Aston Martin Rapide sedan priced above 007's pay grade
If you have $200,000 sitting around that you're just dying to spend, here's an interesting offer.
Buy a new Aston Martin Rapide four-door sports car, which will go on sale next spring, and get $50 back. The price of the Rapide will start from $199,950 in the U.S., Aston announced over the weekend. For the money, you'll get a lot of standard equipment, like a Bang & Olufsen audio system, heated seats with memory adjustment, dual cast brakes and an adaptive damping system.
The Rapide is Aston Martin's first great attempt at fusing a four-door sedan with a sports car -- just like the new Porsche Panamera. You know, imagine if James Bond got married, settled down and still wanted to have fond memories of the car he used to escape motorcycles with built-in machine guns -- yet plenty of room for the kids. The Rapide will be the first sports car to be hand-built at the Aston Martin Rapide Plant in Graz, Austria, which tries to replicate the quality levels of Aston's traditional English plant in Gaydon.
