Where is that stated? I would not be too sure about that and the photograph below is a prime example of why. This fold out table is a highly clumsy piece of engineering that you would not see in a Phantom or RR. Screws on the sides are exposed and there is mixture of black and silver painted metal. It's not a very handsome execution. The leather look much weaker too, especially the one on under AC vents over the transmission tunnel. Sorry but the craftsmanship in the Phantom and Arnage interiors is on a different level.

it's amazing how many forummembers can judge craftmanship and quality just on sight.

Like Rik said above, you cannot judge the quality of these cars just by pics on the internet. Doing so is stupid.

Anyways, all that was stated in the press release. It's not like I'm making it up or anything.

I don't like it. Prefer the Phantom, by far. The shape of the car, these few soft lines, are hurting the majesty of the car.

The design of the interior is not very inspiring either. For the price of an Arnage, no hesitation for me...

Concerning the craftmanship...

Black plastic with apparent screws does say a lot about the craftmanship, even if you don't feel the quality of the screw and how well it matches the screwdriver's head...

Such details have no place in such an über-expensive car. Even very good screws must be hidden.

Great. Couldn't have come at a better time either!

Britain's super-rich ravaged by recession

When even the super rich are feeling it, you know something's gotta give... perhaps the new Rolls in the driveway might be it.

I hate that BMW is behind it, but the car looks good in my book. Doesn't look cheap at all compared to the Phantom like the Flying Spur to the Arnage.

Matter of fact I hope RR/BMW has better sense then to put this in Arnage price range when it should be in the Flying Spur price rang. I know they got bettern sense then that.

You can NOT see that it is plastic, it could be black metal, could be coated with a fine leather trim, ...
The BS continues.
