The design has aged incredibly well
because the car has been in production since 2003 with basically no major changes
That's not why things age well@@mega-hck
It's weird how they call it ugly. The design has aged incredibly well and it still looks relatively new for a car that's nearly 20 years old.
Same thing happened to the E60 5-Series; everyone called it ugly when it was new but it aged incredibly well.
But both are rather ugly, new car can look ugly as well
It’s a silly review by a have not.
had a bmw e39 m5 20 years ago... when the e60 m5 came out i didnt bought it cause i thought it was ugly...
facepalming my head every day i see one on the road for not buying it...
@@LordLauderdale He’s owned Rolls Royce and Bentley himself. It’s just his opinion.
Compared to the outgoing model and considering this was 2003 it was considered very brash looking. However as time has gone on it has aged very well, and looks relatively restrained compared to some cars!
And yet the Phantom is now more popular than Quentin Willson....
You can't really compare the modern Phantom against the 2003 Phantom. It takes time for people to accept new design language.
They got that wrong. Styling improved with time and is a symbol of class.
I think the look is now iconic. Love it or hate it, you can't pay for it 😂😂😂
Nothing constructive in this review, just very shallow personal opinion.
My attainable dream car (getting one in 2021)
Gabriel Adimabua good man👍🏻
this guy used to be top gear
I’m an American so I’m immune to feeling embarrassed. Therefore I approve of it.
I visualised the sarcastic tone of Clarkson as I listened to the commentary 😜
Jealousy comes in many forms. I love my Phantom and so do all my friends.
I’ve never watched knock off top gear before , it was exactly what I expected .
And now they are all forgotten and the Phantom is iconically famous. Hahaha the Phantom had the last laugh
Especially the side view shows the perfection of its proportions. Long hood, short front overhang, long, sweepy rear. Best looking sedan ever, pure and deliberate design.
It‘s majestic. Anyone who says otherwise is just jealous. And quite possibly the owner of a (leased) S-Class (320) or a Maybach.
Lovely day in good old England.
I am not saying it´s ugly, but not a car what I would desire.
It's fun to review old car reviews to see how wrong they got it sometimes..... Quiton is the kind of guy who went to private school but isn't really part of the elite and obviously still had a chip on his shoulder cause daddy just had an xj and the others got dropped off in rr..... Why on earth did he get a bunch of pretentious toffs in the car to say the styling was ghastly when they weren't rr audience they were targeting actually rich people. When it came out I remember most people loving the styling
Quentin has a conviction for falsely advertising the mileage of a Vauxhall Cavalier.
Interesting take on this automobile. To view the psychological side of both owning or reacting from out- or inside the car is enlightening, but I think, if you have the funds to own such an excellent vehicle, it should not matter that much, what other people think about you, it's what you think and feel, owning and driving it.
To me, the massive front is a bit heavy, but all in all, I would buy one, if I could.
£250k then - £70k now.
And that's a bad thing because?
Oh boy were they wrong !
This thing looks cinematically good, goes to show that car companies can make for odd yet creative and great designs if they wanted to
She looks better today than when she was released.
Looks like HV52 PFF only lasted until 2007 according to the DVLA
Imo a different colour would improve it immensely.
Video looks quite old.
How is it song is called 6:31 ?
BEAUTIFUL ROLLER
is this program still exist?
Airs on Quest, apparently.
no smoother jaguar xj... what is it
HOW OLD is this video?
Random Restoration - Thanks.
"Taken from Series 3 of Fifth Gear, first broadcast in 2003."
The design is beutiful
does this guy make hair dolls in his free time? I had to hide the guinea pigs in the mini barn to protecc
did he just compared the RR ride to a stupid jaguar XJ ???
I revinded 3-5 times just to confirm that he did
Unbelievable.
This 3 like top gear 3! Mhmmmmm
People on this video are socially resented . I find the British are just mad that bmw is producing the RR. The car is amazing. The can't haves always finds excuses to show resentment.
The can't help thinking that this review was tinted with cynicism and resentment toward the end.
Timeless design! Ugly? Must have shit in their eyes
Incandescent turn signal lights. So much for "The best car in the World". But at least the brake lights are LEDs.
Why the hell they're uploading old videos ??
Cause they're old
Not the prettiest but
Boy does it have presence.
All that design investment & a huge cost to the customer. Then they cock it all up by installing windscreen wipers from a LHD BMW.....Oh the shame !
Wilson obviously has hard feelings about RR. Probably because he will never be able to afford one.
He's a hack used car salesman who was convicted for lying about the mileage of a Vauxhall Cavalier.
Atleast the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan is beautiful...
Or wait.
🤣😂😅
I think it beautiful.. I could give a shit what others think
IDOL Car
Fun Fact: *Navigation System comes standard on Rolls-Royce Phantom...*
BMW is a company, famous with its driver oriented cars. Hence it describes itself "Ultimate driving machine". But RR is a PASSANGER'S CAR! Almost none of its owners drives it, unless they are Kardashians or rap singers!
I think its the fundamental part, where BMW sucks. Forexample, joystick is placed perfect, but its screen placed WRONG. My driver doesn't need to know my preferance or what I dial or type, unless I would inform! And Since I would sit behind a seat, as a rear passenger, why on earth that info screen is in the middle of the dashboard! BMW is a good investor, but a horrible patron to lead the RR. Sorry.
Benokan Ruzgar agreed and I’m a bmw man👍🏻
BMWs misunderstanding of luxury is also what killed Rover under their wing. Within 6 years of ownership they took a profitable company and had it making colossal losses.
They have no idea what they talking about this chariot is a masterpiece.. not a car .
This isn’t even the new one anymore
They all criticized Daniel Craig with his first take on Bond. Ffwd 10 yrs, Now he is applauded and embraced as the best Bond by many. The Phantom VII or VIII is the car to buy once you have really made it, Comfortable with style presence & a symbol the world over. The sales figures for BMW & Rolls are astounding and that is what really matters. Ugly by some, or not BMW have done a great job in bringing this marque from the brink of extinction. A good wine takes time to mature, so also the opinion of this Phantom.
I love its vulgar appearance lol it’s a presentation of what money was in that era but not by today’s agenda but simpler times.. not to good for maintenance though lol
#BringTiffBack
the rolls is no smoother than the xj n no quieter than the lexus?? the heck r u talking about..n what a stupid remark towards the end of the vid..clearly the rolls under bmw was a proven success.
Champions League Theme
👍🏻
Make a great video.
You see how envy the reporter is about this car. Poor journalism!
He don't. The guests are.
why are they butchering the rolls and the champions league anthem in one drab show, oooh, yeah, they are 5th gear
Nowadays we have come to like the phantom
Second
First!!
Thank you for ruining my car Quinton
0:31 anything UCL anthem
The car looks like a big-rig truck in front. The only problem is it cant haul 80 thousand pounds. Butt ugly.
They criticized Phantom because German made it.😏
A Rolls Royce own by German, what a shame!
if ugly then just as ugly as any new car.
Andy Collins RIP
This thing is pretty ugly. The comments are absolutely hilarious calling people jealous that they didn’t have one. Nostalgia is one hell of a drug.
Oh please, pretty ugly? This ages much better than any limo.
Sad that’s it’s a BMW - they make impractical, unreliable, esoteric, crap 💩. Personally I find one of the greatest qualities of Luxury to be reliability and in the case of a car Serviceability like the pre-millennium Mercedes
"Former presenter". No need to read or watch any longer, all is said.
I'll still watch it.
