Sure, you won\u2019t get an Aston Martin badge (but feel free to pry one off the car of a Wall Street hedge fund manager) and you won\u2019t be able to check the box for  \u201cbaby whale penis leather\u201d, but you\u2019ll save yourself around $45,000, plus the cost of buying an Aston Martin to qualify for buying a Cygnet.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/2011-scion-iq-an-aston-martin-cygnet-with-a-45000-rebate\/500x_iq_trunk_ds_down\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-42170\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/500x_iq_trunk_ds_down.jpg\" alt=\"2011 Scion iQ\" title=\"500x_iq_trunk_ds_down\" width=\"500\" height=\"315\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-42170\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Toyota bills the iQ as the \u201cworld\u2019s smallest four passenger vehicle\u201d.

Since American\u2019s don\u2019t equate cars the size of a dishwasher with safety, Toyota is quick to point out that the Scion iQ has 10 airbags.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/IXpM_jxl3ZLpCe40sAib_byCQUE\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/IXpM_jxl3ZLpCe40sAib_byCQUE\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/IXpM_jxl3ZLpCe40sAib_byCQUE\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/IXpM_jxl3ZLpCe40sAib_byCQUE\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Share Like the Smart Fortwo, but need a backseat to haul around your teacup poodle?
