He should go with what he feels is best for himself. If others have a problem with him driving it and be that judgemental, they probably aren't people he would want to be around anyway.

That being said, I think there are lots of more suitable options for him as a car to drive, but if he wants the RR, he should go for it.

I don't think it's flashy.

I think it's just too damn big?

How long does it take to learn how to parallel park that beast!!!

well said. i always say this when people ask questions regarding what color wheels to get..or whether or not to do this or do that..do what YOU want not what anyone else wants.

My vote goes for a Flying spur as it is generally less flashy and cheaper.

I disagree... the ewb is definitely a chauffer car, but what are the options for ultra luxury?

No other car on the road has the presence of a Phantom, period. On this forum people would be more adept to praising a high-end sports car but for your average Joe on the streets, nothing commands attention like a Phantom.

With that said, the Phantom is definitely on the list of flashiest cars out there. It is, also, the ultimate when it comes to luxury cars and prestige, IMO.

If your friend is under 50, tell him to skip it for now. Aside from what I mentioned above it's not very age appropriate for the younger crowd.

I agree. if he wants to go ultra low-key, let him drive a Mercedes S600 or an Audi A8 W12. All three are amazing automobiles.

In all honesty, how can you not "be flashy" but even consider and want a Phantom? It screams look at me IMO!

Awesome car, tell him to get it.

Flashy is the farthest thing my father would be described as. He is/was a hard working immigrant that made the right choices at the right times. So when he turned 70...........he bought himself a Phantom. He drives it himself. He drives it everywhere. He drives it to his approximately 400,000 square feet of retail spaces to pick up checks from all his tenants! He doesn't give a rats *** what they think about him. If they have a problem with it............they sure don't say it to his face. Its not about being "flashy".........its about "success".
