First drive in Rapide S - Page 2 - 6SpeedOnline - Porsche Forum and Luxury Car Resource

When I am ready for a 4 door car this will be it too(although my budget will be for a used one)! My father keeps wanting me to get his Maserati which is nice, but nowhere near my current Vantage so i can't imagine how much nicer this car would be compared to my "old" 07 vantage. I agree there was no competition at all, I had a BMW and Porsche before and have a Lexus currently and even at the much higher cost the Aston was so worth it. Sorry for the plug but, have you driven the Model S? hilarious

The model S actually does have a slight winding noise... but that's not what the experience is about. My dd is a 500e (not wealthy enough for two high-end cars), and while there's a world of difference, I do enjoy the instant torque, which is something no purely gas-powered car has. I'd love if the next Vantage was a plug-in hybrid...

Lol yes, but also curious on what other high-end car owners honestly think about the vehicle. I work in the design studio and interface with the vehicle's designers, hence the curiosity.
