Titolo: 2008 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe

Rolls is also unlike any other car on the road. And significantly, the
Drophead Coupé more accurately captures the spirit of Rolls-Royce than
any of that company's efforts in the last four decades...

Not really a load of crap but who here would buy one - They make then up the
road from me and see 1 or 2 every day. Actually in real life they are quite ugly
and so is the real RR and the limo - the VW Bentley looks nicer but still a
bloody BARGE. The new one is really a re-bodied BMW 760 V12

 cosi'

LOL....nome a rischio....avevo letto Dropdead!!!

AND?  What an UGLY looking car. With all the BMW expertise and UK designers RR
are still pandering to the Chinless wonders with more money than sense or style.
With that sort of cash - 250K GB pounds or $500K US there are prettier, smoother
and logical cars about.  This isn't about engineering as it has basically the
same underpinnings as my 7 series it's about stupidity.
I have owned several RR and the best was the last Shadow especially for looks,
practicality and usability.  I was in the "trade" so don't think rich bastard
down in the world and sour grapes.
No - RR are really UGLY in the flesh.

 What an UGLY looking car
Right!

 rich bastard down in the world and sour grapes.
The six cylinder Cloud or Bentley S1 was IMHO the best looking standard
bodied R-R ever - and the last before they complicated things with servo
everything. So an ideal car for the enthusiast to maintain at home. It was
also the first model with power steering so perfectly suitable for modern
use. But the market realises this - Shadows can be bought for pennies but
a Cloud will cost serious money.
Oh - I agree the present Rolls and Bentley are positively hideous, the lot
of them. They seem to be designed to look imposing, and that's something
that never works.

I thought they stopped using BMW V12 engines because they had to be thrashed 
quite hard to drag all that metal around...
