Rolls Royce Cullinan
Yet another unlikely manufacturer has succumbed to the marketing draw of producing an SUV. Not sure I like the name or the design of the bodyshell. Just hope the new Defender doesn't look like this though.

Oh dear.

I've never been a big fan of Rolls Royce, but the styling over the past 10 years or so is in my opinion appalling.
Most of the older models had some curves and their sheer bulk was disguised to some extent, but the latest incarnations look to have been drawn up by a designer who only possesses a straight edge.

Still, I guess it won't leak or lose the drive between the engine and gearbox!!

There was a senior BMW guy on Radio 4 this morning talking about it. When asked about build location (bearing in mind Brexit and that 90%+ are likely to be exported) he stressed how important it was to the brand that it was built in the UK.

I wonder if JLR were listening.

Yes it was nice to hear the CEO of Rolls Royce fully supporting his company's decision to continue to assemble the car in Britain which was refreshing to hear coming from a German national. I must admit I've got to the point now that I don't care where they build the new Defender - JUST GET ON WITH IT. Defender 90XS SW
