    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

    Following Rolls and Bentley to the mainland...
    "The Rapide is built in a new state-of–the-art 23,000 sq. metre manufacturing facility in Graz, Austria."
    Bespoke Austrian coachbuilding brought to you by Dr. Ulrich Bez?

    I'd love to see the Rapide next to a DB9, I wonder what is under its long bonnet.

    It is interesting to watch the same problem attacked by different people. Porsche and Aston-Martin both wanted a 4-door sports car. The designs couldn't be more different. Sure, the basics are there: power, 4 doors, seating for 4, etc. However, the execution is vastly different.

    Well done, Aston.
