CloseThe should have gone with newer rear lights design and a zagato like front, IMO!
And hey look "Audi"(!) beat them to it they copied the 3rd side window for their Sportback that made AM unique! hahaah
It looks good... just 2yrs to late, IMO... Shown first as a concept, last to the finish.
SciFrog:
It is two years too late, now it will have to compete with the sportier CGT, the Panamera and the 612 FL most likely...
They missed a nice window of opportunity.
Absolutely. I guess that's the problem of a small manufacturer like AM. 
The secret of life is to admire without desiring.
intouch1:
much better than initially thought. however, it's gonna be double panamera turbo money i guess.
I fear that the price of the Rapide will indeed be sky-high. I guess potential Panamera Turbo customers would consider the AM if the price will be something like 30% above the Porsche, but not twice as much.

Looks very nice - except, from the front, the roofline looks 'tall' (but they obviously needed to do this for rear headroom) and the design of the rear door shape could be better IMO. Still, it looks very good IMHO

I don't think the Rapide will be twice the Panamera, that would put it above $300k, not going to happen...
if the car looks in the metal anywhere close to the concept car shown a couple of years a go in Geneva, it will be amazing...
I am not a huge fan of this rapide, but it has no competition from the panamera. The rapide is nice looking if not superb whereas the panamera is just UGLY.
Only a few senna-wannabes give a shit what a sedan does on the NBR. Nobody is going to drift their rapide thru roundabouts. Get real.
Mercedes still owns the sedan market.
