Comon, it's the coolest luxury monster out there! Fully of cool and useless gadgets like the center of the wheels, the flying lady that can hide when needed, effortless performance...

Pretty cool. It is a very impressive car to see in person and it is much better looking than the Arnage. But I think I may take a Maybach 62 over it.

Almost cool, some cool features for sure, but somehow again leaves me feeling a bit cold, just like most German takeover cars :bah: All to clinical and perfect and I get the same feeling with this sadly Not enough chrome and stuff either Still If i wanted such a car I'd probably pick this

Let me be the first to differ ... ugly piece of shit.

You know how you see photos of some questionable looking cars and then you see it in the flesh and think its not that bad. (E.g. Ferrari Enzo). But the Phantom has not redeeming features. Its a disgrace to the distinguished line of cars with that hallowed name.

From the inside though, the car is all you would want from a luxury motor car. I wish the old coachbuilding days were back again .. If I had the beans to buy the car, I would take the chassic from RR and ship it to someone else for a tasteful body

Extremely uncool in my book. BTW - I have the same opinion of a Maybach also

I saw this car in person for the first time the other night...and it looks incredible! the only thing I can say against it...is that it has the idrive from BMW..which I dont really think belongs on a Rolls

Uncool. I don't like phantom, it is ugly. My favourite RR is Park Ward. And I think maybach is uncool too
