I saw one of the new Rolls Royces last night for the first time, heading north on the A10 through Enfield.
It actually looks better on the road than in pictures. Quite well proportioned and doesn't really look any bulkier than a Range Rover.
But I still don't understand who on earth will buy them. Third world dictators will buy Maybachs instead, and the Rolls is too ostentatious for everyone else.
Any suggestions?

Now I am probably alone here but I love it!
Its absolutely fantastic that in this age of visually impaired one armed lesbian muslim yoghurt knitters that a car company can produce something so truly uneccesary.
Its a triumph of capitolism and the umbrella in the back door is just the best innovation since Rolls worked out where the ideal place for an ashtray is.
We need more cars like the Phantom, with bigger engines and more gadgets. Vive la revolution!

Admittedly the Rolls is a neater storage solution.
Various Nissan sunny gti-rs have had an umbrella in the door for years i seem to recall.

I like it too - much better than that vulgar german thing, what is it? Maywest? I mean, if I wanted a stretched S class do I want to spend £250K on it? Mmm, no Roller has something special and the new one seems to work. Though the front headlights seem a little odd, though like most things they probably grow on you.

Yep, only to protect them from the leaks though.
