I really like this car,but lets be honest, the only reason people would buy this is because they couldn't afford the real thing.

i doubt that's necessarily true... i think when you're spending close to ?200k on a car, that extra ?50k is hardly gonna be difficult to find anyway.
i think this car is to drive. the Phantom is to be driven in.

i love this car but its pricetag doesn't justify. this car has the similar size, power and desirability of the bentley flying spur. this car is based on the latest 7 and the continental is based on vw's phaeton. technically they're both in the same class or league. i just wish that mercedes could build a maybach based on the current s-class or audi do a luxurious horch on its next a8 and priced it cheaper. ok, what am i complaining? it's baby rolls that looks like the drophead coupe with two extra doors. fabulous.

@nederina,
I think the Rolls Royce Ghost is classier than the Bentley Flying Spur. Its probably closer to the Mulsanne than the Flying Spur. The Ghost is like a slightly sportier junior-sized (but still large) version of the gigantic ultra luxury Phantom.

@Geefiasco,
Its a sportier Rolls Royce sedan that the owners probably wouldn't mind driving themselves.
The huge Rolls Royce Phantom really looks like a vehicle (image at least) that was meant to be driven by a driver/ chauffeur.

Much like how Bentley shares design pieces from Audi on the newer models, so does Rolls Royce share stuff with BMW like the upgraded BWM iDrive system. A truly beautiful car.

It seems as though a Bentley is no longer the sporting mans Rolls-Royce, the new Ghost is. I really want to purchase one when they become available in the U.S.

There's still something bugging me about this car, I like it, it's powerful and good looking, but I can't help but think it's for those who can't buy the real thing

i like this Rolls , even if it's the baby version i would chose this one over the Phantom , this one must be more practical in a city and you can drive it yourself without looking stupid.

The flying spur is still a more sporty ride, sure it's not as comfortable, mainly because they had to reduce weight, but that boat will do 300km/h no problem. The Speed is an awesome car. This is only 300mm shorter than the Maybach 57s. And yes there is a rumour that Maybach will be coming out with a 52s version in 2010 based on the S-Class platform to compete with this and the Continental Flying Spur.

it would be nice to see some Cadillac with Duesenberg let we say :D
and maybee Jag with Daimler to compete in this class, smth with V12 and bigger than XJ!

People allow me to clarify this car is not for people who cannot afford the Phantom. I can more than comfortably afford the Phantom but I dont want to drive a vehicle with such overwhelming presence on a daily basis. I also want to enjoy my driving experience without compromising by driving a vehicle from a lesser brand. A Phantom is mainly for special occasions or for being driven in. This vehicle is for a wealthy individual whom prefers to drive themselves without looking like they cannot comprehend the difference.

100% correct, there's many occasions where pulling up in a Phantom is a bit brash and out of place, this is where the Ghost comes in, for those less formal occasions.

Since when are ultra-luxury saloons meant to be driven??? Nonsense, this is just another way to milk the 7-series platform which does not sell as well as it should, and make some stellar profits for it.Its a car everyone with a phantom will want to ALSO have, that is all. And don' compare it to the Bentleys', as it shows your lack of understanding of business- Rolls spent decades making sure that Bentley and Rolls attract diff. markets, and now VW and BMW are following that path, so they can rip as many people off at once as possible- you have to concede, as the chessboard of the motoring industry goes, contrary to popular belief, on the one side of the board sit makers, on the other side sit the doofs with the money to buy.And if you think you matter- WRONG, it's just business...
