That having been said, I can't speak for Rolls, but I was recently driven to the airport in this custom Bentley - it was nice and all, and I liked it more than a comparable Benz, but I can barely imagine renting one for 5 minutes much less buying one. Definitely not the normal way I travel, and having done it I wouldn't ever pay more for it ...

Those vehicles all fall into the but-what-is-this-for? category for me.

Valid, I'm mainly talking to the powertrain and platform..... Rolls are interesting birds considering it's basically 2 seperate companies coming together to make one. VW and BMW both contribute to the build. Not to mention the transmission is the same as a Dodge Hellcat lol!
