Aston Martin Rapide spotted in Tallahassee - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

What an amazing looking car! It's long and sleek and absolutely beautiful.

We were on Thomasville Rd in my wife's Crosstour when she says "that car looks a lot like mine!". So, I look over a couple of lanes and see this car that I immediately recognize as a super exotic but can't see the model at first. So purposefully taking my time I slow a little to get a better look and spot the "Rapide" emblem as it turns to take the I-10 on ramp.

So wife says "wow, I like it!". I say, "yeah, I bet, it's $200 grand worth of car!"

I saw one in Berverly Hills last week. I love this car and I think it's a great second car for CR-Z owner. CR-Z as a fun daily drive. Rapid for going out during weekends and whenever 4 seats are needed. But it's just too expensive. The Porsche Panamera is cheaper and faster. It also has luxury interior. However, it is ugly.

^ Or the Jag XKS-R - My lawyer just bought one of those (Damn, I'd better take a closer look at his invoices from now on!).

Still, very nice sighting - too bad you didn't have a camera at the ready.

Best looking four door on the planet IMO and this from a Porsche owner and fan.

I may be one of the only ones, but I love the Panamera!

The Rapide is pretty boss also.

I love EVERYTHING about the Panamera EXCEPT the back.

The Panamera is pretty nice except the back. Someone in my neighborhood just bought one a few months ago. Looks pretty damn good at night. I've seen a few Vantages rolling around here and tons of Bentleys. My neighbor has a Black Ferrari F430 I believe, and another one has a silver R8. I'd love an Aston Martin myself haha.

The panamera just screams sleek style. The only drawback as far as I'm concerned is the center console...too many buttons.

The rapide is pretty ballin though. The back seats do nothing for me, but Aston really nailed the look of the super stretch coupe by adding those rear doors.
