Heck, if this car includes free copy of Daniel Craig 007 films, then that would be killer
Exterior-wise, I'd see that they are tied with the Panamera, but in this case, I'd slightly favor the Rapide here (in this aspect).
) compared to the panamera, but exterior still goes to the Rapide.

I like it, easily blows the hideous Panamara station wagon away exterior wise. Interior is very nice as expected but not much different then what we have seen from Aston Martin before.. I did not like the previous side view of the Rapide and thought they totally screwed it up but from these more recent pics it looks good.

It doesn't look as good as the original version we saw a while back but it is nicer looking than the Panamera. I still think I would rather an S class over either of them

I think I am repeating myself, but I would never consider the Rapide unless I already have a DBS, and want a second Aston just for the heck of it ... which means i am already day dreaming

Wow, I like it even less with these new pics than I did before. The car has really awkward proportions to me. It is really long, in comparison to it's width. The rear lights also look too small in proportion to the rest of the body. Interior, as with all Astons looks good.
Overall though, I would definitely take a Panamera over this. Neither are amazing designs, but to me the Panamera looks more proportional.
