A lesson on how to design a four door super saloon. Take note Porsche.

Holsten

Aye, very nice.

Didn't initially notice the rear doors at first.

Looky what was there the same day!!




If it went on sound the porsche would win hands down.im nearly sure i have some video footage somewhere,might dig it out.

SuprSi

Porsche really should take lessons from Aston Martin on how to incorporate the classic design of their sports cars into a beautiful looking 4 door saloon. The Rapide is a stunner, the Porsche on the other hand is horrible.

Though nicer looking than the porsche by a considerable margin both cars look like they just stretched their smaller siblings, DB9 and 911 respectivly.

The Lambo is much better looking the these two and at least looks like a totally new car rather than a stretch.

Is that the Lambo that was on Top Gear recently~?? if so then I agree it was much nicer than the porsche and a bit nicer than this Aston...

Can't remember the name of it now to post an image...

I think.......

the Aston is gorgeous, winner all round.
The Panamera has a hint of GS300 about it from those pics above
The Estoque has a hint of Aston Martin Lagonda about it.......

I believe these images have been out for a coupe of years at this stage. The plate on it says "Detroit 06" from when it was first revealed at the 2006 Detroit Motor Show.

Why do all these sporty Astons and Jags look identical.

HashSlinging

Should have brought it out in the 90's would have been really bleedin rapid then.
