to tell the truth, I hope aston wont make a 4 doors car... (same as i hope for ferrari, lambo etc..) but it does look good, even better then the Quattroporte..

^ I agree. When I first saw the car, I liked it so much that I didnt care it was a 4 door aston. But yeah, I agree with your juxtaposition of Ferrari and Aston.

I'll admit the aston looks good, but thats just because it looks like a DB9/Vanquish/V8 Vantage.

it looks like they took a BD9, changed the headlights, gave it a Vanquish hood, and cut out a space for the rear doors. if JC is looking for something that beats Porsche in the "lazy design" scheme, it's an aston.

I have seen the Quattroporte in the street and i absolutely love it, and since the Aston is only a concept, i canīt be sure (but my guess is that itīs gonna look fantastic in the flesh). My vote goes to the very beautiful Quattroporte

The QP has grown on me since its introduction a few years back, but it still has too much of a Buick-look to it. I would never be seen driving a Buick, and I'd certainly never own one, so despite the charismatic engine, engaging handling, beautifully finished interior and sport/limo composition, I'd have to vote for the Rapide. The Rapide does bear too much of a resemblance to the DB9 and AMV8, but that being said, it is still quite a beautiful car in the metal. Having been so close I could touch it, the detailing is exquisite (As it should be for a concept car) and if put into production, I think it would be a beautiful addition to the Aston range (with a few styling tweaks here and there perhaps.)

Maserati without any doubt! the Aston looks like an ill propotioned coupe, and more: like all the other astons.

Dont like them either, but man, you must have exceptions. 3 years ago, the only 4 door I liked was the M5. Now M5, RS4, Rapide. I think there are more, but I cant remember at the moment.

About the buik look, it resembles one now even more than before. Have you seen the ones with the quattroporte holes on the side?
