BMW, perhaps?

Maybe a modded Audi A5?

Nope, it's a new Rolls Royce.

Very disappointing.

Were you thinking you might get one Flashy?

Yep, looks like a RR straight away, so they must be doing something right. Although it looks quite watered down & heaven forbid; bland!

The Phantom was sometimes criticised in the motoring press for being too ostentatious and obscene so perhaps this is the result??

Probably a Pheaton/A8 platform, looks nice though

I am not sure RR have ever made a good looking car have they?

Badge it up as a Chrysler and be done with it, I say.

I quite like it, and I'm a rabid car hating lentil-munching leftist hippie type.

The RR Silver Ghost is quite a nice example.

[url= ]This[/url] is a better shot of it. I like it, modern and not overly schmaltzy unlike the latest from [url= http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/News/Search-Results/First-Official-Pictures/Bentley-Mulsanne-2009--first-photos-of-the-new-Arnage/ ]Bentley[/url]

the "baby aston martin" wasn't/isn't intended for sale, it's to go with their stupidly expensive cars as an everyday city car thats supposed to say "look at me, I own an Aston Martin, but I'm not stupid/vain enough to want to drive it arround town, ok so may be that does make me a little vain?"

It was infact a Toyota Aygo (or even the smaller one?)

Can't see the RR pic so will pass judgement when I get home. Makes sense though (if it's A8/phaeton sized), everyones downsizing, McLaren are making £150,000 cars as opposed to $1,000,000 cars, Porshe have been making a 4x4 and now a proper 4 seater car, if they do buy out VAG
I wouldn't be supprised if they even made a badged Golf GTi,

Isn't the new RR a smaller sister to the phantom?

It couldn't possibly be on a Phaeton/A8 platform, 'cos they're VAG cars, who also own Lamborghini and [i]Bentley[/i], whereas RR are owned by [i]BMW[/i], who haven't designed a good-looking car in decades.

But have made a huge impact on the way cars now look and have at least injected some interest back into car design, they ain't jellymoulds...

I don't have a car and would not have a Rolls given (unless i could sell it and buy bikes). Someone should tell who ever owns Rolls that when you polish a turd all you get is a sh1tty cloth.
