  | Those doors are quite a smart idea IMO. I cringe now whenever I have to let some out curbside. There are few more horrible sounds in this world than door hitting a curb and then being pulled, scraping the ground in order to be closed. M

| ^^If you notice the two pics there are some MAJOR differences. 1. The chick is a stick figure, look at her thighs/The dude is HUGE. 2. The seats in front of the chick are vertical/The dude has the seat in front of him at an angle. 3. There is no one in front of the chick, thus the seat is pushed forward/There is a dude sitting in front of the huge guy, with a laptop on his lap, with the seat set to his position. 4. Aston's Rear Center is quite high giving it look of less room while the center of the panamera is normal looking.

| "Hello, graceful lady."  Oh, almost forgot, just to be on topic...yes, the Rapide looks derivative, especially due to its long gestation period, but it looks sleek, unfussy, and best to stand the test of time. This will be a classic in in 10 years time. Now...graceful lady in graceful Rapide leads to grace on earth and goodwill from me.  |
