Astons are beautiful. Some times they look a little too much alike but it's ok, whatever product whether its the v8 vantage or the dbs, their all beautiful cars!. I can't wait to see the Rapide in person.

I now have a new car I lust after, and I'm even willing to forgive it's a soft top. It'd be tough between this or an SL65. Nah, probably this :-)

Just when I thought Astons were getting bland, they spit this one out. Amazing!
