Huh? While I don't know anyone who actually owns one, I've heard from some car shows that it's like navigating a boat down a highway, not exactly a "driver-oriented" experience. They say pulling a u-turn in something that big is next to impossible with it's turning radius.

I was also wondering about that..i think it was the power in the car that was enjoyable as well as being a "tank like" experience for older drivers. feels more solid, like you own the road. this guy who said it was good to drive had a lot of cars though....including sports ones, and just liked driving it for some reason and I think it was just the power and weight of the car together which was nice.

Not unlike the old Lincolns and Cadillacs?

^ nice. I drove a 1974 (I think) Fleetwood 60 Special once when I was shopping for a car to replace my oil burning 73 Thunderbird.

Also, this one wins:

Nice! Have you seen the Rainbow Sheikh's collection of benzes? he has them in every color of the rainbow, it's hilarious.

What an abortion.

Hmm, I would have thought a big rainbow-coloured car would be appreciated by the rainbow club at this site.

I think that almost anyone who actually sits in a new Rolls will be impressed. You just can't take it in from a photo or seeing it from a distance.

Looks pretty good to me, and the modern RRs look sensational in the metal - I doubt this one will be any different.
