A Rolls too square to roll
I've had the painful (economic) pleasure to have owned a number of Rolls-Royces and Bentleys over the years. Undoubtedly, the ugliest Rolls-Royce ever conceived (and there have been some real stinkers) is the new Rolls-Royce Phantom. A recent Wall Street Journal article on the car summed it up well: "styling reminiscent of a Soviet-era staff car.'' I hope this car has a very limited, and short, production run.
