I think this Aston Martin looks awesome! Way much better than the porsche panamera!

The only possible contender would be the Lamborghini Estoque!

No offence to Maserati Quattroporte, Maybach 62, RollsRoyce Phantom, Bentley Continental Flying Spur, BMW 7-Series or any other super luxury sedan/limo, I just love the CLS, especially the new CLS63 AMG.

Very nice.

But something has to be done to the rear sitting compartment. Such narrow interior space will leave passengers feeling more like sitting in a long minivan than a luxury 4 seater.

The car should be wider by at least 3 inches. And the rear…. i don;t there’s any head room.

Fix it, launch it and have a good 2 man show with Panamera.

Pure luxury, interior and exterior, with a 6.0 V12 engine…….

Way better than the Panamera, but at some point, CLS will be the overall winner. Maybe because I love CLS so much, haha~

Paul, thank you for posting about Aston Martin Rapide, really thank you!!!!

Absolutely gorgeous………..until I looked into the interior…..YUCK!!! Ugly colour scheme, it shud hv a bit darker theme, just like the exterior. Other than that, no other complaint, this is simply astonishing!!

Not only its beautiful on the outside, but on the inside it looks so inviting indeed. A true double-0seven car it is.

Before this is Porshe now Aston. This one is damn nice. sleek design. After Merc CLS now all have the 4 door coupe.

Looks good as all Aston would. But it doesn’t have the stout muscular stance of the S-class or the 7 series hence making it more like another niche. Further it only seat 4 which makes u wonder it is a driver’s car or a chaffeured car?

Hey Paul, when is this car due to be on sale? Not like i would buy one but it would be nice to know…

Aston Martins are always stunning and sexy.

Loved the RAPIDE wholeheartedly.

Would definitely get this Little Thing over a Ferrari if I have the cash for it.

Cheers!

Paul, gimme a shout out if you want exclusive (unpublished anywhere else) pics of the rapide, which I took during last year’s British Motorshow. They are probably not the best, but I’m not a professional photographer am I?

I’ve seen this car in the flesh. I’ll buy ten of them, give them away to anyone who wants one, and buy ten more, if I am that rich. Absolutely awesome!

Now this is sporty elegance, this is what a 4-door coupe should look like! Shame on the CLS and Panamera’s designers ahha! We have a winner here!

i’ll take this four door coupe anytime.

but not so sure about that wine and glasses compartment though.

i got 4 kids and i’m sure that glasses are gone when they bump into each other at the back

ps- keeping it very ENGLISH? why don’t Aston Martin fit it with tea bags, sugar, and creamer? hahahahahahaahahaahaah

Wow! This Aston Martin is elegant and sporty as always…. Funny that the boot seems to be designed to carry just the chessboards and wine accessories. So i guess the buyers can only do a wine ‘picnic’ by a nice lake but the lady boss can’t go shopping with it huh?

The Ikea style birch wood panelling is very tastefully done unlike the usual ah pek wood panelling found in many cars these days. I hope they use real wood instead of plastic ‘wood’.

But have anyone noticed? Where is the GEAR STICK? Or is it F1 style pedals hiding behind the steering wheel?

Basically a stretched DB9, given an extra pair of doors. Still better looking than most cars, mind you.

whoa! super sweet..semi bucket for even rear passengers..
btw, the headlights looks like its just taken a few styling cues from the headlights of the BMW 5-series..

looks like a stretched aston. not really an integrated design but then, design is subjective. not my choice though. the panamera is still too covered up to decide whether it looks good or not but i’m guessing that the long roofline and stumpy rear section is designed to give more rear passenger headroom. something that porsche discovered was problem in the cls.

“But heard that Ford Group had sold the Aston Martin and only remain the share hold 15%.. is it correct??”

if you actually read Paul’s article, you will know that the number you’re talking about is nearer to 8%, scroll up and you will see it.

Haven’t you guys heard of the Mercedes CLS aka flying banana? it’s described by mercedes as a “4 DOOR” coupe.

I will choose Aston Martin more than the new 4 doors Porsche.
Outlook and shape does matter to me!
