A Rivian that was rebadged and re-sculpted as a Mercedes truck would actually be really cool.

Oh, the Scout!

Not to be confused with International.

Maybe it's a bit like the Aston Signet, where when it launched, it was sort of laughed at and ignored.

And maybe it was overpriced as well.

And now, two, three, four years down the line, suddenly the second-hand market cottons on and goes, well, hang on a minute, that's a bit cool.

50.

I know it's a bit of fun, but it is just a Toyota IQ.

Yeah, but I think for Aston people that it's going to be like the PLP50 in the collection, where it's like... Oh, do you think?

OK, yeah.

Yeah, so if you're collecting cars... Bubble cars have risen in price...

exponentially and it isn't because people want to drive them i'm pretty sure as a previous bubble car owner i can attest um driving one in the late 90s was terrifying driving one today when there's even bigger faster um more distracted drivers about i would not want to risk that in anything other than a village um

But I think the collectability, I think it's all about the collectability.

And every time someone mentions an Aston Signet, I always think of a dodgy little ring on the pinky finger, which perhaps has a family crest on it, or maybe a slightly murky past of where the money was obtained from.

Okay.

Gosh, £1,000 for an IQ.

Yeah.

But come on now.

You think about it.

Now with laser cutting and 3D printing and all the other things, you could create an Aston Signet clone with not a lot of money.
