The Cullinan is basically for rich soccer moms to lord over the other soccer moms that were only able to afford Bentaygas, Range Rovers or G-Wagens. LOL

Chris Harris is great - probably my favourite car journalist/reviewer - both for his ability to convey the feeling of driving cars I can only dream of, and for the 'purity' of his reviews; no badge snobbery or pandering to powerful brands (quite the opposite). Of course, journalistic honesty is aided by working for a show that makes its money through global popularity rather than advertising - I hope Chris translates well!
