RE: Rolls-Royce Cullinan: Driven

[subirg]

My eyes my eyes.... what the hell is that?! Looks like my kids toy cars. Only more ugly. It’ll sell like hot cakes. To utterly stupid American rap artists. Jeeze I need a drink.

[oldtimer2]

The first place RR will look for buyers will be existing owners. They know they have the desire and they have the means. If they already own the limo for London, the Dawn for the summer why not complete a hat trick with the Cullinan for the country estate or the weekend shoot? For those owners it is an easy and obvious decision.

I’m afraid I’ve not bothered reading other replies, but my six-penn’th worth is that the front looks like a London black cab, although the rear 3/4 angle does look sort of half-reasonable (sorry for mixing fractions!)
Probably coming to ‘The X Factor’ and ‘Britains Got (No) Talent’ soon, wafting around some boy-band yoof who calls entrants much older than him ‘lad’.... You can’t buy class.

Here's a quick tip. It's not an 'off roader'. Isn't trying to be. Isn't marketed as such.

He didn’t say it was. He said it was a FAKE off roader.

What’s fake about this?

It's a FAKE aeroplane too.

BMW really know how to embody/parody (Take your pick) old British icons.

[Its Just Adz]

It's actually beginning to grow on me.
Yes it's vulgar, but it should be.
I love the old Rolls's used by the Maharajas in th desert, this follows the same "over the top" ideas.

[JMF894]

And I thought the Bentayga was ugly.

This is truely, unapologetically hideous.

Paint it black and the side profile is 100% London black cab ffs!

I have no issue with any manufacturer getting on the suv bandwagon as it is a total cash cow but jeeezuz have some pride in your product. Tangible quality aside that is utterly unforgiveable.

You know when BL put that grille on the Allegro......well I think RR may have done the same to a Range Rover

[Nik Gnashers]

I actually 'hate' it, and probably anyone who would drive one.
Bring on the abuse......

Forgive me, but are you talking about a Vanden Plas or was there a Riley / Wolseley version?

Why hate the driver?

I cannot look at this now without the allegro association. They’ve spent millions and millions and it has been undone by a single post on the internet.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Rolls Royce Vanden Plas.

You mean like footballers, oligarchs, sheiks and rappers are vulgar? You may have a point...

I really, REALLY can assure you that even if I could afford one I would still find it vomit inducing

I like it, I drive a Ffrr and if the funds allowed this would form one of my car fleet. It doesn’t have to be pretty and I will not go on anything more than a bumpy field (which I do a fair bit) the opulent feeling and lovely place to be would be enough for me. It wouldn’t be my only car but it fills a job and many, really wealthy people want to spend more and buy more exclusivety than you can buy for "just" £150k on a Range Rover

Are you saying that if you are very wealthy you go blind?

Yes it's odd isn't it. The more brash, tacky chrome and shiny bits the better. Designed for magpies? It's the same with houses at the moment in the UK. Looked at a show home last week as we're thinking about buying a place for the eldest daughter. Show home had been kitted out inside like what can only be described as a 'tart's boudoir'. Old fashioned frills, latticework, shiny chrome knobs, pointlessly shaped glass ornaments everywhere, plus an ornamental chandelier FFS - in a modern 2 bed house!

But it's only people that can't afford them that think they are vulgar. That says something, like to admit it or not.

Not the case. The majority of people who can afford an ‘ultra-luxury’ car choose for whatever reason not to have one. Or ten.

The penetration of super-expensive cars into the market of extremely wealthy people is very poor.

You can see the rich people who like them, they are by their very nature very visible. You can’t see the rest.

[corozin]

It sounds like it was named by a gynacologist.

[Odhran]

No doubt this will be a fantastic seller in the Middle East. Bentayga’s were certainly a common sight there as were other RR models so no reason why there isn’t room for a Cullinan.

[MalcolmSmith]

You know yes its vulgar, I wouldn’t be seen dead in it (unless they do a hearse) yes it does look like the XC90 based Taxi, but you know what, compared to the Bentayga, its a beauty.
