This has to be the coolest prototype testing I've seen!

Looks like Porsche and Aston Martin engineers are having fun with their pre-pro car. Now down to business, which would you buy if you were rich? I'd have the Porsche. Yes, its not as pretty as the Aston or it probably wont be as luxurious but its 1/3 the price of the Aston and I'm almost positive it'll drive better and have more power.

Aston Martin has nothing on the Porsche,
lot of power and weight that's about it
in the Aston.

wait a sec the ZR1 would beat both right?
I would hope so

Of course the ZR1 would beat them. Thats a purpose built supercar. These are luxery sedans.

There's nothing better than a little friendly race between 2 competitors. Ok, I don't know exactly how friendly it was, but I bet it was fun!!

But I'd take the Panamara (<that's a mouth full for me), Because it just looks over all, just a little bit better than the Aston Martin. Also The Aston still has some suspenion tuning to do to get rid of all that body roll. The Panamara isn't nearly as bad.

I voted for the Rapide, the Panamera is going to be really quick, but it's ugly as hell! When these cars come out, they need to be pitted against the CTS-V

ZR1 rules (DUH) but I love how Astons look. D@mn you Top Gear!!!

You really dont get a feeling for... how truly UGLY that porsche is, from these pics.

I choose the Aston because id never be caught dead driving that ugly porsche, so i dont care how fast it goes.

I agree. the porsche is fugly. the aston looks nice, even though all aston martins look the same to me, it's a good look.

these are sedans? could have swore they were coupes at worst and performance coupes at that.

btw they look a lot alike.

*radz28* · 08-23-2008, 01:10 PM

Most Porches look alike too, IMHO. I just think AM looks better

TheMadHatter99 · 08-23-2008, 02:32 PM

Aston Martin FTW

Porsches are hideous IMHO while Astons are the epitome of beauty (with Alfa Romeo being the possible exception).
