    The new Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe. Note the suicide doors. What's your verdict?

    Horrible imo. Front looks like a face with beedy eyes for headlights and indicators look like thick eye brows.

    Might appeal to people with more money than good taste.

    That car has nothing to do with looks/style/refinement although it was some of each (be it good or bad).
    It's all about money and status..

    Not my cup of tea if I was in a position to buy...

    Meh. Looks like an oversized (and overpriced) brick.

    I'll take a Bentley any day.

    The doors seem pointless. The handle looks like it's holding it on.

    Its a horrible car, sidemarkers, 3 piece front windscreen, doors that open from the rear hinges, its looks like an overblown Truimph TR7. There is a US based coachbuilder that builds Maybach 57 convertibles and they have an image of a phantom coupe which is much better presented than the convertible shown above.

    LOL at some of the comments :)

    I'm glad RR introduced it and I'd love to see it in the flesh some day, although I doubt a single one will be sold here

    I would not buy one, even if I'd win the big lottery like that knacker "lady" in Limerick

    I doubt I'd buy it if I had the money but I have to say I do like it.

    I apologise if I offended you. In fairness, she is very generous. She's renting the best briefs for family members accused of murder...
