Aston Martin to Unveil Rapide at NY Auto Show

I may have to trade in my Maserati.

Sorry--that should be:  I would possibly have to trade in my Maserati if I owned a Maserati so that I might buy the new Aston Martin Rapide, if only I could afford an Aston Martin Rapide, which I clearly cannot.  But a guy can dream.

The 2010 stunner gets its US debut at the New York Auto Show starting March 31, and you might want to buy your Metro-North tickets now--this one's going to attract a crowd.  Are you sitting down?  Here are the specs:

The Rapide boasts a 5.9 liter V12.  Result:  470 horsepower at 6000 rpm and a full 443 foot pounds of torque.  And she doesn't come cheap.  Sticker price will be something on the order of $199,950, meaning I might just stick with my Quattroporte after all.  (I mean, my imaginary Maserati, that is)
