Ridiculous. Are they actually hoping to sell this thing? Surely everyone can see it's a Toyota iQ with a big grille painted on the front and an enormous price tag?
And if the Top Gear reasoning behind why this exists is true (which is this EU regulation covering per-manufacturer average CO2 emissions) then I have no idea how they intend to sell as many of them as they need to in order to offset all the DB9s and so on if they've priced it that high. Surely they need to sell at least a certain number - which would suggest that upping the price to ridiculous levels isn't a good idea...
people will buy it....however I wonder what the directors at AM were thinking when they decided to bring this out for $55K...its almost beyond belief !
theyre gonna market it as a premium product. they will sell some but it wont be on a massive scale
you can live in a car but cant race a house

if you can by an anything they say on top gear as actual information
when they where talking about it a few eps ago they released so they had an "economic model" in the line up
with no anticipation of selling them
