Seeing the Panamera in person, I liked it better then in the pics but the Aston is definately nicer looking....but...I would still buy a Porsche over and Aston any day. For just plain looks and not performance I am going with the Fisker Karma. IMO it looks better then both of them. I know it's top speed is only going to be 125 mph but the estimated mpg is close to 100 and 0-60 is estimated at 5.8 sec. Not to shabby.

In that context / comparison, I'm curious what everyone thinks about this quote in the recent AutoBlog review:

The Rapide is perhaps the ultimate case of pictures not doing a car justice. This is not meant as a slight against our photographer, just that when compressed down to only two dimensions, many of the achingly gorgeous curves are flattened out. As such, I spent perhaps thirty minutes staring at nothing but the Aston's curvaceous front fender. During that time I had no thoughts of anything else.
