hey johnny, in 2006 there was a UN report that stated all the cars, trucks, and suvs on the planet put together don’t produce as much greenhouse gases as the global meat industry…so fire up that mustang, but put that canned crap away and switch to ramen

well written, i second that…. i would probably never buy a rolls.

if i could afford to, id rather have:
a couple of landcruisers, worked audi’s/bmw’s/hondas/acuras/nissans/ToyotaSupra/Lexi/Z06/F250/
crotch-rockets/four-wheelers/dirt bikes…. and donate some money to charities…

I’d like to see them do this is short order, even if as an experimental vehicle. Just to show they have more than a passing interest.

Great idea, a Rolls-Royce is a quiet car anyway and doesn’t need to sound fast. Most owners have chaffeurs anyway. If this was a Bentley that be different. You’re driven in a Rolls and you drive a Bentley. An electric Rolls makes sense.

This makes sense, yet it makes the older buyers go “WTF?”

Electric – Don’t look at the green factor, but instead look at the quiet ride factor. Some extreme luxury buyers will definitely dig this.

Gas – For those who must have the noise and the rapid refill.

Commenting on this Rolls-Royce gives me something to do while I’m waiting for my microwaved bowl of Chef Boyardee Mini-bites to cool down a bit. I suppose if I ate enough cans of this stuff I could power a Rolls for 300 miles. However there definitely would be emissions.

I just can’t see the appeal of a handbuilt luxury car that sounds like a golfcart going down the road.

I must admit…this actually makes some sense. Also the electrification of the automobile already happened. What we are experiencing now is a RE-electrification of the automobile. At one point there were more electric cars then IE powered vehicles!
