Has anyone seen one of these on the roads?
Or is it a flop?

Have not seen one yet (if ever in SA). IMO the Rapide has all it takes to be successful in this segment but for me the Panamera, Bentley GT and Merc CL/CLS are more to my taste. Talking true GT I'd rather have the DB9, upcoming 6er and top of my list now is the SLS AMG for sure!

The Rapide's interior/cabin is one unique and tasteful place indeed.

I saw a black one on the road. The design works, it looks like a proper coupe, and not an out of proportion DB9.

I have seen three of them. The car is no joke. It's amazingly hot. Totally sub-zero. When the DBS version comes out, ladies will wet their panties. There's no contest. It's the hottest four door coupe on the market, though it has a useless backseat.

Quattroporte who? Panamera what? This is the real 4-door super-saloon! Looks as great as it can possibly get!

I would never buy this because I need four doors but simply for it's looks over a DB9 or a comparably priced coupe. The rear seats are in all honest useless and are not more accommodating than the backseat of a CL.

I have totally come around to this car. I was one of the main ones that hated this car because it looks too much like a DB9 with extra doors, but man after seeing it in at a few auto shows I'm sold.

Stunning inside and out. Just waiting on the hotter version to see what they can really do. The AM V12 needs more power to compete nowadays.

From the reviews I've read, I hear that the rear seats are utter nonsense. But then again I have yet to see one in person. Have they been released State-side yet? And are they going to do a DBS version of this?

Oh yea, it does look freakin' hot. However, after seeing a Panamera drive full throttle out of a dealer lot last week, I've become a Panamera believer. Especially in 4S guise

Very nice. I haven't gone too gaga over this car, as at that price point, I wouldn't call it my favorite all around car, but as usual, Aston designs one of the most perfect looking Sports cars. And indeed, THIS looks more like a true "4-Door COUPE" than any other on the market. I haven't seen one in person yet though, and I'm sure it'll be a jaw dropper.

Wow..so it really do exist in human beings hands..
For now i hate it..as i did from the start..its a db9 with 2 extra doors to me..
Maybe ile change my mind when i see it..but i doubt it
