Are they joking?
You can buy a Rolls for $400k that is more reliable, more powerful and looks far better than this butt ugly beast (inside and out).

It carries the upright slab-sidedness of not only its styling homage, the famous CA770, but also to various Kenmore products...LOLOL...Only an author named "Blake Z. Rong" could turn a phrase like that. Except maybe Steyn.

You can buy a Rolls for $400k that is more reliable, more powerful and looks far better than this butt ugly beast (inside and out). Easily. You could even spend a few thousand on an old early 60s Lincoln that would have more style and reliability.
