Drove the new Ghost, Spectre, and Cullinan...
I drove the new Ghost, Spectre, and Cullinan. All 2025 models. And all I can say is I miss my Wraith company car. You can't see out of the Spectre nor the Ghost very well to know where the corners of the car are. And they're big cars. The Cullinan was easy to see out of and I knew where the corners of the cars were - but the SUV isn't the greatest look in my eyes.
The Wraith was a wonderful machine. Somewhat fun to drive. Easy to drive. And manageable. Safe. Powerful. Just not easy to open those big doors in a tight parking space, so you can only take it to places where you know the parking spaces are spacious.

Interesting, how recounting the findings of the alleged survey, in the third paragraph, morphs smoothly into advertising copy. Highly suggestive, very successful, I assume. I for one am sold. Cheers Marc
I think “own chauffeur” is interesting
as is “ valuable business asset” … sometimes a corporate jet is…i tell myself my boat is (it isn’t) and I’m guessing a lot of Rolls-Royce owners tell themselves similar…
The ad was some time ago…
Cannot see anyone claiming the same nowadays before the advent of fully self driving vehicles 😊

Yes. But do we need an SUV from Rolls Royce?
I'd argue RR made this SUV knowing that it didn't fit the brand's image, but they decided to do so because the profit implications are huge. FYI. People in the UK buy SUVs because they like the imposing look, the sporty capabilities, and because it's a tr...
We called SUVs Chelsea Tractors in London
Driven mostly by trophy mums for school run or to upscale supermarkets
We dont, but its nice to be in the plush and arguably most comfortable SUV
the profit is irresistible factor
It is comfortable.
It even handles well. I will say, the difference between the Cullinan and the BMW x7 isn't as big as I'd expect. The previous Ghost vs the previous BMW 7 series was a huge difference (the Ghost at the time used a heavily modified BMW 7 series platform). T...
I am a big fan of the brand and their products.
Was lucky to visit the company last year and had a great time The new range of cars are so good looking and stylish imho . The older RRs are so iconic and way ahead of their time when you look at the technology and style. All in all timeless machines 👌🏻😘 ...
Without sounding elitist, the new money has a lot to answer for
Very similar to how the watch companies are positioning their products.. I guess you do whatever you need to do in order to survive and maximise profit
