A bit restrained for Bertone, but lovely.

It's 5 doors!!
I like that. They should make that instead of the Rapide S.
I like the interior too - apart from the wooden bits!! rolleyes A nod back to 1953 I guess.

Isn't this to do with shooting brake vs estate cars?

Estate = 5 door, shooting brake = 3 door.

Looks better than the 90s Vantage estate. I still prefer the normal Rapide though.

Again, another Aston that should have been from the get-go.

Alot more space in the back for the passengers, decent boot space and gets away from that rather "hunchback DB9" look of the current Rapide.

If that verion had been on the market for the last two years, i'd be buying said 2yr.o now as a snotter to transport the GF/GF's couture shopping around with most of the depreciation spun off.

Aston Martin would sell those by the bucket load. It looks truly fabulous and bang up to date. They must build it!

Very good.
That would replace my Alfa Sportwagon nicely!
You could use it for tip runs.
