I guess this is not a petrol car. I guess it is on a petrol station only for disguise reasons! Did you notice that in both pictures the petrol tap is not in use???!!! I guess this is a electro-Car! :-D

I have to disagree with this statement "hugely competitive market against the likes of the Porsche Panamera, VW Passat CC, Audi A7 and Mercedes CLS" to be honest the only direct contender is the Porsche Panamera, as even the CLS can only match it image wise with the AMG versions, not to mention that the VW Passat is at a totally different end of the market!

It might look like a DB9, because basically it IS a DB9. The taillights look a bit boring though. Could have spiced it up a bit with the DBS' styling cues. This one looks very streched - which is something I like. The quattroporte, to me, is a completely different car, sportier and armed with a bit more ferocity.

It looks boring and lacks the appeal of the MB's CLS or the Maserati Quatropporte. I expected a more compelling design from Aston Martin.

and what other car should that be? yes, it looks more like a fourdoor-DB9 then an outstanding car, but I definitly a fan of the sexy roofdesign! I whould'n compare it with Passat too. But maybe with a Quattroporte. Both are Sportscars and luxurysedans in one car

Looking at the way the door handles and frames are disguised I'd say this is going to be a pillarless design with suicide rear doors like the Mazda RX8.

The Quattroporte isn't a 4-door CoupÃƒÂ©, eventhough an eventual V12 version could be a potential rival for the Rapide, CLS AMG, Panamera, Audi S7(?), 8-Series, etc...
