The ultimate in luxury just got more luxurious?

I know PH tends to have strong feelings on the dilution of brands. Thoughts?

Yuk

I reckon they've just out blinged every other 4x4!

I quite like it, in a way that I know is totally unacceptable...

Reminds me of the Silver Shadow shooting brakes

That's just weird. Four rings on the front and it'd pass for an A6 Avant.

[backwoodsman]

I like it

It's been done before though:





So there is an appeal for the (very) well heeled to potter around their country pile.

Thats a nice Rover. Not sure about the RR grill.

It Looks like a Volvo!

That's just an Auto Express-esque "artist's rendition" so probably is a cut and shut of a Q7, XC90, and a RR grille on the front. As other posters have said Rolls have often built cars for driving around in fields in the past, so it's not really that much of a leap.

Are you suggesting that the current crop of RRs are 'completely overrated crap'?

[fatboy69]

Horrendous.

Stupid photoshop picture aside, if you don't follow (or listen to) the market you end up like Aston Martin which generally involves a creek and a paddle.

JLR took forever to (eventually) realise this and BMW realise there are only so many saloon and coupes you can make in a market dominated by SUV and crossovers so are testing the waters.

I think it actually looks alright, and if they've made record for 4 years running, you can't blame them for making a SUV, after all they are a business.
