Comment by atourya, posted on November30 Mercedes tried that with the Maybach. The very expensive S600 was not well received. Rolls has a chance to come downmarket and succeed but bringing BMW $100k upmarket is a recipe for disaster. Since Rolls doesn't have Bentley as the sport moniker anymore they should look to compete. A more sporty Rolls will do well. Why not an ultra-luxe bmw instead?

Own one (like me) and the sheer passion, quality and attention to detail will win you over. For example, the leather in the seats comes from farms which have no barbed wire, so there are no nicks or scratches on it. And the radiator grille is entirely made by hand. And 30 years on, mine still drives like a dream, it is perfect. However, a Roller that cheap is not good. The should go for the $300 000 mark. Nevertheless, still the best automobiles in the world. Period. For all you haters, Rolls-Royce is undoubtedly the finest car manufacturer out there. Own one (like me) and the sheer passion, quality and attention to detail will win you over.

By the way, does anyone else not like the new design of the RR projector headlamps? I saw one, and it looked like a second grade aftermarket modification. I hope that BMW knows what it is doing in the long term, from a marketing perspective for RR. BMW seems to think that they know what consumers want better than the consumers know themselves.
