Maybe not such a good idea to let people see those cars together. Well, for Porsche anyway.

 

+ 1..........................

 

Maybe, but the amounts of camo on each car differ substantially.
The Panamera has its front lights and grill/bumper all covered (which does nothing for its looks) and the rear bumpers (on the sides) still have some false paneling which gives the rear more bloated look than it already is.
Obviously the AM is certainly more beautiful, but the Panamera isn't as bad as in the picture.

 

Does anybody know what the price is going to be on Rapide?

 

^^I read something a while back that had an estimated msrp of 170k. Id expect it to be similarly priced to the db9s which shares the same v12

 

IMHO (and that of a few of my NY friends who have seen these photos) the Panamera is butt ugly compared to the Aston. Unless its 1/3 of the price I'd never buy one. $200K for the Aston seems reasonable next to $100K for the Porsche - its that ugly. I thought the Cayenne looked quite pleasant when it came out, but not this sedan. Porsche had better profile the Panamera with prospective customers in the USA before finalizing its design. If what we see is the final product, this series will go the way of the 924. Are you listening Porsche NA ?

 

porsche needs to work on their styling, ALOT. aston FTW!

 

That AM is simply stunning.

 

100% with you....

 

I hope Porsche is faster, but they are losing in looks. Maybe they have a rabbitt in the rear end they are going to pull out.

 

amazing handling is expected. This should somewhat be like the Cadillac CTS-V. A family saloon which has race-track-performing ability.

 

It was looking promissing until I saw the rear shot.........

 

Straight on is the only decent angle on the panamera, it only looks bland from that perspective. rear, side, 3/4 views are really not attractive at all....

 

Aston is a beauty. Against the Panamera, no question. The Aston looks sleek and nimble. The panamera looks fat and bloated. Wow.
