I made a mistake while “designing” this car...

I’m always keen to check out the cars of the future, so when I hear about a new car being released I’m usually straight on Google searching for an image of the new car.

I think I even prefer the Toyota iQ to this thing they’ve called an Aston Martin. I think Aston Martin wi...
