No idea why they've chosen to launch the car in Iceberg White against a white background but it looks lovely.

I do look at it and think Chrysler 300c which is a shame as I'm sure it's a technically very good car. I think the problem with Rolls Royce is they show no imagination. Being built on a bespoke spaceframe they could be be far more avant-guard but instead they just do slab sided saloons and their London Taxi model.

It's called evolution. VW Group have been doing it for years  There's something about the head-on view that reminds me of a film or cartoon character grinning evilly. Maybe Jack Nicholson in The Shining but I'm not sure. Either that or Tom cat when he thinks he's got Jerry cornered.... |

The head on view is reminiscent of something from the early 90s Batman cartoon, the very gothic Art Deco esque one. |

White with a white interior. You'd need several servants just to keep it clean and hoover the sand out. And in the UK nothing says slightly dodgy businessman with an ageing permatan wife, both of them a bit wrinkly now as they spend too much time at their Spanish villa, than a white Roller. The article talks about the longer rear overhang being a RR" thing" and then there is no photo of it so we can't see if we think it looks OK or like its arse is hanging out of its trousers so as to speak. It's clearly a beautifully made vehicle and I'm sure it will be as successful or more than the first Ghost. |

I'm sure it will sell perfectly well and slab sided seems almost a trademark.

Will be far more tasteful in a dark colour. It's a yes from me. Edit: a quick configuration    |

Of course it does!
Are these, and the one on the Skoda thing, potentially a massive distraction to other road users in poor light and at night?
I thought there'd be a safety concern.
