Yup, it should have been abhorted. But then, it is designed to compete with the massively overblown tanks in US. Just about right for that, dignified subtlety it ain't.

Cool

That is one ugly Rolls-Royce. But the market demands.

Charles Rolls and Henry Royce will be turning in their graves! (In the same way that William Lyons would, to see what they have done to Jaguars!).

I have loved Jaguars, and own a few now, but the newest is 2008, and if I won the lottery there is not one in the current range that I would buy. As for the latest RRs, they are hideous, and attract little or no attention at the RR Enthusiasts National each year. Still, most go abroad, or reside in London, so little chance of my eyes being offended.

As the saying goes, just because you can does not mean you should.

Not a proper RR. Not as ugly as that Bentley 4x4 thing though.

The Bentayga. Over dips in the road, not bad enough to be called pot holes they are very comfortable. Take some other cars over them and omg you think you have been in a pot hole.

Personally I don't like them from the oputside but they do apparently round about 190mph.
