Thanks mate.
... I guess I can express myself well about the Phantom beceause I've had the priviledge of having an hour-long stare at the car, and even a sit in the back 'lounge' of the car. At a car dealer ofcourse.... like I know anyone that affluent.
I gotta thank this forum for it though, I've learnt so much about cars, and most importantly learnt the skill of looking past the design of a car as a whole, and
understand its design better, all thanks to those of you here who give insight points of view ...and that includes you Roberto.

That is very true. Being universally recognized doesn't mean being universally loved.... but as you said, atleast those of us here have the ability to see past the
whole and appreciate all the elements and their meanings which create the whole mass.
As for us loving such a car, even if it is a 'tiny' bit crass and ostentatious, .... well, don't we all wish we could lead that comfortable life, even if it were for only a day? I dunno about you guys, but I sure wouldn't mind that.. just tell me where to sign my soul over to the devil.
... suddenly the Spirit of Ecstacy is irresistably luring... aah, the sadistic game of dreams.
