Toyota Aygo: Much-improved new Toyota city car leads where Citroen and Peugeot will follow

摘要

HERE'S THE FIRST of the three: the new Aygo, Toyota's city car from the triumvirate produced in a joint venture between it, Citroen (C1) and Peugeot (108). It has been such a successful venture - more than two million of the trio have found homes since 2005 - that continuing the collaboration was a straightforward call. This time, there are bigger visual differences on the outside. The Toyota is the most distinctive, with its bold cross going on at the front. Toyota doesn't mind if its weirdness puts buyers off. The idea is that others will be too bowled over to buy anything else. It's a chance worth taking if it adds character, Toyota thinks. The company talks a lot about character, showing a distinct understanding of where the market has moved in the past nine years.
