Bought by people who want nothing more than to be noticed. If you really wanted the most capable, cossetting luxury cruising car you'd have an
S-class. On that basis it's hard not to class anyone driving one as either an auto-journalist or a to55er. 
Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead is purely coincidental. Some assembly required. Batteries not included. Contents may settle during
shipment. Use only as directed. No other warranty expressed or implied. Do not use while operating a motor vehicle or heavy equipment. Subject to
approval, terms and conditions apply. Apply only to affected area. For recreational use only. All models over 18 years of age. No user-serviceable
parts inside. Subject to change. As seen on TV. One size fits all. May contain nuts. Slippery when wet. For office use only. Edited for television.
Keep cool; process promptly.

Saw a convoy of these things in Conisbrough near Doncaster today, must have been 10 Rolls Royces in total with a few Ferraris, Lambos, Bentleys and
the odd M series BMW and AMG Mercs thrown in for good measure!!
Conisbrough is the LAST place you'd expect to see such exotica!!

Because kits are for girls!!

Bloke driving didn't look young enough to be a current footballer.
The number plate was S1 NES spaced to read "SINES" if that means anything to anyone

Friend works for an engineering consultancy. They went round asking all the women questions anonymously about some cars to gauge opinion. She was the
only engineer asked.
They knew which was her answers ..... she's the only one who mentioned suicide doors and wankle engine on the RX7 
(i also believe she didn't once write "nice colour".

I really don't see the point in a car like that...
If I had enough cash to buy one, I wouldn't... I'd rather spend the money on 2 or 3 cars better targeted on the sort of driving I do (e.g.
one sporty, one luxurious, one REAL 4x4).

Bloke in our town has / had one. Just a down to earth guy that made some money, built house grand designs stylee.
Car looked strange parked in local Asda carpark. Too big to fit in the bays too.
Not sure if he sold it as ive not seen it for a while. They are a strange blend of nice car / horrible car. Classy and vulgar at the same time.
If i had the money to buy one id probs opt for smart RR Sport and maybe a M5 tourer as everyday cars and a sports job for the weekend - and still go
on nice holiday with the change (doubt id buy any of them new either).
