it`s just unbelievably beautiful,elegant and all parts of the car fit together in a flow,other than the panamera which has certain sections that stick out and interrupts the flow when your eyes are going from the front to the rear...

I agree, the Aston is much better looking.

There's no need to dual badge in different fonts. Hopefully that's not on the final product.

+ even more

Looks like the English have beaten the Germans once more. The Rapide is just gorgeous....it mean, is a stretched DB9. Full stop.

ScottKelly911 has a reputation beyond repute

for a $100,000 it should make you say "I WANT THAT!" but it doesn't. It falls just short of, I'd "I'd Like that" In my opinion, to compete with Mercedes, BMW and Jaguar, they're going to need to have a bit more elegance. Hopefully it's performance and luxary are above and beyond the others because if it isn't, that's going to be a really tough sell. Especially in the very crowded Sedan market.
