Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII: Why Jeeves Is Pushing His CV On Monster.com
In a world where we have gotten used to coupe-styled four-door sedans with about as much head room in the backseat as a regular coupe and even off-road convertibles for those who truly want to inhale the scent of pine trees, confusion regarding one’s place in a luxury vehicle is actually quite rare.
