Default Rolls Royce Phantom-based Convertible Concept / Spy Photo's ( UPDATED )





The next Corniche? I think it's ugly. Much prefer the pre-BMW Rolls.

Yes, a beautiful car, but, like all R-R products, terribly overpriced, especially considering the quality and reliability you get with Lexus products in the $30,000-$60,000 range......one-fifth of what these cost.
Same comments go for the Maybach, in the same price range.

Reminds me of a boat but without the curves, big and bulky. Ugly big thing.

This is a case of Retro styling gone bad

A Maybach would be better for that price. Wait, it's a COUPE. What's another overpriced 2-door coupe out there? How about a 360 Spyder?
