I honestly appreciate the way that you do car channels diffrent from other people. Other than saying "here's the car, its this trip and has this option and here's how it drivers" Its amazing the story, the heritage and the unique aspects you bring to your videos. and PLEASE more OPTIONS GAMES....

[@anthonydeluca6966]

This channel is so underrated. awesome video!

[@OM-mu1qt]

"i would go allll out.... maybe like a Beige...and a different shade of beige here... and a lighter beige or black"....... hahaha... watch out we got a badass here :p

[@dizzykfcman]

Sunroof, because you can see some real stars

[@MotoManTV]

flyingcow 32 VERY good point!

[@randomcarguy1656]

+MotoManTV you can have both if you want. Rolls will do that and according to my calculations (I am a car dealer myself), in the United States, you will be spending around 30,000$ extra for both together.

[@Alejo__]

Random Car Guy you can do it aftermath for much cheaper. Looks no different

[@innareddyp6172]

If you are watching real stars while you are driving, your car is going to crash buddy.

[@techo4Ugeeks]

[@KhalidAlkhwyter]

wonderful episode, kudos motoman you have one of the most entertaining and informative car shows I know of in youtube. I prefer the mulsanne v8 with the pushrods and enormous torque but overall the rolls has better ergonomics and interface.

[@targaflorio3239]

The product and the way it's manufactured IMO should never be mutually exclusive. One complements the other. Just like a fine Panerai watch.And a Latin speaking option in a car? Only Rolls. Another great episode MotoMan. Really enjoyed these reviews.

[@uww.v]

Headliner because according to me it's the most unique part of a Rolls Royce

[@colinr7670]

I drive rr ghost on weekends for a company in the uk and I think with out any doubt the best car in the world

[@marc1093280]

I like the Rolls a lot; the only advantage of the Mercedes Maybach S600 is that it makes a better daily driver.

[@cameronmcmaster266]

you get a roller, you get a driver.

[@marc1093280]

+Cameron Mcmaster Nah, I'd rather drive myself.

[@andresreyes5398]

+Cameron Mcmaster for a phantom yes for a ghost no this is a car you drive

[@P2nkzSB]

Depends on where you live as well. In some places the Rolls most def stands out more being more of a rare sight. An untrained eye doesn't make much difference between an S500 and the Maybach. ;)

[@randomcarguy1656]

well the merc is cheaper to buy, own, drive, insure. the merc is also a better driver's car like you said but it also has a quieter cabin than the rolls, believe it or not.

[@teklife8271]

THIS CAR IS SO BEAUTIFUL 😍🙏

[@enriquejardon1044]

Both are important, the product ii self and the way its made. I love the high quality in this kind of cars...simply AWESOME!!!

[@techo4Ugeeks]

Great review ,love the rolls

[@alphafort]

really entertaining and thorough review

[@artiekepler5396]

Not the best review. He is going on about the interior colour combination endlessly. This car can be customised in a million ways for that price. You think everyone who is going to busy this vehicle will have the same interior? And buy some proper footwear.

[@mexjimenez7827]

I drive same color but the inside it's beige color and curtains on the site... love it

[@spiritofecstasy224]

Great Vehicle! My favorite!

[@durjaymajlish1095]

Hey Motoman jhow are you? Love your videos. I’m watching from Singapore

[@man_on_wheelz]

Being a rather clean person when it comes to my cars, I would get this car in a color I seen Lincoln do and loved it very much. A nice Midnight Blue exterior, with white seats and headliner, white with a red wood dashboard (maybe black wood) and a black floor. Of course, only if you're going to keep the car clean, black floors for just in case you have a little mud on your shoes.

[@kevinking1286]

Hey motoman I like your cars tests . The thing I like about RR the product itself . I like gear transmission idea . I wish you test drive Nissan juke , dodge Ram and infiny q30

Lol he looks all professional but then has red laces !!

[@wewtubewew]

Which model has the lowest db travel level? Is the extended wheelbase important for the best ride?

[@YAMIYAD]

i wish i could have a Rolls Royce, its just so perfect car i love them. But its ok i drining my old shit peugot 106 because i cant buy a newer car. Still love to watch those videos! thnx!

[@ro0382]

+Jan Jaap Dan koop je een mooie porsche boxster met stoel verwarming.

[@ZachATL]

How does it compare with the Maybach S600 and the Rolls Royce Phantom. How does the ride compare with the Wraith. Wow your description is exactly like me; I have a 991 TTS as well, but can't always drive. I actually prefer reverse herringbone seats in business class, as comfortable as first class suites.

[@MotoManTV]

Zach Chai Both the Wraith and the Maybach are coming up on the show later in the summer. More as those episodes progress . . .

[@colderbeer]

The way something is manufactured is more important than the product. Building a car THE RIGHT WAY makes all the difference in how long it will last, as well in the areas of initial quality.

[@bryancarsmiami7918]

I'd have to say both are equally important depending on the buyer and their preferences

[@StriderCX]

I've stated this on an XCar review, but I want to see your guy's opinion on the matter. Why are the new Rolls Royce's so... boxy? Rolls used to have curves. Now they're just luxurious boxes.

[@Chris55524]

I love this presenter's non-verbal cues, absolutely hilarious

[@iigotthemojo]

Was the car driving by itself, is it a self driving car? btw i didn't finish watching the video so im guessing he'll explain later on

[@Lee-70ish]

Most Rolls owners are Chauffeur driven

Sir Charles Rolls was conducting a dalliance with a young lady just prior to the great war, and she was a nurse on a hospital ship in the Mediterranean when a German U-boat torpedoed her vessel from under her, all hands were lost. Mr Rolls, now understandably disconsolate, forged an icon in memoriam to his lost love, we know it as the "Spirit of Ecstasy" and it has graced every Rolls Royce since 1914. Such tragedies are insurmountable and some others are steeped in legend. An unrequited love will tear your soul to shreads. Be wary, you have been warned.

[@JoJoJoker]

All things considered, quality and performance, I'd still say handmade. A handmade Savile Row suit will be better than a machine-sewn designer suit whose price is not dictated by the fit/quality but the label. These are luxury goods and have no practical purpose so I'd say handmade. To take it to another level, I'd rather have a Pagani Huyara over a Bugatti Veyron. I'd imagine all of these cars have a certain degree work done by hand.  Still prefer the looks of the Mulsanne and would have that for the money. 

[@AC-hj2ly]

Question: Do you prefer this Series 2 Ghost or a 2018+ Bentley Mulsanne Speed?

[@MotoManTV]

Mulsanne Speed.

[@jalenwheeler]

I would like dark brown interior with white trimming with metallic grey finishes and the starlite roof

[@ThisIsRockyTV]

What's up with the Chrysler 300 lights

[@ognjeennn]

Chrysler copies Bentley and Rolls-Royce.

[@spencer19811]

Rolls had these lights waaaaaaaaaay before Chrysler.

[@123456tw]

can you make every single part of the car green?

[@KingBeatsOPS]

Ur crazy

[@mscott3918]

[@rassaneybattiese6932]

The way its manufactured.

[@just_some_internet_guy]

How in the world did you not actually extend the seat in the back ?

[@Gordon_2000]

Wear decent shoes in a Rolls.

[@thecoolguy775]

Gordon 2000 chill, it’s just a car.

[@man_on_wheelz]

I always figured I would want the Phantom instead of this because I like big, floaty, cars. But this thing seems a bit more practical, more like a car than an apartment building, and seems a bit more young than the Phantom... I just needed to see the bit where the SOE retracts into the hood and I'm sold, so yeah, if I ever got the money, I'd buy this instead of a Phantom... but still not before the Drophead Coupe, that's would be bought first and foremost!

[@petewinagar274]

you mentioned the stainless hood I was told by a Rolls Royce sales person on the ghost it is silver paint the only way to get stainless hood is to buy a phantom

[@samegemba1741]

dude if your RR hood covered with titanium or any shit you wanna, it can be done.As long as you have the money

[@samegemba1741]

[@davidmatheson6050]

The way it is manufactured.

[@dencam25]

Motorman videos are the shit 💯

[@sachin1006]

Way its manufactured, just look at old stock cars, the better built ones still work first of all and many may still be desirable

[@mscott3918]

sachin1006 The older ones are doing fine. Had my Silver Cloud III since 1982 and it floats. Starts first time and doesn't have one computer, not many gadgets but more headroom.

[@paulgood3584]

Best built autos, and one hell of a aircraft engine builder.

[@MrLonelyR]

I did a small comparison side by side with the rear passenger seats on the Ghost II and the BMW7 2016 executive rear package. Sad to say, the BMW 7 and the Ghost shares a bit too much similarities. The seat adjustment buttons, the sound of the tones, it's just very upsetting at how a 100k sedan vs a 380k Rolls can be so close to each other when it comes to what to offer as a "product." With that said, my preference would still be the Rolls Royce over a BMW 7 or S-Class, but for certain it would be the Phantom EWB over the Ghost II EWB. If driving or riding in the back seats of the Rolls is to make a statement then you better be making a bold one with the legend, not its little brother. However I have to say, what the 7 series and the S-Class (both the 2016s) have a lot to offer that comes pretty darn close to a Rolls as a "product" as a fraction of the price. I have the S-class now and I am thinking about the Phantom EWB in the next 12-18 months, unless if the Mulsanne new EWB coming up are in more of a production.

[@JoJoJoker]

The starlight headliner. Put the sunroof on that Turbo S.

[@IceDree]

Why not both? The product it self & the way its made. of course Bentley got the craftsmanship advantage since VAG got everything in the divorce (except for the BMW engines) while Rolls started from scratch again ... (sounds like a messy Cali divorce lol) when it comes to the paint though, Rolls Royce is the Master... Especially when coachlines are involved... I've seen some epic touches. I think they did a remarkable job with the Phantom & Ghost & with experience they gained... The next generation Phantom should be a masterpiece. The Starlight Vs Panoramic roof is a tough one, I think I'll go with a Panoramic roof on the Ghost & Starlight on the Wraith . . . :) speaking of Rolls & Aviation, did you get to see the Aviation Series cars in person? I saw the Waterspeed Phantom Drophead Coupe in person & the details inside are incredible. quick question, Do you know who makes the dash clocks for Rolls? as always, excellent video M!

[@theosl81]

How does it compare to the Mercedes-Maybach S600?

[@bhangraman7000]

MotoManTV With companies like Mercedes coming out with executive models of their S class and the revitalization of the Maybach Moniker, I feel that the RR nameplate is more historic more than anything else. The Germans are offering equally comparable luxury and build quality for significantly less, so the ghost and Phantom seem to be just overpriced BMW's at the end of the day in my opinion. RR still holds a bigger name in aviation more than anything else, and even then GE gives them a godo run for their money. In the end you buy a Rolls for the manufacturing, but in reality I found the car to be glitzy in its interior design. The New S Class is equally as luxurious and refined, without feeling glitzy and overdone in terms of the interior design.

[@samsonokoro5036]

Zoraver Singh The build quality is still miles ahead in a rolls than a Mercedes, just look at the rear infotainment system on both cars and you'll see the difference in build quality and refinement. I would pick a rolls any day to an s class that looks like almost every other top end luxury car inside. The Benz is still top notch, but nowadays i can't differentiate some Benz models from Korean cars. No other car looks like the rolls, interior and exterior that's the finesse and exclusivity that makes the brand the most successful luxury brand in that price range.

[@bhangraman7000]

Samson Okoro​ rolls Royce just uses BMW infotainment. For interior materials are still top notch. I disagree that the s class build quality is any less. The w116 and w126 are considered to be some of the best built cars. Mercedes is a brand that is known for its impeccable build quality. In the end I do not think I feel that the rolls Royce is not worth 4x the cost of an s class. The s class is close enough in interior materials and design, to where the rolls is more of a niche brand.

[@samsonokoro5036]

Zoraver Singh it's not four times the price, this is the ghost not phantom, when I talked bout the Infotainment system at the rear I wasn't talking bout the electronics but the build quality of materials around it in the rear. It is concealed in the rolls foldable and doubles as a table with incredible wood finish. The Benz on the other hand is like every other permanently placed and in your face. The rolls is all bout refinement and class and though the benz is a top car isn't just on this Level in my opinion. U can get a ghost from 250k. The s class amg or brabus is well over 150k. The rolls can really get expensive though cause of the unlimited bespoke options.

[@lutky612]

Zoraver Singh I tell you one thing that I like the rolls more then the BMW/Mercedes, even BMW owns Rolls. Nowadays the bmw's and the mercedes are identical, I mean, pic a 7 series and compare with a 5 series, smaller, but identical, same applies to Mercedes, but the Rolls...is unique.

[@501pj]

Zoraver Singh Mercedes area nice car but every cab driver in Beirut has a Mercedes.

[@I-Love-Taylor-Swift]

How and when am I ever going to be able to buy one of these? It's so not fair!!!

[@pennfootball71]

The way they make it is more important and the material quality.

[@dabanmasoud7066]

really I want such a car but how I can buy it its really expensive and really luxurious and elegant and mesmerising

[@andyhoov]

Ideally, the product will reflect the way it was produced.

[@cjmt1234]

Well in England Latin is still thought nation wide at first when you enter secondary school (high school) and where I live it's tonight in every private school. I take it at my school and most of the parents that pay for their kids to go to school have a luxury car since they already pay over £10,000 a year for there children to go somewhere like King Edwards Edgbaston for example. And because of the education the parents also probably had Latin is spoken by many past students who went to Oxford or Cambridge.

He's right. Scottsdale Road doesn't have even the slightest bend worth mentioning. Don't forget to subscribe!

[@fespo276]

I am sure you can get whatever options you want, but I doubt that would include seatbelt colors. Every different seat belt color needs to be tested to national standards and that means crash testing the car.

[@incruso]

Pfff lol crash testing for color changes hahahahaha

[@talharehman8369]

[@arjunyallambalse]

[@jaw1489]

Well the way the product is produced is very important. But without the product itself, production doesn't matter

The way it's manufactured

[@mbulelogumede6903]

the way it manufactured is important

[@phamman88]

As far as I'm concerned all cars should be a hybrid or have some technology with fuel efficient technology. Cars doing 6 seconds 0-100kph is no big deal, it's what fuel consumption to performance that counts. That's the difference between cars these days.

[@dennisvanderben2719]

Top secret.

[@petewinagar274]

I think the product is a result of the way it is manufactured

[@jihoonkang686]

Is it possible to get this car for about 400 k?

[@mohammedalgamdi4324]

I love this car

[@James-hb6ee]

To answer your question posed in the video, since we are dealing in hyper-luxury here, in my opinion it is the product that is more important, not how it is manufactured. The Rolls will always get more respect at the Plaza, Ritz, Peninsula (pick your favorite high end hotel or restaurant) than the Bentley...and i love Bentley's too! I HATE the white gauges, though. I know they seem to be an "in" thing right now, but when your are driving at night on a dark road, they put out way too much light shining in your eyes. Your eyes can never get adjusted to the darkness. I could care less about a sunroof or a twinkly headliner.

[@Jia1337]

Just take the entire top off.

[@JBrumley32771]

shossain50 Actually, it's the other way around: the Chrysler 300 is a small version/rip-off of the RR. RR has had the sort of grille for decades.

[@vaquerogalacticocoronelzar132]

Because the manufacturer becomes the product itself obviously the manufacturer

[@vinaydeshmukh8446]

the manufacturing process, because it relate back to the product itself
