There's something about them that's incredibly ugly and there's something about them that's incredibly appealing.

That said, I'd love to drive around in one for a while and experience it. The sensation of things not really being a bother any longer must be utterly incredible.

Oh and magnesium dash structure.. woof.

Fastback never works on a big car.

They should have given up after the Rover 800.
Really? I think it's a properly handsome looking machine, by far the nicest shape Rolls have made.

One of those was 5th in the Supercar Shootout at Goodwood 65.05 seconds ... faster than a 675LT, 570S, P1 GTR & an Aston GT8!

A lot of that was down to the driver - a certain Justin Law. He punches well above his weight at Goodwood - every year he he's either at the top, or humbling much quicker stuff. Still a rapid time for a Rolls!

Parked outside a hotel I stayed in recently, looks a bit awkward from this angle and the door handles to the front are a bit odd. Think the owner scored it 10 out of ten.

I like them.

If I could afford one I’d be straight over to Rolls Royce for one.

I'd have a Dawn over a Wraith every time

Much more handsome and better proportioned.
