The Lincoln in the background is the vastly superior vehicle.

Hmmmm ......well you've lost your mind Merc1.

I'm not going to flame American cars though ...because I think Cadillac might just be starting to go through a kind of renaissance.

I guess the Escalade is an "Icon" too ...mostly in the US, but I saw on TV David Beckham was driven around in one when he visited Australia a couple of weeks ago.

Ha!

So all the comments and stares from people would make you blush, how cute

Red is actually a common colour which would make the car blend in amongst all those red Toyota's, Kias and Mini Coopers rolling on the roads.*NOT!!*

I don't like the LV luggage, like and author of a book said, "Louis Vuitton Is the McDonald's of Luxury Brands". Still hoping that RR won't increase their production, so that they don't go down the same path as LV.

LOL yes, despite my sometimes ostentatious tastes, I am generally a pretty shy and conservative guy. I don't think it is an appropriate car for all occasions -- at times it would just be "too much".

Don't get me wrong though, I love it. If I was a rock star, I would have ordered mine months ago

Yes ...that is sad. It was once a brand with such an elegant image -- but ever since Bernard Arnault got his hands on it, every last trace of its marketability has been squeezed for maximum profits. What was once a very refined brand owned by a noble French family is now the favourite status symbol of the gliterati with their tacky lives of flamboyant luxury -- the Rolls is pretty much aimed at those same people.

I would prefer a metallic red on that Drophead, maybe wine red or something like that. BTW the trunk looks so comfortable you could actually sleep there.
