More spypcis on the Aston Martin Rapide 1st of Feb from Car and Driver












http://www.caranddriver.com/carnews/...in-rapide.html

"What we do see, however, are what appear to be the same gorgeous 20-inch wheels found on the new DBS, a hatch-style tailgate, and some absolutely flawless proportions bound to make the upcoming Porsche Panamera look like a rolling cucumber by comparison."

I can't understand for the life of me why Porsche and Aston Martin entered the four door game. The panamera and this rapide just don't look appealing to me.

Agreed... looks like some custom shop just stretched a DB9 and added a couple doors. I'm not so sure of this whole coupe-proportioned sedan thing.

Car actually looks really nice...Pretty long though since I'm just use to seeing the coupes. But this is not bad at all.
