Aston Martin Rapide - 4 Door Aston concept based on DB9
http://www.autocarmagazine.com/news_...p?na_id=218027

Concept will be shown in Detroit next week. Another Flying Spur on our hands, but interesting thing is that it beats the Porsche Panamera to the table... oh well, I guess Porsche will have time to size up the competition!!

At least it's better than the Panamera and Flying Spur...

I think it looks really nice... but will it really be a true alternative or just another also-ran.

You say its better than the Panamera (which hasnt had any specs/photos attached yet) or the Flying Spur...in what way? Looks, performance??

Last time I checked, the Flying Spur was rated as a very nice car. And will the Aston engine be able to handle all the extra weight??

EDIT: Found some pics...

Here are more pics...It's okay looking but I would prefer a new front end on it.

It should fit well with the Mercedes CLS and upcoming Porsche Panamerica.
