    Athlete around Chicago that I see in his drophead coupe quite often. Definitely a beautiful car. Enjoy yours!

    Beautiful choice! I did the same thing the other day except I was at the grocery store and ended up with a Snickers bar. Yours is a good choice too.

    A free advice. I have a Phantom and had the whole front covered with the 3M but forgot the round headlamp. Got hit by a road debris and cracked the face. Cost 4K to replace.

    Does yours have the roof lining light option?

    Was thinking of ordering a 458 or picking up a pre-owned 599 but when I saw this car I could not resist

    Well I already have a 1989 Rolls Corniche convertible and truthfully I think the Phantom is ungainly and a bit vulgar as a convert plus a whole lot more common than the coupe

    Great choice. I love the 599 but the RR is in another league.

    Not intentionally nitpicking here, but why would someone be cross shopping the two? Totally different animals for completely different purposes. And my guess is that the buyer could easily afford both. In fact, I think they would be great compliments - RR for daily driving and 599 as your weekend toy.

    Because I already have a Stradale and just didnt see the sense of getting another fast, loud and unpractical car such as a 599. Actually I do not like the 599 as I think the fake flying butresses are extremely ungainly and are meant to hide the fact its a hatchback design.

    +1! No one else says that around here.


    Congrats on the RR Coupe, very elegant. I notice it has a black hood rather than the steel - random question, will they fit a steel hood on after it's delivered like that (or would it had needed the steel A-pillars too)?

    Jerome, the whole point of my post was that someone who was shopping for a new car wouldn't be ccomparing an RR and a 599 because they are so completely different.

    You are quite right there Travis and truthfully when I walked in the dealership I was thinking supercar and not luxury car. Its just that the Rolls is such a substantial car in comparison and I felt it was a very good deal as I saved over 100k off MSRP

    I love experienced owners who can say this!
    The RR is a beautiful car. I saw the 101EX at a showing at Bentley Bethesda years ago, and it was stunning. Fell in love with the car instantly. Well done!
