Phantom is the pimpest car around, wont be low key at ALL.
Its all about how much attention you want, there are other cars just as good but doesn't crave a 1/3 of the attention. Bottom line as others has said over and over again, if HE likes it then who cares?

Well, I think more of the issue is that the majority of his childhood friends are blue collar workers. He literally makes more in a week then his friends will make in 10+ years. It's hard for allot of people to accept that.
Not for me. I love being the poorest of my friends! Instead of hating, I use them to learn what the hell I am doing wrong.

Easy fix, tell him to buy his friends Bentley's. Problem solved.

i have sold several phantoms and i dont know a single person that has a driver. everyone ive sld to drives the car and loves the car. i dont think your friend should wory about what people think. if he likes the car he should buy it. that being said its impossible not to get attention. the phantom has its own persauna everyone stops when it comes thru.

If he is afraid of driving it because of the attention. Why not get tinted windows and maybe a armored Phantom?

My friend in hedge funds is looking to get a Phantom. He drove it and fell in love with the car.
The money is not an issue, but he is not at all a flashy and is worried about what his neighbors or friends will say. He does not plan on ever driving it to work to avoid any issues.
Should he just do a high line Benz, which he has had in past or get what he really wants - and let the haters hate?
Thoughts?

Not too flashy, its a car that shows ultimate success. Well then to jealous people they'll think it's too flashy. I say go for it. Congrats to him.
Also Get a driver if he does end up in one..... it will look just weird seeing the owner drive it.
Bentley = Drivers car
Rolls Royce = Driven in (especially a Phantom)

I would say you have to have balance, If his house, his neighborhood, his lifestyle supports that, them more power to him, but you can't drive a phantom and live in a small house.
