I don't see it as a joke. Right now consumers treat small cars as stripped down death boxes. If they can see more offering of "luxury" small cars it might help turn the tide a bit. The new mini cooper helped, this might help also.

It's just particularly odd that an exotic brand do this. I can see BMW, Mercedes, ect... doing it, but Aston Martin's current lineup ranges from $118,000 - $266,000. So to suddenly offer a micro-car less useful than a Yaris is just way out of whack.

True, lol. It would be like Mercedes pimping out a Aveo or something I guess. But still I'm excited even though I probably won't be able to afford one. I had to get a 72month loan just to get mine.
