iQ and Cygnet, watch your backs!
The four-seater sports a contemporay profile. Its roof is almost entirely made of glass, and inside, a heady mix of carbon fiber and leather complements luxuriant green and yellow tartan seats, the brand’s livery.

You can’t help but compare the City Car to the Toyota/Scion iQ as well as the Cygnet, Aston Martin’s premium, and bizarre, motorized Liliputian. Unlike the latter, however, being a demonstration prototype the City Car would likely be built under a different banner. Unless with this new direction Lotus has also chosen to launch its creation via a massive network of dealers – which, personnally, would come as an incredible surprise.
