Ok, I am a RR nut, but, this is the first time that RR has completely lossed me. It doesn't look anything like a RR at all. If it were for the flying lady it could be a really nice Hyundai.

No offense, but there is nothing Hyundai about this car.
I mean, it isn't a Phantom. Baby Phantom if anything.
Jon 2:12PM (2/19/2009)
Hmmmm...I wonder if the V-12 offered here will be similar to the one in the upcoming V-12 7 series

My bet is the engine is derived from the 3.0 inline 6 motor that BMW is putting in everything right now.
Flashpoint 5:44PM (2/19/2009)
I like this more than the Phantom. They should give it an MSRP of $200,000 so they can move them faster - I suggest a Twin Turbo v8.
I can only imagine how many Chrysler 300's are gonna be modded to look like this.

Looks like a Hyundai...LOLOLOL

whats up with the new name for the phantom? It's called the 200EX now? Phantom sounded better.
/sarcasm.

Saw that...which is why I said it.

Actually there's a lot of Mitsuoka Galue in there, esp the interior. As usual, Bentley has nothing to fear from this even tackier feeling rolls. It's such an odd position for BMW to defend, closer to Bentley in money and substantially cheaper looking and feeling (if it holds given the current look and feel of the Rolls interiors vs the Brooklands et-al), I'm not sure Rolls will be able to capture as much of those Nouveau riche dollars they've sold some of their integrity to pursue. Let's be honest, this is a move down market, it’s is an attempt to capture the Paris Hilton dollar, and in that demographic I'm not sure this abomination will be able to trade solely on the brand's coat tails.
Every time cars like this emerge, I thank God VW did such an outstanding job with Bentley.
Quattroporte 3:01PM (2/19/2009)
Somewhat related to what zamafir was saying, the interior has a mass-produced look to it.
chad.dawkins 3:56PM (2/19/2009)
It is supposed to cost as much, if not more than the Phantom. To the person saying it's moving "down market" to the Paris Hilton price bracket. Isn't Paris worth like $40 million? That would be the exact group of people they're trying to hit.
zamafir 4:15PM (2/19/2009)
"That would be the exact group of people they're trying to hit. "
Yup, and unfortunately you fialed to hit my point, the issue is, Bentley already sells quite well in this demographic and produces a car which feels more expensive than this without being more expensive than this. yes a few producers will buy it, but In these times, I'm not convinced BMW can put a massive dent in Bentley's sales, unless this is a pre-production hyundai knock off...
wait... no... no... the new hyundai looks less cheap inside... nm. Yet another one for the biblically awful pile.

Rover 75 anyone?
