No one can bull$hit like Rolls Royce designers and marketing people. So many useless pieces of information. This video makes me not ever wanna be in a conversation with a RR owner.

[@kalpamonx]

Exactly what I was thinking. They overuse everything down to the words that they use to describe anything. It just screams pretentious and fake, which we know anyone buying a $500,000 car already is. If the buyer cared about luxury only without the pretentiousness, they'd just buy a $120,000 S-Class or something similar.

[@deez8202]

@@kalpamonx Honestly I think that throwing money at a maybach sedan or a cadillac eldorado, BMW I7, chrysler imperial hell even a Toyota Century. Is so much more worth the money than what a Rolls Royce will ever even be in comparison. They are kind of mediocre when it comes to providing things that makes them stand out with their luxury cars. And honestly their whole mentality to make their brand ''special'' and not being able sell your RR Spectre whenever you want is just stupid.

Right, ok. So... Lots to unravel here. Everything is fine, APART FROM THOSE HIDEOUS FRONT INTAKES!!! WHY ARE THEY ANGLED?! NOTHING ELSE IS ANGLED! Is that why the DRLs look so sad? I mean, they invoke the styling of the Phantom, but put them a pit further outwards. But seriously, those angled intakes look horrendous! Just make them square, or rectangular, or slats, or anything but this! Here's the fix. Take the lower middle intake's top line, stretch it over the two side intakes which makes it three rectangles. This leaves quite a bit of open and dull real estate. Take the Pantheon grille and stretch it further down, creating more of an imposing look and covering some ground. Get rid of the angles and have everything purely vertical and horizontal. Come on people! It's not that difficult! I love BMW, but keep the over-angled-ness out of RR.
