The Aston Martin is prettier than the Porsche and the Aston Martin has a V12 as well. The Porsche seems just pretty as the Aston as soon as you see the interior. The Porsche has suffered from huge from huge depreciation while the Aston has not. For equal money, I would take the V12 Aston, but at less than 30k dollars the Porsche is the bargain as a used car.

Great video! Thank you, Fastest Laps.
I'm sorry to say the Rapide is no longer been made.
It definitely was a real beauty with its 2 extra doors.
I was having a walk one day a while ago, and a driver in his Rapide was stopped in Dublin traffic, He had a friendly chat with me.
He was amazed I recognised what type of car he was driving.
I don't see him anymore which is very sad.
But I do see lots of Panameras around my local district.
(Some Irish drivers love cars manufactured by Porsche).
Some Panameras are even estates; and they look even more terrific in my opinion.
Safe driving from Flt 158
