Well you simply cannot make a statement like that Marcus without expecting a full-force torrent of abuse from me
Seriously though, what are you on about? -- "old-school" why does everyone insist on saying that about the Rolls-Royce interiors .......can't you see that they are very sophisticated contemporary pastiches on the classic Rolls-Royce interiors of the past. They are not old-fashioned at all, rather, they are inspired by tradition -- that is a vastly different thing altogether. The whole impression is vaguely "Retro" ..without being a facsimile of past vehicles ...I think it is a brilliant achievement.
If I may be able to give you an example of pastiche in design.
This famous chair was designed in 1930
...and this Post-modern pastiche was designed in the 1980's
...it captures the essence of the original design ...perhaps exaggerating the style a bit ....but could hardly be described as old-fashioned.
BTW, those headlights (and LEDs) have been confirmed for the production version, they (the round headlights) will be slightly larger ..like on the Phantom.
