Nevertheless, it's fun to play stupid and compare a top-level cars with the nievette of a child. When it comes to the level of cars like the S600 or the 911 Turbo, everything else is just deminishing returns on a scale of magnitude (as if you didn't know that already).
Well said Osna: by any objective measure a Rolls Royce makes no sense. May too much money for only a little more space (that you don't need) and a quieter ride (and most people could not hear or care about the difference). But that is not the point. If it was, Seikos and Citizens would rule the world, no one would buy Versace Rosenthal dinnerware and we would all walk around in cheap suits and screw Brioni. But that is not the way of the world...

Rolls Royce...if you ask why, you just don't get it...
