It looks like something Mini-Me would roll in. Is there another reason that Aston might make something like this? Are they under any mandates to meet average MPGs for the cars they produce?

With the US's EPA system soon coming into effect, manufacturers now to meet the average of 35 MPG across the line. While car makers like Ferrari (part of Fiat) and Lamborghini (part of Audi which is part of VW) are going to be fine since the parent company's also count, Aston Martin is now privately owned, making this an issue for them in the US.
