Does this mean that we can’t still have an opinion on it?

Just like the Canyonero that apparently inspired it, it’s so ugly that it’s funny! I didn’t know that the people at Rolls Royce had a sense of humour, but we’ve got the joke; can we see the real one now please? Thumbs Up

Now that the Manufacturers are turning out vulgar pieces of gangster bling , fit only for premiership footballers and pimps , perhaps some of the existing “‘car butchers” like Overfinch and Kahn might have to change their business models . They could take the factory pigs and turn them into discreet , classy vehicles 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

2016 Subaru Outback SE 2.0 diesel SE Premium Lineartronic Sold 2024 after 8 years and 80k miles . Best Car I ever owned !

RR have lost the plot since BMW owned them, that radiator grill looks really cheap, there was a reason the original was concave on the flats to stop it looking like sh Censored t, even the Queen has a much better class of official car, a Bentley Whistle my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis
2012 HSE SD4 In Orkney Grey now gone, best car ever.

If you want a definitive example of tasteless and vulgar, you have to look no further than the exterior of Bentley 4x4 thingy (I can’t remember its name and can’t even be bothered to look it up!).

There’s not a lot wrong with her Aintree Green L322 Thumbs Up

I keep getting images in my mind of that Austin 1100 with a Vanden Plas grille. About as tasteless.
Edit - this one:
Except the 1100 looks better. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Baltic Blue

Great clip of the Van den Plas Princess 1300 - thank you Past Master. ( I think it was always 1300 rather than 1100cc.) Loved the walnut dash and leather seats. My English teacher used to own one and we quite fancied her and her car if memory serves me well. A similar concept was the Wolsely 1885 - the "Land Crab". Beautiful walnut dashboard and lovely armchair seats. Dynamically both left a tadge to be desired however.

United Kingdom 2012 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Firenze Red

I think it will sell well across the pond as they seem to like unusual designs somewhat. Who knows it might grow on us! After all very few people liked the Disco 3 when it was first unveiled as it was likened to a Transit Connect! Rolling with laughter
