I don't know what to say....

This looks cool, but it's not for Aston Martin. And think it's not really good to make a sedan from AMV8/DB9...That shows that designers don't have new ideas!!

MikeJ · 01-02-2006, 02:02 PM

Shades of Quattroporte, don't you think?
I think the idea is cool - there have been 4-door Astons in the past - but the design should be more distinctive than that PS.

As MikeJ mentioned, Aston Martin had produced a 4-doors in the past before.
Although it's not a pretty one to be honest.

But the Aston Martin Rapide Concept seems to be more like a 4-doors coupe rather than a sedan.
Sports cars brands like Porsche and Lamborghini are developing a 4-doors coupe, so why not for Aston Martin?

haha aston martin was one of the ugliest cars ....

MikeJ · 01-02-2006, 02:35 PM

It's too bad they never produced this...

Apart from the Lagonda Alwing posted, there was also the quite different-looking Lagonda Series I, of which only seven cars were produced... - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

I've only ever seen one Lagonda, it was a black - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER with some nice rims, and despite what any of you guys might think it looked absolutely magnificent.

That would be an ace car. Would benefit from lashings of chrome - less wide hips and maybe a Lagonda moniker.
