Very interesting, especially since I always find myself agreeing with you OP...
I seen the Panamera and it has HUGE presence, honestly I'd say more than a Range Rover. It doesnt look as bad in pics, it just looks very heavy. The front end is very nice, I've always like it. I want to like the the Porsche because it is cheaper and performance is amazing.
The Rapide wins me over with its design even though it's basically a 4-door DB9 with AMV8 rear. It's not original at all, or practical in the rear. Hmm, and the price is highhhh. I think the best Aston is the V8. The DB9 is starting to look dated. However with a few new design tweaks the Rapide looks great. It looks sharp and has great stance.
So which would I buy? Not sure at all really. lol. Both have good/bad points.
Edit: for $50k more I'd rather have the Porsche then I think. $50k is a huge difference!
