Pardon me for jumping in on a question you asked someone else, but I don't see any discrepancy in it. In this forum, we talk about virtually any car or truck (and sometimes motorcycles). Many, if not most of us, routinely discuss (and sometimes DISS-cus) vehicles that don't particularly tickle our fancy. I, for example, don't particularly like small, cramped, hard-riding sports cars, but I discuss them routinely (and, on occasion, even review them).

The first thing that fascinated me about new Rolls Royce vehicles was how the logo in the wheels always stays centered

Oh and I have to admit, that new Wraith is looking quite swell

I like the Phantom but that's about it. I'd rather have a Bentley, 760LI, S65, or an LS600hL.

There's not really a discrepancy with anything; just curiosity caused me to ask that question. Seeing as this is a Lexus oriented forum, members usually join for the love of the brand, whether you own one or aspire to one.

Since he stated he's not a fan of luxury cars (which Lexus is), it was interesting to me that he would join a forum in which the main direction is in cars which he doesn't have a taste in.

Of course, if he joined, just to talk about regular cars because we are the best forum, then that is flattering for us

I'm not too big a fan of the Wraith. Cool name, but the car is so curvy (even for a Ghost derivative), almost Bentley-like. Unusual for recent RRs.

Back in 07' I bought a new IS250 which was my first "nice" car. Registered on this forum, did a bunch of stuff to the car, went to a few meets and over time I realized I preferred sport over luxury. I'm not a Lexus owner anymore but I stay on the forum since I enjoy reading the threads here. I dunno, its just a habit of mine to visit this forum during my lunch break.

Ah I see I see.

Personally though, I consider the Wraith as one of the first RRs to excite my interest since it leans more to sleek dynamism over pure conventional prestige.

Also seems like the first RR that targets rich people THAT ARE NOT NEARING RETIREMENT..........since the Phantom seems to aim for millionaires/billionaires of older age or with more conservative tastes.

I think RR started this a bit (aiming for younger age bracket) when they launched the Ghost.................but they took it further with the Wraith.
