CloseThe biggest surprise of the Geneva show for me was how good the new Black Badge cars from RR were. They look absolutely stunning in person. More torque/power/ and stiffer suspension may make me change my Wraith for a Ghost Black badge purely from a practicality standpoint.

Hey, no comment that this car would be perfect for RC in Miami? 
Well...it would be...if I had tons of money. 
Like Whoopsy said, this car has presence and while I'm not a big fan for the wheels, I could live with them.

I am pleased with the portrait though. Although I have shaved off the mustache since the photo was taken.

noone1:Maybe it's just me, but I think RR has an awful image in the US. I'd say it's a hip-hop car. Definitely not classy on this side of the pond.
I see tons of (new models) RR in Miami and surroundings and the men and women driving them don't exactly look like music stars or pimps. It is surprising for me however that I see older people in Miami in a Bentley and the younger ones (40-50) in the RR (talking about the new models, not the old ones).
Saw only a single RR in Beverly Hills though, the yellow one in front of the Bijan store.

Whoopsy:Christian, remember what I said a while ago? Bentley is for people who are waiting to die, their next car is the coffin.
I still love the Bentley Continental Coupe convertible...can't help it. 
RR is hip now, they get what younger people want, and their customer demographics is getting younger.
Seems to be true. Even I, someone who never ever liked RR loves the Ghost and I really don't like sedans.
OK, the interior could need some improvements but...
Please don't get me wrong: I would get a Ghost or a Wraith only if I had the wealth to be able to afford several high priced cars. I would never choose the Ghost/Wraith as my only car but I guess most owners don't really have this problem.

IMO a RR is more ostentatious than just about any exotic and has a very celebrity image in the US. When I see a RR, it just screams "Look how wealthy I am."
While one could argue an exotic says that too, I would say no kid ever had posters of giant British luxury cars on their walls. No kid ever picked the toy RR over the car that looked like it went 1000mph. No one was watching Bentley or RR win races.
Maybe things are different in Europe, but the fact that you probably see more RR in Miami than in a large northern cities like Chicago or NYC is pretty telling of the image. Why would you want a giant sedan when living in borderline tropical weather?

Why would you want a giant SUV in such weather? (not even sure what the weather has to do with the car type ).
