Attended the debut tonight of the Aston Martin V12 Rapide Sedan in Newport Beach.

Without a doubt, the most visually beautiful sedan I have laid eyes on.

The rear is very cramped. Test drive scheduled for tomorrow, after little league and strawberry picking.

I'd buy the Panamera Turbo myself, given the dollar and performance ratio, if I were in the quest for such excess. (Which I am, I just don't have the money)...Haha

Drove the Rapide around town for a while yesterday on a test drive, about 30 minutes. Suspension has two settings, both are comfortable, even the sport setting is still very comfortable. Transmission didn't seem to shift very fast, but I wasn't on full or kick down throttle.

Amazingly quiet cabin, triple laminate glass makes the difference (according to the sales consultant).

The exhaust note is nice, and definitely something you can hear and will fall in love with.

Back seats have good head room, but are very small, and not so good leg room. Better than a 2+2 seating, but not as good as most sports sedans, not even close.

wow, torn between this and the Porsche Panamera... Hopefully shows like Top Gear will do a comparison soon... :excited:
