VIDEO + REVIEW: FIRST Video Review Of Aston Martin's NEW Rapide S

When Aston Martin showed off its new and freshly updated Rapide S, it doesn't seem that folks were quite that excited. A lot of the criticism really focused on its new "face," which to me is very Zagato-esque.

That's not a bad thing.

It certainly makes the Rapide S stand out amongst the Aston Martin lineup AND it also adds presence.

More importantly though, how does it drive? Well, we'll let Autocar shake that out for you.

We test the new Aston Martin Rapide S, putting the revised car through its paces and revealing what's changed from the previous generation.

i wish this car was as mainstream as a panamera, beautiful but too expensive, i live in nyc and have not seen a single one on the road !

Very expensive for what it is. You can snap up a Panamera Turbo S for less, have more room and — arguably — better reliability/build quality.

Living in the NY Tri-State area I can say I've seen approx. 4-5 since its debut.

Not arguably.

Guaranteed to have better quality and reliability.

Remember i said so about this company, In less than 5 years Aston will be in dire straights and seeking new Owner / Financier.

The DB9/S and Rapide of 2010 was way better in terms of looks than this botched job.
Drivetrain/Chassis upgrades are not going to be enough to get back the normal Aston buyers. Mark my words
