What was once an economical Toyota iQ is now a fuel-sipping Aston Martin (weird) with a lavish interior and a price tag that will make your heart skip a beat. We understand that vehicles like this work well in the congested, small-car-friendly cities of Europe, but it remains to be seen if microcars have a place here in the United States. The Smart ForTwo has proved to be a flop in the States, though we’ll chalk most of that up to its unimpressive fuel economy and downright awful driving dynamics
Crazy Rumor of the Day: Lamborghini Estoque to be built in China
Filed under: Concept Cars , Sedan , Performance , China , Lamborghini , Rumormill , Luxury Lamborghini Estoque – Click above for high-res image gallery Hold on to your lugnuts, kids, because here’s a rumor that’s so far out it practically qualifies as science fiction. Taken straight from Gasgoo.com, which has provided plenty of worthy news in the past, is this nugget: Lamborghini “will import its super luxury four-door sedan, Lamborghini Estoque to China for local production in 2012 with a price tag of around 4 million yuan ($589,000).” To be fair, it appears as though Gasgoo is just reporting on what’s being reported in other Chinese media. However, in case you haven’t been keeping up with the Estoque’s flirtations with production reality, first Lamborghini planned to make it after it was introduced two years ago, then the economic implosion supposedly killed it in early 2009 , but Lamborghini quickly said that wasn’t true , then this month company CEO Stephan Winkelmann hinted about how a third model would help the brand . To us, none of that means the 2008 Paris Motor Show traffic-stopper is going to be built at all.

Nürburgring Fetish Jumps the Shark on Aston Roadster [Rants]
Yes, the Nürburgring is cool. Yes, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster is cool. No, getting the Nürburgring embossed in leather on the center console of your V8 Vantage Roadster is not cool.
First Drive: 2010 Aston Martin V12 Vantage
Coming straight out of a two-hour stint in the Ferrari 458 Italia and jumping into just about anything else, you expect to be…underwhelmed. Not so with the Aston Martin V12 Vantage. Though it takes a very different route, the big-engined baby Aston is, in its own way, even better. Take Aston Martin’s “entry level” car, stuff a 6.0-liter…
