I want to like it, I really do, but I just feel sort of underwhelmed. The DB9 is a thing of beauty, and the DBS and Vantage a couple of things of subdued menace. This is very lovely, but that's not quite the same.

Saw it in the flesh in Frankfurt and I'm not a fan. There's not a single design element on this car that can't be seen on the other older AM models.

+1. The Rapide loses something in translation from a coupe to a sedan. It's still one of the best looking sedans I've seen in a long time, but it just doesn't quite do it for me like it ought to.


Also, Rapide >>>> Panamera in the looks department. All day. Every day.
