Aston's Rapide Gets Priced, Is It Too High?

I don't think any Aston Martin can be overpriced. Just look at the darn thing. It's a work of art, just like the DB9/DBS/V8-V12 Vantage. Modern day Aston's are simply beautiful. They are not the fastest cars in the world but that's not the point for these cars. Even if it had 300hp and looked like that people would still fork out money to buy it. Sorry I am in love with Astons.

I agree I dont think there is an Aston that could be overpriced, in fact the rapide could go for alot more it seems to be a bargain at that price point by super luxury standards

and the Rapide though they are similar concepts they are not the same type of car comparisons between them should be slim if at all......its like comparing a DB9 to a 911 turbo realistically these cars couldnt be more different

is that supposed to be £239,950 instead if £139,950? Because aside from £139,950 seeming like a bargain for the car, I don't see how a Rapide could be £139,950 and still be £89-95k more than a Quattroporte or Panamera Turbo as the article states. I doubt Porsche Panamera Turbos and Maserati Quattroportes are selling for £45-50k.

The article is for sure wrong about the panamera turbo price in the UK. It is £95k, not £50k as implied.

Aston Martin has probably the most beautiful cars on the road. I lust for all of them...

rapide beats the panamera in styling hands-down. Unlike the porsche, it isnt awkward in the least; heck, i didnt even notice the rapide was even a 4 door until it said in the article!

It's as you'd expect them to price it because there will be buyers. It's just that lust-worthy.

I don't think there is a true car enthusiast that doesn't love the design of an Aston Martin.

agreed, even though the do all look exactly the same ( a lay person wouldnt be able to tell them apart lol) but who cares? The design is timeless.

rapide looks way better than panamera, but im not too sure they will be cross shopped... i think the Rapide will steal bentley sales.. being they are priced around the same.. ( most panameras sold will not be the 135k turbo, it will will be the $95,000 panamera S )
