I thought I would never see one in person. It is much nicer in person and I loved pictures of it.

big huh!
wow one of the 4 they sold so far?
What is it? and what is in your sideview mirror?
aston martin rapide. much better looking than the Panamera
Yea, that is sharp. I wonder what are the comparo #'s vs. Panamera? From all the Pana's I have seen here in South FL, there pry won't be many Rapide's on the streets.
Kyle, tons of them on the road in my city, see many/day

It's a Plymouth Laser. Aston did a great job in designing that car. As much as the Panamera has grown on me its big fat butt just lacks the elegance of the Rapide. -Eric
When I 1st saw the first pics I thought it was one of those new Jaguars
I'm still waiting on the Panamera to grow on me. Actually, I'm still waiting on the Cayenne to grow on me. Porsche should stick to cars with two doors and engines behind the driver.
A Panamera looks like a Hummer knocked-up my Carrera.
Cayenne turbos look pretty hot to me these days

YA for real, what kind of kit'ed out orange van is that?
I like the recessed door handles.
It's an Aston Martin Rapide and it's what the Panamera should have been.
I like this pic betta
Quotes source post: 8927224
You have an Aston Martin next to you on the road. Which car will you be paying attention to? That is like going to a bar and spending time chasing down the ugliest ones.
BTW I thought it was a Pana in the pics...so my earlier reference to "those are all over the place in my town" was referring to the wrong car....I have not seen one of these...maybe I will swing by the Austin dealer tonight see if they have one and kick the tires...tell em i am thinking about it
I have however seen the ugly girls at the bar

My world becomes a better place when I pretend they don't exist.
There is one I have seen in Ramsey, NJ area few time, Backseat is MUCH smaller than the Panomerarararra
LOL @ Marc ...and Chao

The MkI Cayenne looks like something out of Angry Birds to me. The current gen is much better looking. I get the notion that every Porsche needs to look like a Porsche but why does that mean that every Porsche needs to look like a 911? It means that the 911 is the purest of their cars and everything else is a 911 on steroids...or some hallucinogen...because whoever approved the Pana's design after seeing its *** in a design studio must have had a funny brownie at work. When you look at a Ferrari, you know that it's a Ferrari but while they share many styling cues not every Ferrari has to have the same set of headlights. -Eric

I was ready to call so much BS about you seeing tons of Rapides in your town and then you had to come and post this.
I have not seen a single one here in the Bay Area yet. Well, probably they are out there, but I have not seen these. I don't know about you guys but all these 4 door sport sedans are not growing on me yet. I guess I need to get older or something?
Quotes source post: 8927257
Well you asked me a question so I'll answer it for you. I would be paying 90% attention to the Aston as I plan to buy a Vantage in about 2 years. I would be paying 9% attention to other vehicles around me, and 1% specifically for that weird looking van behind me/you. That's all. Slow your role big guy.

Thus, as I have reiterated before, the orange van is insignificant. If you are hurt by the banter, we promise to play nice in the sand box just for you going forward.
I saw a new Bentley today. Similar lines but a bit more refined. I wouldn't kick either one out of my garage.
I've seen a couple of the Rapides in Houston and Austin. Great looking cars.
I like the Panamera... In some colors. Horrible in white, but good in dark grays and silver. There is a new brown this year that I really wonder about. Awful. Let's also remember that the Rapide begins around $200k.

I'm not a fan of brown cars in general but sports cars (including any vehicles claiming to be sport oriented) shouldn't be brown. -Eric
macadamia over natural brown = a beautiful car.... but I also think gutted and rattle canned purple is cool
Quotes source post: 8926838
After busting effortlessly down the autobahn at a buck-forty in a Panamera I get it. The car is, and always will be, ugly to me. But to drive one is to understand it. It really is a nice car. Porsche also needs to stay in business. The Cayenne is it's number one selling model. That being said, the Rapide just oozes class.
Quotes source post: 8929639
Would you get the Pana TurboS or the Rapide? I think the decision is fairly one sided.

Wow...now that's funny
