Yeah a hybrid Rapide is definetely better than a diesel.. I love diesels to death but they just don’t suit sportscars.

Oh and Astonman: Magna Steyr is in Austria, not Switzerland.

I think a hybrid Rapide is a good idea. It only seems logical that they would choose Mercedes-Benz because Aston has their engines built in Cologne, Germany and the Rapide will be built my Magna-Steyr in Switzerland. Who knows, maybe in one of the next Bond movies, he will be showing his Earth-friendliness by driving an Aston Martin hybrid! haha.

At least they’ll be somewhat different. Everyone else seems to be jumping on the diesel bandwagon. I don’t like the idea of a diesel Aston.

Hybrid might work for Rapide as its a 4dr Sedan… it kinda makes sense?
