Don't get me wrong, there are some truly sublime details and aspects to the car, but as a whole it doesn't quite come together for me. I had high hopes, because I was very pleasantly surprised when the Phantom was introduced, so this is the opposite, like you say, of that for me. Like you and IB4R said, the styling is very nicely subtle and elegant, but if a Rolls' strongest point is its exterior I think that unless that exterior is truly awe-inspiring it fails the "true Rolls-Royce" test.
