Doesn’t look real promising from the standpoint of rear visibility / driver’s side blind spot (but I guess that’s the chauffeur’s problem).

Had an 87 crown Vic wagon. Great station wagon. Always wanted the family truckster option.

Probably one of the ugliest RR’s to date. But then again, it’s all about making a statement, isn’t it? This picture looks like some of the facade of the front end is missing, or ?

The stern looks good, but the bow is homely, at best.

The back end looks like a 70s Buick Riviera.

After learning to love Due South in reruns, I saw some of the appeal of Ray's Riviera.

I had an idiot PHB that could barely string three words together most of the time.
He could never manage jumbotron. He always said jimbotron.

Those cars and trucks with LED wrapped headlights are some of the ugliest vehicles I’ve ever seen.

A stunning one-off customised Rolls-Royce with an estimated £10 million price tag swept into the record books when the wraps came off today.They're only building one? Oh, man....and I was just getting ready to trade in my 2009 Ford Escape.
