Honestly, I cant tell ANY Aston Martin apart from the other. The only way I know this is different is because of the 4 doors. That's not to say they aren't sexy as hell.

I don't like it that much. It looks sort of plain for its price.

"But Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez, in a fit of understandable partisanship, insists his car is something unique; he claims that the Rapide is “the only four-door sports car in the world.” "

I LOVE Aston coupes, but what an arrogant prick! World's only 4 door sports car?
- 4300 lbs.
- automatic transmission
- optional rear seat entertainment system?
- 5.0 sec. 0-60
- 7 inches longer than a Honda Pilot

My M3 sedan is closer to a sports car than that, but I still wouldn't call it one.

Not to mention the Panamera. I actually saw one in person a few weeks ago, and it was pretty.
