Why do you get so defensive / angry when 'this nonsense' is mentioned?

What is their best-selling model then? With cold hard facts to back it up, of course.

I haven't seen anything to the contrary of the Rapide being their best seller to be honest... have you? Not many V8/V12 Vantages and old shape DB9s/Virages sold and of course the V12VR, 310quish and DB9.2 wil hopefully have good figures when they're registered in March. In the meantime, is it so painful to imgine AML might be selling more Rapides? confused
I would just like to stop this spreading of tall tales which have no basis on anything other than by a single post by one person on this forum (Zod). I don't have to prove which is their best selling model...the posters who insist that they know the Rapide is the best selling model need to back up their claim.

A beauty, much better than the Rapide (ugly). It is like with the Panamera (ugly) and the Sport Turismo (beauty).

Tbh matey, most things you say ARE correct.

Not sure about the accusation either that you keep repeating this claim over and over - I must have gone awol when you were doing that scratchchin

I think you have it backwards...

If someone states something to be true, then back it up, otherwise it is that person who is being dogmatic, basing their claim of faith alone...

More alleged facts - in a recent telegraph article the Rapide was referred to as Aston's second best selling car! It did not say which was the top seller - presumably the junior Aston

If AM produce this car they will surely have a winner on their hands. My understanding is that the Rapide is now their best selling model to add a shooting brake version would only add to its success. I am not having a go at anyone but what is not to like? Plus if you own an Aston Martin surely you want the firm to succeed.
C'mon Rob....you know better than that.

Zod posted up the Rapide claim a while back and was never able to produce verification when questioned on this point.

As for liking it......is everyone that dislikes the Cygnet to be labelled as anti-AM ?? wink
I read it in Evo or Car, but can't find the issue. GIven the number driving around London these days, it's not entirely surprising to me.
