this begs the question: do you drive it or be driven in it (chauffeured)?

The Ghost was designed to do both. They paid attention to making things like the window size and door opening size roughly the same at all 4 corners so that all seating positions appear as "equals."

The new Ghost front suspension has 2 strut/damper assemblies per wheel. Really want to know more about this.

Hard to tell that it is all-new....I do like how they use dials instead of buttons for the HVAC

I chauffeured In 2 of the early Ghosts, it's hard to hear anything outside, or feel the road. The 1st time I floored it I was amazed at how fast it accelerated. Silently

I really like that, better than the Phantom actually, especially inside. I like how it feels more modern inside.

Since there only one limited photo of the interior/dash posted, I can't compare it directly to the Phantom, but the Phantom's interior, IMO, was arguably the best RR interior ever done.

Very lazy design overall imo. Usually RR knocks it out of the park.

Exterior is way less impressive and rear area is not very distinctive.

Interior - was anything even changed here?

More ppl will be getting the Cullinan after seeing this new Ghost.

suicide doors and the non-spinning center caps...pretty cool stuff and what i love about the double-R!

i would much rather have this over the weirdly proportioned cullinan.

For the price of the Rolls, Steve could probably buy his desired S-Class and a new Bentley Flying Spur on the side.
