The 137th edition of evo magazine arrived at GoodCarBadCar Towers yesterday, and to the surprise and delight of The Good Car Guy, somebody finally quit comparing the Porsche Panamera to the not-yet-released Aston Martin Rapide and compared it with its direct rivals. You can tell by the number of words in today's first sentence that, around here, assuming Porsche's competition is from the much more expensive 4-doors at Aston Martin and Lamborghini (Estoque), is near anathema. Regardless, a genuine performance comparo was hosted by evo, and the laptimes around Bedford Autodrome's West Circuit did dazzle.
