Aston Martin Drops Cygnet City Car From Product Line To Focus On Sports Cars

The Aston Martin Cygnet has been dropped from the company's product line.

An Aston Martin spokesman told Autocar the company has no current plans to re-enter the supermini or city car segments, instead saying Aston Martin would focus on its core product range of sports cars.

Believed by many to be the justification for Aston Martin to continue developing V8 and V12-powered sports cars, the low CO2 emissions of the Cygnet - 120g/km - allowed Aston to lower its average CO2 emissions across its product range.

About time. It's effectively a slower, more expensive version of the Ford Fiesta. I can't believe Aston went after this kind of thing in the first place.

I guess like the article says it was just for emissions regulation BS. Meh. Hopefully they just improve the tech in their sports cars.
