I know this sounds stupid but I like the look of the Bentley more :S

I think the betley looks better too, but i dont like either cuz wind and other ambient noises and coldness is not my idea of luxury, these are most definitely posing cars.

A properly built luxury convertiable, even one with a soft top, is neither noisey or cold.

Go take a ride in a XK8 converitable sometime even an older one from the late 90's is very quiet inside. The current XK8 is even quieter inside then the old one.

Ops, sorry.

Not sure my self. I'll reserve judgement but not an immediate Wow for me. Someone with more money than sense should take it around the ring for a laugh - I'd love to see that!

my thoughts exactly.. looking at them pics, i wonder where the sail goes.

i mean, why the split colour of hood to body, all a bit ricey. then again i gota see it in real life, ill be waiting at the marinas then images/smilies/lol.gif

I don't think ricey is the right term to describe a Rolls Royce.

TheCleaner · January 2nd, 2007, 7:44 PM

yeah i admit thats very harsh, but i think for a car like this, i wouldnt expect to see it. I guess seeing it mainly executed on the need-for-speed 'modded' cars i relate it to tackyness.

thats the only thing i though was ricey about it mind, haha, but i maintain that its interior reminds me of a yacht

Buktu · January 3rd, 2007, 8:30 PM

It's horrible. I really think it's very ugly.. I'd much rather have the hardtop version.

That teak wood is just tacky.. :/

+ Google Video

Looks a bit weird in blue... And doesn't seem to have any rear legroom. Isn't this pretty much the car that Rolls Royce said they will never make?

Gotta love that beautifully made bonnet though images/smilies/smile.gif

thedguy · January 6th, 2007, 10:59 PM

It is kind of sad how little rear leg room is in that car considering how big it is, and the kind of people that usually buy a Roller (would probably prefer to be in back).

Aren't these cars also supposed to be silent?

Turturelo · January 7th, 2007, 11:54 AM

^ in two door convertible .. at the back seat? Really?

Definately need refueling - that's for sure!

thedguy · January 7th, 2007, 9:31 PM

Didn't dawn on me it was only a 2 door. I always associate Rolls with limos and rich guys who can't be bothered to drive themselves a round.

bartboy9891 · January 7th, 2007, 9:38 PM

the doors are cool
