I think I'd rather have the Chinese take on a luxury SUV, the Hongqi HS9. The Rolls looks bloody awful, I actually thought it was some sort of joke/far East rip off when I saw the pic.
Both demonstrate how hard it is to make something that big, bulky and blocky look even halfway good. FFRRs seems to be about as good as can be hoped for, and the most positive adjectives that can hope for is something measured like "handsome" - go up a scale and there are only horrors - HS9, Wagoneer, and this.

But yes they are very colour and spec dependent!
I probably need help...
I agree (on both points ). The first Cullnan I ever saw was a two tone version, the upper part was a very light blue, the lower was silver. It had quite a presence about it. Like numerous people have mentioned, the issue is with the black/black/black which does the car no favours.But yes they are very colour and spec dependent!

Ultimately the owner is on the inside looking out; so what the car actually looks like outside is of little/no consequence to them.

This reminds me of those Amazonian fish that tunnel into people's genitals in that I'm unlikely to spend much time around them but I'd still be measurably happier if they didn't exist.

TBF, the big Hongqi looks a lot better in the metal than that picture would suggest - it's lower and longer than the lic looks, proportioned more like the Velar to my eyes. One was parked next to me when I did the school run. Looks good in two-tone... Julian Scott said:

What a perfect spec for the UAE!
Biggest market for Cullinan is USAraspy said:

I was in Abu Dhabi yesterday. Trust me, they love these (and every other expensive SUV / 4x4). They're perfectly suited to the wide roads, cheap fuel and low tax.
The white paint on the outside perfectly suits the desert, and the inside makes it a bit more interesting. I don't actually mind this spec, it's a bit more interesting than black / black / black.
I’m sure they do, but the biggest market is the USA followed by China. The white paint on the outside perfectly suits the desert, and the inside makes it a bit more interesting. I don't actually mind this spec, it's a bit more interesting than black / black / black.

White on the outside and lime green inside? I'm not trying to be fashionably "I hate that", but white screams povvo, lowest monthlies, whilst the lime green is just... tasteless. What about dark green outside and tan inside? Even black on black would be more attractive.
And average age 43? Well that just lets me know I've failed in life, then.
