Rolls-Royce launches configurator for 200EX/Ghost
Looking for a spectacularly useless way to waste some time? Online car configurators are one of our favorites. You can sit for an hour or more playing with different color combinations and options on a car you're never going to buy, and have absolutely nothing to show for it when you're done. The most alluring are the configurators for the most exclusive European exotica, but typically automakers don't launch these until the car's on the market, or at least has been unveiled in production form. Rolls-Royce, however, has evidently decided to jump the (nickel-plated, mother-of-pearl-handled) gun in putting online a configurator for the 200EX, the concept car that previewed the upcoming Ghost model at the Geneva show this past March.
Labeled the "visualizer", the utility is available for all your distracting, time-wasting needs on the 200EX mini-site. There you can play around with different color and trim choices inside and out, right down to the "silver satin bonnet". Enjoy, but don't come complaining to us when you haven't gotten any work done.

It looks better if hundreds of slaves are dragging it down the road instead of being pull by a single BMW turbo engine.

Does anyone else think the color palette is a tad limited?

True true, I love the Maserati configurator. I even registered only to waste more of my time with additional options.

Pah, everyone knows you can have a Rolls in any-color-you-like and none of my preferences are even in there. Ferrari at least offers a wide palette for its California configurator... I think im gonna pop down to Ferrari of Hinsdale in a bit just to ogle one.

Wow, this looks so much better without the "satin silver bonnet"
I'd pick dark blue. Shame there's such a limited palette.

My first thought was "Why does this article have a picture of a Chrysler 300?"

if Chrystler restyled the 300 to look like this i will be the first one at the dealer paying full price and dealer mark-up for it
but as it stands the 300 compared to this is like a bad chinese knock off design

My first thought was 200C, but it looked a little big.

I think that this car is gonna sell better because it looks so much better that the current Roll-Royce phantom . I really think that this car is a lot better and more stylish and has an overall better appearance inside and out. I like how it has a futuristic look.
