That is not surprising.
Dawn is now sold out for Two years.
Do you have any info on how many vehicles two-years production is?

Why not comission Mr. Horacio to build a 4 door Pagani limousine super sports hyper car? More sensible choice IMO
Wasn't Betty Swollocks an airtraffic controller too?

the dawn would probably overshadow the phantom drophead.

Of course! Lubrication is very important, I always say.No love for WD40?
Does wonders for squealing doors, so I can get home late
Yeah, but dont forget, there were two versions of Windows XP, Home and Professional.
The Professional version was outstanding and was the OS on my third laptop. It was the XP Home addition that was unstable and problematic on my second. Windows XP Pro was used mostly in businesses. Microsoft finally pulled the plug on this more than 12 year old operating system in April 2014. Getting back on topic.
That is a wide generalization. This thread is all about personal opinion and preference so it all cuts
down to how one defines automotive superiority. None of these cars are perfect but the S-Cabriolet is the more complete and balanced package I believe. The beauty of the S-Cabriolet is it`s quiet sophistication. Being most efficient, it offers more safety and luxury engineering than the Rolls Royce Dawn (or any other cabriolet in this price tag) It is lighter on it`s feet and most likely handles better than the Rolls, especially with the S63 AMG Cabriolet option.
The weight of the Rolls Royce Wraith is 5380lbs. (2440kg). It is 636 lbs. (288.4kg) heavier than the Merc S63 4-Matic coupe. The Rolls Dawn is going to be at least 300-400lbs heavier than the Wraith. That is a lot of heft! This is not packaging efficiency (or what I would personally call overall engineering superiority on a whole.) Rolls Royce is not built off those principals to begin with and its customers do not demand it. This is one of the main qualities that separate these vehicles.
Rolls Royce cars are elaborate automotive show pieces that will definitely get you some attention on the road depending on where you live.

This time I picked RR, even though Mercedes-Benz is probably my favorite manufacturer since I was a kid. The S Cabriolet is amazing and if we are talking going through the twisties or a road next to the sea (like west coast USA, can't remember the name of the highway) then a V8 AMG Cabrio must be amazing.
I also love RR. It's not the price or the exclusivity. I just happen to like bespoke stuff and I appreciate craftsmanship, especially the kind of craftsmanship found at Goodwood and people who take pride on what they do like it happens at Goodwood.
To put it some way, I know this cars are crafted with love
the secret ingredientBut I'd get a black Arnage before a RR. Damn that thing is gooooor-geous!
In other words, I agree with you
