That sure doesn't take much! The Rapide really is a stunning sedan. I know people have lambasted it for just being a stretched DB9, but I don't see how that could possibly be a bad thing!

They better sort those panel gaps out though. And those mirrors are ugly.

You may be right, but it can't be much worse than the merc CLS backseat. This is definitely the best looking sports sedan out there IMO.

...another thought....

Both the Rapide and Panamera look like stretched versions of their respective companies coupes. They just don't look right to me.

The CLS looks like it is supposed to be a sedan, the proportions are what they should be.

In general, hatchback sedans just dont look right. I am sure the designers at both Porsche and AM have enough talent to come up with a design for a sports sedan that carries enough of their "DNA" to keep their buyers happy.

Back seats look claustrophobic.

Although, doesn't it have a glass roof?
