Indeed. And two are better than one.

Pretty, but I do wonder if this version will finally iron out the transaxle kinks that I find plague every Aston. Shift feel is not worthy of the chassis refinement. Everyone says that is not true of the stick and auto DBS, but I have not driven one yet.

The Dutch press is very positive about the new Rapide.

They also mention the Rapide is, unlike the Panamera, more sportscar than a Gran Turismo.

Astons are just gorgeous, and this is no exception.

My father thought about swapping his db9 for the rapide, but the economic downturn spoiled that for now.

I wonder how the seats are: with those big gaps in the middle

A lot of journos are complaining about the lack of headroom for the second row seats...honestly, is that so important?
At the same time they keep complaining about the lack of legroom on 911s' back seats, or high fuel consumption of Ferraris, or the price of a Spyker and so on...

is it so difficult to understand a car?
let alone if it's your job and you're paid for it...

This could be the only sedan I could consider instead of a Quattroporte, can't wait to see it in the flesh.
