Scroll down to see what i mean: || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || The Aston Martin Rapide... a four door DB9 ready for production. This isn't some fake picture.. it is the real deal. Going to be shown on the Detroit Motor show. Isn't it a load of sex or what! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic3 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 It looks like pretty much all the other recent Aston's, and uglier becase of the extra two doors ... thanks for getting my hopes up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke15 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Ofcourse not, that added doors make the Aston Martin more usuable when more than 2 people want to go in the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic3 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Ofcourse not, that added doors make the Aston Martin more usuable when more than 2 people want to go in the car But why let more people in? It'll just weight it down and it wont go as fast as it should Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guybrush Threepwood Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 They already have back seats. Right on. It does look beautiful, and I've loved Aston's styling for a long time. But I can't help but wonder if this is really what Aston needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll just weight it down and it wont go as fast as it should Aston Martins are GT cars... Decent handeling, but more suited for those highways and long stretches of road that you want to do the highspeed cruises on. Aston Martins of the past have not preformed good enough to be a dedicated super coupe, this is how the car should be, in my opinion atleast. Dup: you couldnt fit your average sized human adult or teenager comfertably int heback seat of an Aston even if it came with back seats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxman Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Happily, this man is going to the Detroit auto show, and I'll have *real* pictures for you guys to see of this car and others. If I'm lucky, I may get to sit inside it, I'll tell you how it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cran. Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Ahhh, no. They should have made it look different, all that coupe stuff does not suit a 4 door. Laziest 4 door ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trueno_Drifter86 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I actually didn't notice it had four doors at first lol but then I took a nother look and saw them. It looks like your average Aston I can't really tell the diffence between most of them anymore. On the sexy scale I would still give it a 6.5-7 probably because it's not really my type of car and there are much better looking exotics out there.

JJHW Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 (edited) BMW didn't come to England either... It's alright, but again, it's a Ford... I like Fords... But not with other badges... And it's got an unfortunate Mondeo feeling... I quite like the Mundano, but then again, it's no GT Cruiser... +FF7F24+ Edited January 4, 2006 by JJHW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCorrupt Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Partially in lieu of the car's extra weight, the DB9's six-litre V12 is upgraded from 450 to 480bhp, so this is still a quick car, sticking its nose in the sub-five-secs 0-60mph bracket and buzzing 180mph plus.

Cran. Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Mmmm come to think of it, it kinda has that Bentley Flying Spur feel too it... IMO those designs should have stayed in it's coupe guise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogan Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 In my opinion, Aston's lately all look rather similar to me. They should do something that looks much different, but not drastic ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cran. Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 In my opinion, Aston's lately all look rather similar to me. They should do something that looks much different, but not drastic ;D Yeah.. I kinda confuse the DB9 with the AMV8... It's kinda like the commodore and it's 14 other simular variants that have all been built on the same platform...

*gta star* Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Whats the specs on this car and the price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic3 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Whats the specs on this car and the price? Well since it's just a four door DB9, it'll have the same engine, probably stiffer rear suspension, and probably cost a bit more ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBrien97 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 o man...im gunna have to hit the lottery and buy that vanquish lookin one....shiiiiit...thats f*ckin hot... i like 4-doors.....especially when they're Aston Martins....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Wow! The quattroporte was my favorite 4-door saloon. Now if only this sounded like the new Vantage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkRukario Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 The Aston Martin Vanquish was my favorite ASton Martin. Now looking at this beautiful thing... I think this ride is better. And it already comes with driver! It seems that I would have a lot of fun in there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*gta star* Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Thats what I was thinking. More than likely if it is a four door DB9 it will have more weight, so obviously some improvements will go into it. Also, I didn't ask whether it would cost a bit more, I asked "Whats the price?". Just being curious, nothing wrong with that. Surely.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
