    I honestly appreciate the way that you do car channels diffrent from other people. Other than saying "here's the car, its this trip and has this option and here's how it drivers" Its amazing the story, the heritage and the unique aspects you bring to your videos. and PLEASE more OPTIONS GAMES....

    The product and the way it's manufactured IMO should never be mutually exclusive. One complements the other. Just like a fine Panerai watch.And a Latin speaking option in a car? Only Rolls. Another great episode MotoMan. Really enjoyed these reviews.

      +MotoManTV you can have both if you want. Rolls will do that and according to my calculations (I am a car dealer myself), in the United States, you will be spending around 30,000$ extra for both together.

      Depends on where you live as well. In some places the Rolls most def stands out more being more of a rare sight. An untrained eye doesn't make much difference between an S500 and the Maybach. ;)

      @randomcarguy1656 7 лет назад

    Being a rather clean person when it comes to my cars, I would get this car in a color I seen Lincoln do and loved it very much. A nice Midnight Blue exterior, with white seats and headliner, white with a red wood dashboard (maybe black wood) and a black floor. Of course, only if you're going to keep the car clean, black floors for just in case you have a little mud on your shoes.

    Sir Charles Rolls was conducting a dalliance with a young lady just prior to the great war, and she was a nurse on a hospital ship in the Mediterranean when a German U-boat torpedoed her vessel from under her, all hands were lost. Mr Rolls, now understandably disconsolate, forged an icon in memoriam to his lost love, we know it as the "Spirit of Ecstasy" and it has graced every Rolls Royce since 1914. Such tragedies are insurmountable and some others are steeped in legend. An unrequited love will tear your soul to shreads. Be wary, you have been warned.

    All things considered, quality and performance, I'd still say handmade. A handmade Savile Row suit will be better than a machine-sewn designer suit whose price is not dictated by the fit/quality but the label. These are luxury goods and have no practical purpose so I'd say handmade. To take it to another level, I'd rather have a Pagani Huyara over a Bugatti Veyron. I'd imagine all of these cars have a certain degree work done by hand. 
    Still prefer the looks of the Mulsanne and would have that for the money.

    I always figured I would want the Phantom instead of this because I like big, floaty, cars. But this thing seems a bit more practical, more like a car than an apartment building, and seems a bit more young than the Phantom... I just needed to see the bit where the SOE retracts into the hood and I'm sold, so yeah, if I ever got the money, I'd buy this instead of a Phantom... but still not before the Drophead Coupe, that's would be bought first and foremost!

    As far as I'm concerned all cars should be a hybrid or have some technology with fuel efficient technology. Cars doing 6 seconds 0-100kph is no big deal, it's what fuel consumption to performance that counts.
    That's the difference between cars these days.

    How does it compare with the Maybach S600 and the Rolls Royce Phantom. How does the ride compare with the Wraith. Wow your description is exactly like me; I have a 991 TTS as well, but can't always drive. I actually prefer reverse herringbone seats in business class, as comfortable as first class suites.

  • @MrLonelyR
    @MrLonelyR 8 лет назад

    I did a small comparison side by side with the rear passenger seats on the Ghost II and the BMW7 2016 executive rear package. Sad to say, the BMW 7 and the Ghost shares a bit too much similarities. The seat adjustment buttons, the sound of the tones, it's just very upsetting at how a 100k sedan vs a 380k Rolls can be so close to each other when it comes to what to offer as a "product." With that said, my preference would still be the Rolls Royce over a BMW 7 or S-Class, but for certain it would be the Phantom EWB over the Ghost II EWB. If driving or riding in the back seats of the Rolls is to make a statement then you better be making a bold one with the legend, not its little brother. However I have to say, what the 7 series and the S-Class (both the 2016s) have a lot to offer that comes pretty darn close to a Rolls as a "product" as a fraction of the price. I have the S-class now and I am thinking about the Phantom EWB in the next 12-18 months, unless if the Mulsanne new EWB coming up are in more of a production.

    To answer your question posed in the video, since we are dealing in hyper-luxury here, in my opinion it is the product that is more important, not how it is manufactured. The Rolls will always get more respect at the Plaza, Ritz, Peninsula (pick your favorite high end hotel or restaurant) than the Bentley...and i love Bentley's too! I HATE the white gauges, though. I know they seem to be an "in" thing right now, but when your are driving at night on a dark road, they put out way too much light shining in your eyes. Your eyes can never get adjusted to the darkness. I could care less about a sunroof or a twinkly headliner.

    Well in England Latin is still thought nation wide at first when you enter secondary school (high school) and where I live it's tonight in every private school. I take it at my school and most of the parents that pay for their kids to go to school have a luxury car since they already pay over £10,000 a year for there children to go somewhere like King Edwards Edgbaston for example. And because of the education the parents also probably had Latin is spoken by many past students who went to Oxford or Cambridge.

  • @bhangraman7000
    @bhangraman7000 9 лет назад +7

    MotoManTV With companies like Mercedes coming out with executive models of their S class and the revitalization of the Maybach Moniker, I feel that the RR nameplate is more historic more than anything else. The Germans are offering equally comparable luxury and build quality for significantly less, so the ghost and Phantom seem to be just overpriced BMW's at the end of the day in my opinion. RR still holds a bigger name in aviation more than anything else, and even then GE gives them a godo run for their money. In the end you buy a Rolls for the manufacturing, but in reality I found the car to be glitzy in its interior design. The New S Class is equally as luxurious and refined, without feeling glitzy and overdone in terms of the interior design.

    • @samsonokoro5036
      @samsonokoro5036 9 лет назад +5

      Zoraver Singh The build quality is still miles ahead in a rolls than a Mercedes, just look at the rear infotainment system on both cars and you'll see the difference in build quality and refinement. I would pick a rolls any day to an s class that looks like almost every other top end luxury car inside. The Benz is still top notch, but nowadays i can't differentiate some Benz models from Korean cars. No other car looks like the rolls, interior and exterior that's the finesse and exclusivity that makes the brand the most successful luxury brand in that price range.

    • @bhangraman7000
      @bhangraman7000 9 лет назад +2

      Samson Okoro​ rolls Royce just uses BMW infotainment. For interior materials are still top notch. I disagree that the s class build quality is any less. The w116 and w126 are considered to be some of the best built cars. Mercedes is a brand that is known for its impeccable build quality. In the end I do not think I feel that the rolls Royce is not worth 4x the cost of an s class. The s class is close enough in interior materials and design, to where the rolls is more of a niche brand.

    • @samsonokoro5036
      @samsonokoro5036 9 лет назад +2

      Zoraver Singh it's not four times the price, this is the ghost not phantom, when I talked bout the Infotainment system at the rear I wasn't talking bout the electronics but the build quality of materials around it in the rear. It is concealed in the rolls foldable and doubles as a table with incredible wood finish. The Benz on the other hand is like every other permanently placed and in your face. The rolls is all bout refinement and class and though the benz is a top car isn't just on this Level in my opinion. U can get a ghost from 250k. The s class amg or brabus is well over 150k. The rolls can really get expensive though cause of the unlimited bespoke options.

    • @lutky612
      @lutky612 9 лет назад

      Zoraver Singh I tell you one thing that I like the rolls more then the BMW/Mercedes, even BMW owns Rolls. Nowadays the bmw's and the mercedes are identical, I mean, pic a 7 series and compare with a 5 series, smaller, but identical, same applies to Mercedes, but the Rolls...is unique.

    people are not asking what is more important, but what is recommended by you.
    You obviously have reason why you are not providing the info.We know what the reason is...
    I would buy Rolls, pure and simple..

    my opinion the product is the result of the way it is manufactured I prefer the Ghost ll over any Bentley.

    Why not both? The product it self & the way its made.
    of course Bentley got the craftsmanship advantage since VAG got everything in the divorce (except for the BMW engines) while Rolls started from scratch again ... (sounds like a messy Cali divorce lol)
    when it comes to the paint though, Rolls Royce is the Master... Especially when coachlines are involved... I've seen some epic touches.
    I think they did a remarkable job with the Phantom & Ghost & with experience they gained... The next generation Phantom should be a masterpiece.
    The Starlight Vs Panoramic roof is a tough one, I think I'll go with a Panoramic roof on the Ghost & Starlight on the Wraith . . . :)
    speaking of Rolls & Aviation, did you get to see the Aviation Series cars in person? I saw the Waterspeed Phantom Drophead Coupe in person & the details inside are incredible.
    quick question, Do you know who makes the dash clocks for Rolls?
    as always, excellent video M!
