Rolls is also unlike any other car on the road. And significantly, the
Drophead Coupé more accurately captures the spirit of Rolls-Royce than
any of that company's efforts in the last four decades...

Blech?  Just MHO, but that car is FUGLY.

Actually, there's precious few *new* cars that get my pulse racing,
styling-wise.  But I'd be happy with any of these:

Now THOSE are some sexy cars!

Would've been better if they stuck with the dual headlight design instead of
the HQ holden look.....a little headlight in such a huge area...looks odd
but it has awesome performance for such a heavy car. BTW do you get a BP
fuel tanker with it?

Should be named the "Dropped on it's f.cking head" coupe. It's as ugly as a
hatful of sh.t :)

f.cked if I know.

I don't know why *anyone* would be interested in a Rolls-Royce. They're the
ultimate "look at me" w.nker toy, f.cking totally ridiculously priced and
about as much fun to drive as a prostate examination.

I've always had a soft spot for the Bentley Turbo R though.
I think the best Roller I saw was when Jeremy Clarkson drove one into a
refurbished public swimming pool. :-)

People, please remove irrelevant newsgroups from the headers when
replying to cross-posted spam.  I have left alt.fan.dragons in the list
this time so that the Alfandrians can see this message has been sent.

There's a relevant newsgroup for this spammer's sh.t?

Its styling doesn't do anything for me, I think its a love it or hate it
sort of look, I like the look of many of the older RR's but the new ones
look a bit weird.

You all know that you can type in Rolls Royce Drophead Coupe on google
and not give this spammer more hits for his site, don't you?

I did that.  It has a couple of nice features, although for the price
you're gonna pay for that car, it needs them.

A retractable hood ornament?  Wow - that'll keep people from stealing it
I suppose.

The headlights are f.cked up though.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember speedclub911@gmail.com saying
something like:

>Rolls is also unlike any other car on the road.

Yep, it's uglier than most, and that's saying something in this age of
the Uglicar.

And f.ck off with your spam.
