That's what I thought.

I thought they gave these away with purchase or something so that the high MPG numbers would offset the low MPG numbers in the Aston.

A lot of my friends are Ferrari fans (and they are awesome cars), but I think the Aston's a much classier and more sexy looking car.

Oh, but the Cygnet looks like crap. Looks like a rebadged Smart Car...

It's not Bond's fault AM's trying to be more 'green'.

Then again, there was that AMC Hornet:

Among other cars, so...

So it's not out of the question he *might* drive it...
