only the front end tells it?s a rolls, the rest would better make for a beatiful lancia.....

I dunno, it looks pretty spiffy if you ask me.
I don't know what to say. I guess you either hate the design, or love it.

I think it would look better if Pininfarina would have been more adventurous with making a modern interpretation of the RR grille.

What a stinky joke is this? They think they can up and get rid of what makes a RR awesome (its unique blend of massive presence and elegance) and replace it with their italian sleekness clich? with impunity? No wonder the result is such a mutant monster! I hope they don't allow them to use the RR logo + SoE.

With all due respect... Italians shouldnt touch as british things as RR... They simply cant make it with the dignity...

nahh this just isnt a RR... its tooo um.. .wats da word... chinzee, the original looks alot better

Stop that... seriously. Maybe he thought it was funny at first but it isn't funny anymore. You can't put an RR grill on anything and then expect it to automatically be a Rolls Royce.

It shows, despite recent tragedy in company that they have nothing to do. That kind of efforts can even be paid but are not a "serious work in design" and not a fun for proffesional designers even in our days.

it's like these 60 y.o. rockers banding up to release a pathetic revival cd, where half of the original members are gone... the golden days of pininfarina are, unfortunately, gone long away

It seems be truth, sk314. Only thing here. It is not just Pininfarina problem. From other design field a famous french designer Philip Stark said that "There is no design anymore". Same feelings lives among architeksts as well. The problem is hidden under huge activity in any design field and conserns in fact that whole culture have no esthetic basis, shape language or "alphabet of beauty" if prefere, like it was known in history.

yeah that's pretty obvious, corroborated by the constant flux of neo-retro stuff, simple updates of what was striking and really innovative back in the days, or different, ackward but ugly new ideas... and the very few examples that go beyond this current lack of genuine creativity constitute exceptions that confirm the rule, sadly
