@omidool First time I saw the Panamera I also thought it looked ugly but know I changed my mind. I think it’s not a beauty but there are a lot more cars that look much uglier.
Personally I always have a very strong consideration for the look of the car, Panamera is really ugly and although Rapide is not a best looking Aston but still is much much more beautiful than Panamera. I would definitely go for the Aston.
the comments about the bias of the ‘journos’ is 100% correct. autocar has ZERO credibility after seeing this. you can pick a car all you want based on subjective dreck but the porsche destroyed this tata martin and as always, the aston will prove to be unreliable. I dont much care for the panamera but after seeing it in white and seeing it win convincingly I would consider it if I were rich and I could get better rims. autocar: EPIC FAIL
I always find ridiculous how the British press will try to defend the British cars in front of the competition. Competition that usually creams those cars.
So in Panamera 4 people can travel in great comfort and is much, much faster than a Rapide with only the driver in it. Well done Aston.
Quite strange that in every Auto Car test British cars have bad performance but somehow the host declares them do be winners. It is kind of nationalism.
Lets face it. Rapide uses old DB9 technology. It has a bit better lines but how can you buy Aston Martin. Every time when you see Panamera passing, you realize, that you brought the second best car.
some might think the Aston is better looking (and i agree) but it dosen’t hold a candle to porsche engineering.
that was an accident, i posted that comment after midnight.
The DB9 is much better looking. What on earth is going on at the back?

porsches have always been ugly and astons always beautiful
I think the Aston looks just strange…like a long DB9. I prefer the Panamera.
haha that is so true.
why the aston is left-hand and the porsche right-hand, and not the opposite? it somehow confused me…
Go to 3:06 to save yourself some blah blah blah time and see the results.
There is no side by side drag race in this vid, they’re wasting your time.
Why are you replying to yourself ?
@M5IAN
I knew there gonna end up making an M7 just not sure when there ever gonna bother to make it
I wouldn’t be too sure about that. They said that they’d never make an X5 M and look at things now.
Your mom has that auto feel to it. Lol
the porsche is more practical and cheap, just whether you are willing to more to be less ugly instead… The aston certainly looks more exotic
“Aston Martin, count yourself beat”??? that’s all u can say?? They just put 4 people in a Panamera and it absolutely DEMOLISHED the Aston!!!
i would take the porsche fo sho.
like cmon do u really see the back of the car when u are inside driving??
Absolutely.

were porsche blind when they drew this car design.
It is disgusting, especially from the back

Great video, but maybe the CLS63 should have been included as well?
I absolutely don’t care about speed when choosing a car from this category .
If I had the money, I’d pick the Aston any day.
