"On one level, this is a completely pointless comparison. You see, the folks with the Benjamins to splurge on the $308,350 Rolls-Royce Ghost we show here, or the $226,485 Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed and $209,500 Aston Martin Rapide that accompany it, are unlikely to sweat the mundane details the rest of us do when choosing between a Ford or a Chevy, or a Honda or a Toyota. Stuff like gas mileage and resale values and whether one might be a couple tenths quicker to 60 than the other are mostly irrelevant.

Even the price difference between the Rolls and the Aston -- money that will buy you a house in many parts of America -- is of little consequence. The people who buy these things usually own six or seven other cars; opening their garage doors is like opening a closet: "Hmmm...it's nice and sunny. Think I'll take the Lamborghini convertible today."

I can't fathom that the new "baby Rolls" is still over $300K.
