Automotive: Aston on the bonnet, Toyota underneath.
If your Aston Martin Vantage is too fuel-thirsty for that trip to the shops, or the school run when it never warms up, or if it's too big to thread through the city or those ever-closer pillars in car parks, there's a solution.

For Aston Martin have announced a deal to modify the iQ, and sell their modified versions only to existing Aston customers.
