I do not get the "bad taste" comments, surely it is just - not to your taste? "That looks awful to me" and not "that should look awful to everyone"?
Well i suppose looking on the bright side if there are those out there who like the look of this then there's always a chance of a shag for the ugly amongst us...........................................
Ugly (to me) people marry other Ugly (to me) people all the time.

David Walliams chat up line is "luckily for you I have decided to 'go ugly' early in the evening"

Isn't this one of the Nissan ones not a black cab?

Just awful looking outside, and that yellow inside, well. Alloy wheels look like flowers,

I work near the RR site and have seen many iterations / colour combos of these.

This is by far the best, but probably still hideously cumbersome to look at in person.

I am also slightly biased because none of the RR test drivers know how to negotiate a roundabout or use their indicators which really winds me up.

Fine in a Bimmer (ok not fine but still), but when you're effectively UK aristocracy in car format, it makes the whole thing that much more embarrassing.

Pfft, I would show the utmost decorum if I got one, and definitely would deck it out in Fake Taxi wrap and take it to Le Mans to show just how peasanty/ council I could be wink

I have no doubt the interior is beautifully appointed and beautifully made but, my, those yellow accents are a bit sudden!

Well, the outside isn't exactly tasteful, but that, sadly, seems to be the way of things now. On the inside, the carbon is lovely, but that yellow leather is totally out of place. It cheapens it, despite it being high quality.

Can't help feeling they should have subcontracted their SUV out to Lamd Rover so you would have a "Range Rover 'by Rolls-Royce' - you know, a Range Rover but with a Rolls interior and fittings. Charge an extra £100k on top of a Range Rover.

It would have saved a hell of a lot of embarrassment than this fat taxi.
