  • I thought the panamera is not a supercar.

  • fuck these guys they only like the rapid cuz its built were they are from

  • only an idiot would choose a porsche over an aston martin

  • Comment removed

  • wow is the Aston slow!!!!!

  • LOW GRIP ROAD BOTH OF THEM(Aston Martin Rapide and Porsche Panamera).

  • aston martins are beautiful cars, but my god they are slow (except for the one-77)

  • Aston martin looks MUCH better but these two cars were built for two different reasons.That A.M is a pussy magnet,ask Mr.Bond lol.

  • This Porsche is about speed and tech but Aston Martin Rapide is about elegance and passion for driving. Thubs up if you agree! :D

  • Porscha is nicer, but I don't like the name panamera

  • Follow-up

    Now let see Porsche quarters:

    "...ATLANTA - January 2, 2012 - Porsche Cars North America, Inc. The year-to-date sales are 25,320 vehicles sold last year - a 15 percent increase."

    Now you have to be absolutely blind as a mole not see which of the two is worldwide desired

    and making money and which will end up in bankruptcy. If you British so much love it

    start buying it motherfuckers.Stop posting stupid videos like the above one!!!

  • To this typical English chauvinism there is only one nailing answer - numbers (see FinancialNews 16/01.12)

    "... The favourite marque of fictional spy James Bond suffered a 9% fall in sales to 1,080 in the UK last year, its fourth consecutive annual fall and down by more than half from its 2006 peak of 2,292 cars. "

  • wat a stupid comparison........a sport sedan vs a luxury sedan ....

  • @ztinny1990 youre stupid .. panamera has way nicer interior and she is definitely more luxury car than aston.. you should watch this /watch?v=T6c1S8qfYgQ&feature=p­lcp&context=C34cde8fUDOEgsToPD­skIXDL6uybfhQbSXKoJo5z2A

  • @extrememito how do you know? do you have them both? its just my opinion. why did you want somebody stupid? to you make yourself feel better?

  • fucking englishman

  • the way this guy talks pisses me off

  • rapide!!!! my dream car!!!!! :D

  • I come from germany and normal i like Porsche but in my city there are 5 panmeras and 0 rapides so i would take the Aston :D

  • This is a f**ked up test . WTH is putting an unfairness into the test ,makes this worth a test at all? If one is disadvantaged than so be it . What's with adding some weight for the sake of it ? RUBBISH .

  • I wasted 3,75 minutes watching this man who clearly has been paid by aston martin.

  • The Aston Martin is a woman who is shit at sex but she is beautiful.

    The Porsche is a fat ugly spotty woman who is amazing at sex.

    For this reason I would choose the Aston Martin.

  • at 1:29 is that a lotus?

  • i think your quite ugly dont talk about porsche like that

  • To sum up: Porsche is quicker but the Aston more fun to drive ? Get a PS3 and a race game, that's even more fun to drive. :)

  • Aston = Asthetics

    Porsche = performance

    chose your car!

  • @anurek123 I would take the Aston, It's just miles ahead in the cool factor

  • why is that all british magazines always make excuses to make the obviously technicaly superior Porsche loose against a british car. And at the end they say the panamera is ugly and Rapide is beautifull. I mean the looks is a matter of personall preference and i have seen Panamera in metal and it is beautifull to me and it has a way classier interior. Panamera is the winner for me

  • Remember when under 5 seconds meant supercar status........now a Subaru can do that........I am a old hotrodder and some 4 bangers today could beat the snot of of some of the hemis, big blocks chevys, in my day......Porsche can blow away a Aston, but if you are a car lover, that body and that scream will make you come for more.....opps and I talking about a car or a woman........Yikes........it's Aston all the way......

  • How is that guy not smiling when he is driving that?!?!?!?!

  • I'm sorry the only car that could call itself a rival, what about the Maserati Quattroporte, the S63 AMG ( S65 is too expensive) the Audi A8 W12, the BMW-Alpina B7, or the top Jag XJ-L

  • @n74c64 That would be the XJL Supersport.

  • thumbs up for rapide

  • Design-wise, the panamera as i see it is a 911 with four doors. This guy doesnt know the shit hes talking about

  • I want a four seater sports car about as much as i'd want a racing bus.

  • poorsse <3

  • Nothing compare with the design of an aston

  • Were's the FF?

    

  • I would be happy with either. I think the Porsche is the more sensible option because it's better value, but the Aston Martin is just beautiful. Porsche + Aston Martin = What dreams are made of

  • But the Rapide looks much better than the Panamera!!

  • oh wow. First he analyses and comes to a clear victory for the Panamera: more space inside, more confort, more torque, more speed...even with 4 passengers,

    and then, of course: the Aston Martin is better...blablabla...Germano-P­hobia?

    I dont like, how Porsche designed the front-lights, should be like in the 911, simple and round. And the AM has got a ugly "nose", looks as if it was cut off.

    both need some re-design.

    the most beautiful sporty 4-seater is the Maserati.

  • opps i ment for porsche to have an s in it

  • the porche is nowhere near ugly

  • Again again gain again again again and again German car wins!

  • @mikkeljan Lets see a the Porsche beat the Mclaren F1 then. Aston Martin and Porsche make totally different cars, because a Porsche can beat a Rolls Royce doesn't make it a better car.

  • mr.frankel U r right at sayin d Rapide being beautiful,dashingly 2,about quality feel but of coz,like d AS is a whole lot more costly 2,on err... a whole lot more fun 2 drive comment?U kidding me,how many people can drive like U guys drifin & all,so pro,de multitudes out dair cant really handle any out of d ordinary driving sitch,so traction control 4 us es gud,until we've a decade or so mor years down de road, lateral conditions r dreadfully frightening

  • s i've said it before i'll say it again,porsche direly needs make-over, needs young German blood,possibly evn women or Italian designers 2 breathe new life into it, tho dairs no let-up in acceptence,I'm always afan of German tech,I feel ol conservative stuffyness in de system must dun away w,evr heard of tinking out fr fundamentalism,

  • porsche has a lot goin fa it in terms of figures,but it needs somuch 2 depart from d obsession w/ mr.Ferdinand A Porsche 911 aesthetical design,I wud say der same fa audi s well,O' look at ferrari dair r so many different lookin models in its line-up,I hope Germans'll do s Italiens push d boundry in especially engine output.while both cars r good puhlis do away w/ der rear seat centerline coffin & w d kind of tech U've,cant d drive shaft go under d door fairing of chassis s oppose 2 d driver

  • @beaggyboy

    Germans are always the best in terms of technology

  • this was the dumbest comparison i've seen

  • All Porsches are fucking ugly

  • When the British recognice that their car is slower they do like this: lets sit 4 fat people in the porsche - Damn its still faster... Ok lets say something like the Porsche is ugly (which is a matter of taste, I like the Panameras look very much). Oh shit now we have made the mistake to show that the porsche can take 4 fat man what is not possible with the AM Rapide...

  • The Aston is nice but when I saw it in person it didnt look as great as it does here. The Panamara on the other hand looks excellent.

  • @disendangered

    How is your guide dog? Not feeding him to many treats I hope?

  • Porsche Panamera Turbo!

  • BUY a Maserati Quattroporte GTS!!!

  • Comment removed

  • its a proven fact that four fat men weighting 1/3 ton aids traction in those wet conditions

  • When E.T. settles down and has a family he will drive a Porsche Panamera

  • Well... We can make a big discussion about "which car looks better". In the end, it's a matter of taste. It is a fact that Porsche sells way much more Panameras than AM sells Rapides. So it's obvious that the Rapide is a little bit more exclusive.

    I'm from Germany and I love Porsche. But I've to say that the design of the Aston Martin Rapide is very special and with big love for the detail.

    In my opinion Aston Martin should put a Twinturbo and a launchcontrol in that thing... :)

  • Bugatti 16c Galiber anyone

    220mph

    3.2 s 0-60

    800+hp

  • dear britons. this test is ridiculous. the porsche kill the aston martin. the technique of the porsche is better in every regard. the aston is cool, but not on the same level like the porsche. sorry but thats the truth. anyway.....automobiles are a matter of taste

  • @MrGoodbar747 The Porsche is meant to be more sporty and quicker....the Aston Martin is sort of a granddad's car but still very niiiice.

  • @Tommyfungun In this way yes. But what i meant is that the only thing you can compare of these 2 cars is the body. thats it. thats why this test is ridiclous. this porsche is UNIQUE in its class. we are taliking about 2 ton heavy car wtih a acceleration of 4.2 sec with LC and its runnig 310 kph and the italian competitor FF has a V12. I would choose the Aston as well, but the next question is.... Aston is like Audi. They look all the same. unfortunately

  • @MrGoodbar747 You got it spot on mate, the only similarity is the body..the test is stupid. I would have the Aston Martin as well for some strange reason I don't know.

  • Der Panamera kann fast ausnahmslos alles besser, trotzdem gewinnt der Aston Martin in einer englischen Autoshow weil er ein bisschen hübscher aussieht?

    Seltsame Sicht auf die Fakten..

    Sorry Dudes, aber aus diesem Grund sind halt deutsche Autos die besten der Welt.

  • I'd have the Rapide. Better quality, looks, exclusivity. The only reason someone would take a Panamera is because of the speed and practicality. So why not buy an S63 with performance pack. Then you'd have a sedan that is faster, more practical, and doesn't look like a humpback whale. Oh and it's the same price.

  • @TheUberPlayboy you dont have any idea. btw you need the S65 PP to get the panamera.

  • If the panamera wasnt so fucking ugly in the back id totally be for it as i love porsche, but they just fucked up the design majorly in my opinion..

  • For someone who dirves nice cars fro a living he sounds very bored

  • I had the AMAZING opportunity to step in and drive a Rapide for about 60 miles... The car is truly impressive and intimidating. However, once you get used to the throttle response (very torquey and smooth and yet really urgent) you kind of realise that it's like a really big saloon car with a bit more presence and a bit less space. I ADORED those 60 miles, they are one of my fondest memories ever. Still...I'm not sure I'd pay the extra money compaired to the AWFULLY LOOKING Panamera...

  • @eug3n91 and is the suspension comfortable ?

  • @MrJeronimo94 Mnot as much as you'd expect. I love Astons but I...sort of have to be honest. It's no better than a comfy-specd E-Klasse. As I said, the car is stunning and its presence and looks are truly amazing, especially in the right ambiance. Still, the price is awfully high and I struggled to see any other justifications for it than the ones mentioned above.

  • i'd save a bit of cash and get the Maserati Quattroporte GT S

  • Der Panamera ist geil!!!

  • You can tell how biased he is towards the Porsche. 4 people in it for the same test, and look at how unenthusiastic his facial expression is when he finds out that the Porsche was faster. I love Aston Martins for their image and luxury, but if I wanted a performance sedan, it's the Porsche hands down. In real life, I think they look gorgeous, especially in black with the 911 turbo wheels.

  • he's a typical Briton...tht's d reason he goes wid d Aston.... but any1 else wud prefer the Porsche ovr the Aston!

  • aston martin 470hp, panamera 500hp. the aston is non- supercharged (normally aspirated), panamera is turboed. the aston is 6L V12, the Pan is 4.8L V8.

  • Comment removed

  • DON'T EVEN DARE TO SAY "PANAMERA" A CAR IT IS A JUNK ALIEN CREATURE FROM SOME OTHER PLANET AND IF SOMEBODY IS COMPARING WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFULL CAR (ASTON MARTIN RAPIDE) I THINK HE MUST BE ALIEN TOO.

  • 5.6 sec in wet condition mmmmm !

  • both cars are ugly imo. whats the deal with all these hatchbacks the Euros are building? If you're going to build a sedan build a proper one.

  • Like ur Rolex lol

  • Aston is Elegancy, Beauty and Exclusivity.

  • SUCK IT U ENGLISH PRICK, EVEN WITH 4 PEOPLE IN PORSCHE HE TOOK U FROM BEHIND IN U´R PATHETIC ASTON

  • @Zuka75 Too bad the aston is ten times better looking and more fun to drive

  • @aaandy141 hahahaha , keep on dreaming, stay behind and eat my dust lol

  • @Zuka75 What an absurd creature you are. Who cares if the Aston is 1 second slower to sixty than the Porsche. Do you not think if speed was the Aston's ultimate goal, they could've fitted with all sorts of devices, given it more hp, and have it as fast as the Porsche? But speed isn't the ultimate goal with Aston Martin. It's luxury, class, and exclusivity. If speed is all you want go pick up a shitty ricer GTR that'll blow the fucking doors off your Porsche.

  • the Porsche is not ugly your ugly.

  • he has to be more passionate about the cars..

  • i realy dnt get it !! can someone tell me who can someone deslike these 2 cars ??? 63 ppl didnt like theme !!are they retarded or what ??

  • id take the porsche.i mean,whats the point of buying a 4 door aston if the rear space is small ?

  • The Aston is a good looking car with no power and bad handling. Maby in Aston you will have fun until you will be overtaken by the porsche.

  • i like aston martin cars but not this rapide

  • When James Bond settles down and has a family, he will drive an Aston Martin Rapide.

  • Automatic gearbox?

    Am I right in saying: epic failure?

  • def. Porsche but it was somehow clear to me, that he would say Aston. And what i never will believe is that the Astons interior is better that the Porsch. Complete fail to me!

  • porsche is much better including the cheaper price

  • I feel like his opinion is biased. British love the Aston Martin over Porsche alot of times because it is a British car. I personally find the Porsche much prettier of a car.

  • @h2kDotheDU I completely agree, ofcourse a Brit will back the Aston over a German auto. Typical Aston Martin, all looks no balls.. You cant go wrong with either one though.

  • @h2kDotheDU the panamera is ugly as shit!

  • @NottinghamForest22 its not hehe, if u see it in person u will change ur mind !! it beautiful car

  • @NottinghamForest22 its not hehehe :)

  • Porsche over the failbirth Aston EVERYDAY !!!

  • Aston is ofc beautiful no doubt, but Panamera is very good looking as well. Performance wise, Aston is no where near to Porsche.

  • قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لأن أقول : سبحان الله ، والحمد لله ، ولا إله إلا الله ، والله أكبر , أحب إلي مما طلعت عليه الشمس

  • he is one ugly fuck

  • This guy is boring. I wish Top Gear would do the shootout

  • @AHMADF93 Top Gear has reviewed both of these cars.

  • if there had been 3 fat people dancing to numa numa in the porsche... the rapide might've won.

  • DID HE SAID THE PORSCHE IS UGLY LOL? HE IS UGLY MAN

  • @stevotn The Aston Martin is ugly...Porsche is on point in my opinion.

  • Why is it that many almost everyone thinks the panamera is ugly? It's simply beautiful(so is the Aston),and it isn't very expensive compared to other saloons.These guys should have brought the Maserati Quattroporte here too,that is an ugly saloon car ...!

  • Isn't it ironic that of the 149,000+ views only a few can really afford it?

    Why waste our time .. we can use it to make money you know...

  • I prefer panamera

  • I say it before i will say it again Porsche with 4 people on board Kill Rapide with only driver on bord end of story!

  • I have yet to see a Rapide in action. Aston Martin buyers still seem to fancy the V8 Vantage and if they're dropping about $200K, the DB9 seems to be the preference. Lots of DB9s and Vantages, no Rapides so far.

  • the panamera is beautiful in real life videos do not do it justice, but i think the aston is still better looking because thats how astons are

  • @DocHavoc0512 i dnt agree :) the panamera look much better :)

  • I want one

  • the problem of the panamera is that he looks on pictures and videos a little bit ugly

    but so real he looks absolutly great

  • Umm...the Panamera is actually affordable in the V6 or V8 form..the aston is not.

  • @v2ds

    Yes, but you can't get the AM with a puny V6 or V8, the AM has a mighty V12.

  • Aston Martin's are the must beautiful cars on the planet.

  • Panamera is Quicker, more Place on the Rearseats and much better Quality in the Interiour...

    And in my opinion its better looking, just look at the behind Doors of the Aston...Ugly as Hell...

    A Child would take the Aston, A Man would take the Panamera !!!

  • Panamera is a much better car. Rapide is sexy and sounds better.

  • A guy would choose the Panamera, a gentleman would choose the Rapide. The car you drive defines your taste. Personally i think the Panamera looks like a frog, whereas the Rapide is somehow a more practical version of the DB9, which is astonishing.

  • porsche is better !

    but design of the rapide is more beautiful !

  • both great cars !

  • never ever compare german to english cars,the english never ever make a great cars, yes it could be good looking, u could like it when u drive it one or two times, but not more than that, if u r talking about quality driving or details germans are th best

  • @mishal2003

    yes!!!! german cars is great compared to cheap ass plastic english cars

  • 57 people work at Porsche

  • 0-100km/h in 4.6s in the wet fully loaded with passengers = a car that is just bullshit fast. it takes off faster than the rapide, keeps going harder and stops better with *4* full size adults in the car. and yet somehow the porsche isn't the better car because it looks less pretty and the rapide goes sideways (slowly, wobbling its bum like a lunch lady all the while). okay then.

  • @gamsar speed doesn't matter to everyone. the overriding concern should be quality, and that's where the Aston pwns. And it's sexier. And it's more luxurious. And it still has pretty decent performance. Game over.

  • i choose both FTW

  • he cheapest rapide is double the price of the most expensive Panamera.

    panamera ANY day.

  • For Racing I choose the Pan and for being driven in the Pide.

  • Panamera looks better, nicer Interiour and its quicker > The Aston isnt a bad car, but my Decision is clear the Panamera !!! Any Day !!!

  • Panamera is the better car but its fucking ugly.

  • Look on the dash. On the Aston there is no red line or the red thingy on the rev dial, yet the Porsche does. That just comes to show that you, as the driver, are a part of the car. It gives you the sensation in your spine of when to shift gear. And with that, is pure amazement.

  • Twin turbo vs Naturally Aspirated HP. What did you expect? Isn't the Panamera TT?

  • Always go for the/a Porsche ... always ... you will NOT regret

  • So Aston has the quality feel that Porch doesn't have. hm. now "I'd rather consider you being a fuckin idiot than this being a true"..Since when is Porch not quality built!? LOL Panamera is greater in every single way. More spacious, faster and more comfy. I wonder just how much Aston paid this dude to say such a fucking stupid thing.

  • @kagolko

    I guess you don't like to drive cars then, rather the computer to do it for you...

  • @kagolko what a fucking joke! Aston shits on the porsche. maybe its more spacious and faster, but the Aston is more exclusive, it sounds better, its a hell of a lot classier, and whereas the panamera looks like a cockroach had sex with a frog, the Rapide looks like one of the sexiest cars since the 250 GTO. i wonder how much porsche paid YOU to say such a fucking stupid thing.

  • @TheUberPlayboy - you wank on Astons. so why would I bother about what do you say.

  • @kagolko I notice you didn't dispute any of my point, porsche-wanker

  • @TheUberPlayboy - I did. it's just that you wank on Aston every day. your only argument is that Aston is more classy. hm. and FYI I don't fancy Porch. it's just that I'm amazed how corrupted this asshole is.

  • @kagolko if you just want speed get a shitty gtr or a shelby 500, its quality that really matters, and yes, classiness. and i dont dislike all porsches, just this ugly shitbox. and who are you refferring to as an asshole

  • weird thing that i noticed, the tac on the aston goes the opposite way ... it seemed a bit distracting to me. Was it something you found bothersome or was it not really a factor?

  • im in love with the panamera, i dont really care how cute and classy the rapide is...porsche is better!

  • That guy has an awesome job driving those cars and couldn't look more bored if he tried! I am so jelous of what he gets to do, at least smile or someting :)

  • the battle of sedans = battle of rich families who have racy kinds of dads.

  • 5.6 seconds? That is slow as fuck. It seems like Aston Martin's always lose a lot of power between the engine and wheels.

  • mercedes benz cls 63 amg (modell 2011 new)

  • masserati qautroporte ss?

  • brits buy Aston... rest of the world buy Porsche!

  • I have to say that the Porsche is a car for a family, its bigger and have more space in the back. Now if its just you and your girl/boyfriend chose the Aston, but if you still want a porsche and don't have a family, better chose the 911 Turbo, its the same price of Panamera Turbo ( $ 135,500.00 ) and even faster.

  • the porsche is not ugly.

  • Aston Martins are for ugly people who need a car to make them look better.
