This car does not resemble a brick at all.
The squarest car on our roads would have to be a range rover.

I thought I recognised that scenery; next time take it through wollongong uni and I might catch a glimpse of it.
And Ben im pretty sure that plastics comment was tongue in cheek (right?)

Deco, they don’t have to change any thing because it is a rolls Royce and they are prefect and all the comments about the bad plastic on the dash I bet it’s a thousand times better then any other car

Hey guys,

I once took the V8 Vantage for a test drive, and before I did, I was asked to sign an insurance waiver. There was no desk in sight to sign it, however there was a Rolls Phantom. The salesman just said…”Yeah sign in on the hood” I thought he was kidding…he wasn’t. I was very nervous signing a document on the hood of a million dollar car.

Adam.

still wouldn’t be as comfortable as the ride in the back seat of a hindustan ambassador – the most comfortable rear seat in the world

Always reminds me of Lady Penelope’s car from the Thunderbirds. Must be why I love the looks so much.

Alex is right – Being a Roller its got to look like a brick because if it didn’t look like a brick it wouldn’t look like a Roller would it? ….and what a mighty powerful German engineered brick it is!

What the hell is wrong with the people commenting here? You don’t buy a Rolls Royce based on fuel economy or resale value.
This car is in a league of it’s own and I really do love it. I don’t think it looks that great but I think how a Rolls Royce looks is more about presence than being beautiful. It couldn’t have beautiful swoopy lines and still look like if you went to close to it it might kill you. It needs to look like a brick. I think it carries it off wonderfully. And the interior is just perfect. There will be people who don’t think it looks good but I think that most will agree that this is the perfect interior for a Rolls Royce. In reality, this is another one of those cars like the Mini and the Beetle that has taken many cues from previous models and that interior is just so characteristic of a Rolls Royce. And so very comfortable.
Don’t insult this car until you have experienced it. I once borrowed one from a friend’s father for a weekend and drove it from London to Cornwall to Oxfordshire to Brighton and then back to London and it was one of the best drives I have ever driven. Up until then I just used to think they were ugly wastes of spaces. It was just unbelievably quiet and comfortable. I’d buy one if they weren’t so noticeable. There are some very good value used ones in the UK. It’s also the only car that I have ever had on UK roads that soaked up EVERYTHING and not once on any B Road did I feel that I would waft off into a ditch. You really aren’t paying for the badge here. They are as well if not better engineered than a GT3.
The only thing that I don’t like about this one is the colour of the lower bumpers. It reminds me of the gold bumpers that some Subarus have. They look best in dark blue or dark green.

This car would cruise the city not hwy so its urban consumption according to http://www.rolls-roycemotorcars.com is 25l/100km. Also according to Redbook the average millage for a 5 year old one of these is 50,000 – 90,000km and you would have bought it for $935K in 2004 and now it is worth $340k. It must feel good to loose $600k in 5 years. That is at best $7 lost per kilometer driven, never mid the fuel, rego, insurance and Luxury car tax :)

To quote Arnie in Predator “You are one ugly motherf#@ker”.

I hate everything about it. It looks like a brick on wheels that would just suck down the juice.

Toxic Horse – Are you serious??? Where are the cheap plastics? I can only see wood, leaether and metal.

Danman2, the car which sold the least would be the Maybach. Heaps of Rolls get sold.
