The first reviewer's first comment about the Aston's looks clearly discredits him.

C'mon! A professional car reviewer said it looks like a Jag or Peugeot!

I thought the review was excellent and contained the new RR ghost and the Aston Martin Rapide. The Bentley is a staple in this class ( as is Rolls Royce but the new ghost is brand new)

Call me crazy but I would rather have an S65 AMG over any of these. The Bentley and Rolls are too stodgy and played-out (at least where I live) and I really don't find the Rapide to be attractive at all.

Nice look at three excellent cars. I'm a big fan of the Big Bentley so yes I agreed with their choice.

I like the new Rolls and even the color shown in the video. There is something special about a red luxury car. Its so unique.
