    Straight side on this still looks terrible. I believe Clarkson once described the Chrysler Crossfire as looking like a dog parking its breakfast. This kind of has the same effect, though not as harsh as the Panamera.

    You only have to swing the viewing angle a few degrees in either direction though to find your jaw on the floor looking at this thing.

    Three quarter rear view is really an exercise in how to make a 4 door car absolutely beautiful. #2010astonmartinrapide

    Aston is moving too slowly. By this time they should have already released a sports activity coupe.

    Funny that everyone's talking about this and the Panamera. That's for folks with a "budget" who are concerned about depreciation and the engineering quality of their daily driver.

    This, rather, is for those who cross-shop the Bentley. #2010astonmartinrapide

    A few years ago, Peter Brock (of Cobra Daytona coupe fame) suggested in one of the big Corvette magazines that GM should commission an LSX-powered prototype. Of course they're bankrupt, etc.... #lemansracing

    @theeastbaykid: Why bother when the Corvette team is crushing Ferraris and Porsches comfortably in the GT class? There's nothing GM can gain from beating Aston Martins, Audis, and Peugeot.

    Unless Cadillac were to go racing again... #lemansracing

    @Pessimippopotamus: Actually, what is the latest with the GT classes? In ALMS, Corvette Racing was running essentially unopposed in GT1 (the 911s and F430s were in GT2), but I seem to remember that was going to change for 2010. I'd love to see the Corvette move down into GT2 and face real competition. Internationally, I have no idea where the Corvette fits in/stacks up. I know they've lost to Aston in recent years at Le Mans in GT1, but I've got no knowledge of other overseas GT racing. #lemansracing

    @theeastbaykid: Customer cars in FIA GT races do pretty well, actually. A GT1 C6.R often in podium position.

    In ALMS, they were running quite literally unopposed. At Le Mans, Corvettes and the DBR9s were neck and neck. Actually that made me sad to see GT1 class go. The last two years have been extremely exciting to watch.

    Even in GT2, they're massively potent, from what I saw during the Laguna Seca race. #lemansracing

    I got to fall asleep at to the sound of that V10 engine at LeMans this year. It has the most beautiful note of any engine I have ever heard. It beats out V12 F1 cars, big blocks, bikes, and any Italian stallion, bull, or other animal. Pure noise. No distortion, no roughness, no hint of misfire. It was the music of the gods. #lemansracing
