now the umbrella idea is stupid! Think about it, they should have put that inside the car, so you won't have to open the door, fumble w/ the umbrella while getting yourself and the inside of the car wet. Sure the passenger/the interior will still get wet, but not as wet.

The car is so ugly, the front looks like a Peterbilt.

Coolest thing about it, is the suicide doors....that's it.

You think they would call it quits with the column shifter crap, I think tradition is getting the best of RR.

It's cute on a $50k Escalade, but not a $330k Rolls.
