What Edmunds.com Says:Mercedes introduced the idea of a four-door coupe, but Aston may have perfected it with the Rapide.

What We Know: First shown at the Detroit auto show in concept form, the 2010 Aston Martin Rapide is now on its way to showrooms. Like Mercedes' CLS-Class, the Rapide is called a four-door coupe. Several elements of the elegant DB9 are apparent, such as the nose with its classic Aston grille, covered headlights and fender vents. The Rapide will use essentially the same 5,935cc V12 as the DB9. Output is expected to jump significantly, though, so expect to see the final number approaching 500 horsepower. The corporate ZF-built six-speed automatic transmission is the likely gearbox and it will send the power to the rear wheels. Expect to see the 2010 Aston Martin Rapide on sale next year.
