Cygnet sales don't match up to Aston Martin's hopes

Aston Martin has conceded that the sales of its new city car, the Cygnet, have not met with their expectations, but the company blames the time taken to build the car is the problem.

The car, a £31,000 reworking of the Toyota IQ, went on sale earlier this year. However company chairman Ulrich Bez said that customer impatience had hit sales.
