Article in there is a great bit of marketing for the car, even if it is about young women zipping around drinking champagne in Paris
It's certainly growing on me too. I have never owned a car smaller than an Audi S4, and I have always been against small cars / city cars as a whole, on the basis that they are made JUST to be small and cute.

But my daily driver is an Audi A8, and while I will keep driving that on most days even after I have taken delivery on the Cygnet, when I am running quick errands in the city and spend a good amount of my day looking for a parking space it will fit in (Sweden hates a big car), it gets old really fast. And my alternative up until now has been to use public transport, a cab or settle for some little Japanese plastic bucket. Why do I have to sacrifice a "nice" car just becuase I want something smaller?

I think this car is absolutely brilliant, and my white Cygnet will serve me perfectly as a 4th car.

Yea that's fair enough. Think I said the opposite to you in a previous post but my opinion has changed. Quite looking forward to seeing them out and about. Plus who will really know the base is an IQ anyways.

It's nearly twice the size of the Cygnet! And, I think it's pretty ugly. I would much rather have a Golf GTi in that class.

(Aren't you the ME ambassador for AM? Why are you trying to talk me out of it? hahaha)

I think the iQ heritage is a positive, even though people refer to the Toyota as a dishwasher They took something reliable and made it beautiful by hand.

I like the Cygnet, I just wanted to get an idea of how big the parking space is.

Well, I know that Toyotas are "reliable" but I still from on the Toyota base because I have a thing about Toyotas. Just don't like em. Them, Hondas, and Lexuses.
