them will probably spend £30k on a watch, so think nothing of having a car like this. Seems like pretty clever marketing tbh.

Aston Martins aren't expensive enough for people with 30k watches surely?

Unlikely, unless you also owned a Cygnet. Then you really do have stupid money to throw around.

If you went to Gaydon a couple of weeks ago you'd have seen a lorry full of Toyotas turn up, then a few days later the car park began Cygnets

Wouldn't mind seeing the figures but I would imagine that this won't really affect the fleet average for the brand. Certainly won't get it below the target figures of 120/130/140g per km when you consider the volumes of that car against the others that they sell.
Not sure who is more stupid, the people who will buy one or the one track scientists who came up with climate change poppycock in the first place.

i'd say the people who run the european union and make up these god awful rules are stupid-er.
