2010 Aston Martin Rapide

Base Price: $175,000 (est.)
What's New: With this Rapide model, Aston Martin is entering the ultra-luxury four-door coupe segment created by Mercedes-Benz's CLS.
Why We've Got to Drive It: An Aston with a functional side, the Rapide promises to maintain the brand's characteristic high-performance handling while providing seating for four. It is safe to assume the Rapide will use an engine closely related to the roaring V12 of the DB9.
