I don't have a problem with the styling in the front as it is typical badass Rolls. I think the SUV could take some funky color schemes and still look good.

The back of the car however does look like a hearse as someone pointed out. For that much money, they could have spent more on groundbreaking R&D back concepts as it was such a groundbreaking price. Like, some kind of cool SUV shit. Its a freaking Rolls.

I saw this video today. It was interesting. This vehicle, however, just doesn't do it for me. It doesn't "move" me (no pun intended). People have their brands. Audi, VW, and Porshe (oddly enough, all under one roof) are the brands that move my heart. Hard to explain why. Lambos, Ferraris I've always felt are cars for people with micro penises.

As far as this Cullinan, look--if I'm going to be chauferred in a $480,000 vehicle, it's going to be a lot roomier and far more blinged out than this Cullinan. And seriously, lamb skin floor mats? I want to be able to wear shoes in my car. If I have a $480,000 budget, I could do waaaaay better than this uninspiring old person's car. Huge TV, separate and private passenger's cabin, legit refrigerator, endless leg room, a legit massage chair function, floors that allow you to wear shoes...The leather didn't even look that nice (though I'm sure it is).

And for the record, my mother owns a $10,000 massage chair. I highly doubt the Cullinan's shitty little massage chair would do anything for me.

Yeah, agree - the backseat should be jaw droppingly luxxx for your rides to your yacht or private jet. For $480K....

Or closing a large deal to someone in Dubai in the backseat, etc.....

I'm a huge fan of these new luxury SUVs by Bentley, Roll Royce, and Lamborghini. If you think but what does someone buy a luxury vehicle like a RR, Bentley or S class. It's because of the comfort, statement, and presence. Therefore, an SUV version of the car is going to be a larger statement, more presence, and more comfortable, all due to size.

Additionally, it allows them to spread development costs across more vehicles and expand their potential customer base.

Yeah - and the Maybach is also a competitor, but not an SUV.

The Lamborghini is my favorite luxury SUV personally and it is the type built for a superior** driving experience. **

This Rolls Royce is similar to other Rolls Royce vehicles as they are built for the optimal and most comfortable backseat passenger experience. Its visible in all the controls, electronics, and vents in the backseat of this Cullinan Black Badge. Even the umbrella in the door is designed for 'the help'.

By all means they are saying that this is the best passenger experience money can buy with competitors like the Maybach, S550, Bentley and the like.

I think a key part of this Rolls SUV is how quiet it seems with the added window in the back to make it completely silent. This would be optimal for working on the go or having conference calls in LA traffic in the back on the way to the airport and so on... I think the low cabin noise factor is of great value to their customers and is part of the Rolls Royce experience.

Dude you are tripping, a Aventador or Hurrican will always absolutely shit on these stupid impractical as fuck overpriced underperforming SUVs from both a statement and presence standpoint. Those are the cars that make you stop what you're doing, and your jaw drops. The highest end luxury SUVs will never do that, and most people won't bat an eye. Lamborghini is the to cars as Rolex is to watches, they are the flashiest and make the biggest statement. Tell me I'm wrong. An Aventador is so impractical that it has a far greater presence, as it a total flex move. The only valid part of your argument could POTENTIALLY be that these SUVs are more comfortable, but you are literally splitting hairs here.
