Well, considering I measure everything up to an Aston Martin, you may call me a carcist.

I personally think the styling of Porsche is getting old as well but their track performance makes them sexy.

Of course its all my opinion and i still wouldnt kick neither one out of bed.

That thing looks very very good. It looks like a strectched DB9, but yet looks good. Much Better than that nasty 4 door Porsche.

I'll reserve final judgment until I see it in person. Looks a little too looooooong for my tastes based on the vid.

2010 Aston Martin Rapide: Official rendering leaked



It’s been a few months since we’ve heard anything on the Aston Martin Rapide front, but the upcoming four-door coupe has landed itself back in the headlines. A lone image of what appears to be an official rendering of the Rapide has surfaced online, giving us our first look at the Porsche Panamera-rival.

According to CAR, this is the first official image of the Rapide from Aston Martin. As you can see, the production version is very similar to the concept car, but does swap out quad-air intakes for upper and lower grilles. The rear of the car is also rumored to be slightly tweaked, although we can’t discern that from the leaked image.

As reportedly recently, the Rapide will be the first ever Aston Martin built outside of the United Kingdom, thanks to a partnership up with Magna Steyr.

Given a strong interest in the Rapide, Aston Martin says it will build between 1000 and 2000 units per year, up from an original estimate of 500 or less. The car will be the second new model launched under Aston’s new ownership, following the DBS coupe.

Like Aston’s other models, the Rapide is built on the company’s VH (Vertical/Horizontal) architecture. Despite its sporty looks, it is roughly the size of a Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
