i am driving a QP and it's styling is very Armani... whereas the Aston DB9 which the Rapide is based on, is very Prada and Gucci. I will have to see the Rapide to see how well it proportions. The V8 and the DB9 is very well designed. The QP is much cheaper than the DB9 and the Rapide; so there is definitely room for a V12 Royale.
Aston ,while pretty,is again made from the same mold as the rest of them. Soon ,it will be really difficult to tell them apart. Back seats are tiny,when compared to QP.
most of the general public cannot tell apart a F430 to a F360; or a 996 to a 997, or a 545i to a M5. any enthusiast can tell these astons apart. yes, they are styled similarly, but the proportions are totally different if you actually see them in person.
a 545 and M5 are especially hard to tell apart imo for the general public...its too bad that the owners of the M5 wont get more cred for buying them...althought im sure they dont care...lol
