That wood coachwork for the roof foldaway area is awesome!

This car defines "Baller".

I need to buy one of these - I have all of this teak oil left over from my boat and teak furniture . . . no point letting it go to waste.

I love the doors and that they close automatically does the LS have that feature?

Nice video, & obviously a very nice car, but I think the front is ugly with that overly wide grille & those beady headlights - it has lost the regality & elegence of the previous Rolls Royce models

Well, some celebrities certainly didn't wait until they turn 50 before they buy similar cars like this such as the previous Rolls Royce Corniche & Bentley Azure.

I say anyone who like cars like this should go for it if they like it, can afford it, regardless of age.
