I don’t like either the Panamera or the Rapide.

A sportscar has 2 doors. Period.

For me, the Porsche is always going to be the better seller though, If it were the other way round then brand dilution would be a huge problem for Aston…

Having said that its rivals are the Panamera and Quatroporte, I should really have said the Continental Flying Spur would be closer as the Rapide will probably be in that price range rather than the lower :D

I would have the Rapide over the Panamera for it’s looks any time. Not sure about the performance, but judging on it’s looks the Rapide is the winner.

You can always post pictures of testing Porsche’s in your neighbourhood, exclusive stuff I’d say…

No sorry, only student, but a job by Porsche would be great. :)
The factory isn’t far away from my flat and have some engineers in the neighborhood.
So almost every Sunday i hear the beautiful sound of porsches racing down their testrack, sometimes really annoying. :(

@Meller

Offcourse everybody has his own opinion, which is respected!

Can you post pictures of that photoshoot in our forum?

Looks better than a Panamera?

I haven’t seen the Rapide live, but I have seen the Panamera many times crousing around in Leipzig.
Two weeks ago there was a little fotoshoot with Panamera, Audi A8, BMW 7 and Mercedes S-Class in the city centre of Leipzig. And the Panamera looks so great, much better than any other high premium limousine.

I don’t like the tail of the Rapide, for me the Panamera tail is more sporty.

Don’t know what, but there’s something wrong with the headlights!
