I‘m a fan of Rolls Royce, all day long. Theres not one in the line I would not be happy with, however, this would only want a vintage no more than 5 years. Most have next to no miles, and funny part they are cheaper than audio
I saw two in the showroom a few weeks ago. The brand was never in my mind because I always think one needs to have more than money to be driving one. But it really looks great in real. The line is so exceptional like a sculpture. And together with the size really makes the "presence, grace, power and respect." Incredible design.
Call it what you want. It is nothing more than a rebadged BMW. Rolls-Royce died with the sale. The only thing tying this car to the company founded by Sir Henry Royce and Charles Stewart Rolls is the name.

This is a good review if you like reviews where the “reviewer” has no idea what he is talking about. Doug gets way more wrong about this car than he does right. It is the perfect example of where a reviewer fails to do any research on his subject. For instance, he is the only person who considers the Silver Shadow to be ‘the Phantom” of its day. The car that was considered the “Phantom” of its day was actually a Phantom. The ultra rare, even by RR standards and ultra expensive Phantom VI. While the SS was a standard production car and could be found on the floor at any RR dealer, there was nothing standard about a PVI. They were all built by order to the purchaser’s specification. Production time was measured in years compared to months for a Shadow.
Doug goes on to get cosmetic, functional and mechanical details on the car wrong. Honestly, the list of errors is too long to even write down. I honestly don’t know why he didn’t think research was important.

Pretty far from a rebadged BMW. Uses the power train and that is where all similarities end, same as calling a Maserati a rebadged Chrysler. Lamborghini uses Audi engines, its how its done in the modern era. I think its awesome, one less foundry, one less this and that in the world.
