Why are we discussing these things and ignoring the spectacular job they did with the new model. Its anywhere from 700 to 900 lbs lighter then last years model, it has a better luxury ride and yet handles better in the corners, looks a lot better (not that last years model was not already very attractive).

They have made numerous improvements and have done a great job in catching up to the technology that luxury competitors are at. I am very excited about picking one up, they configurator is finally up but without any prices.
They really are teasing me.

Because it's Friday night, my dinner was a pizza, I have nowhere to go, and I'm on the internet. Relevant and reasonable discussions aren't really on the agenda here.

Do you get the diesels in the States?

Guess it's the full bastard-mad supercharged one for you then, time for some independent verification of those 181 miles

At the minimum the SC model, might do the autobiography if its not too much. Will probably never do triple digits in it though. That is for the GT2.
One time did 140 in the CTT, so would never exceed that in a RR. Having less balls as I age.

Yes, its taking time for us to warm up to diesels. I love my bluetec MB, get over 600 miles to a tank and 400lb/tq.

Can you keep an RR SC Autobiography under 3 digits in the US? It's €202.000 here ($265k)...

I was referring to speed in MPH not price. The price of the SC autobiography here starts at 130k and will go up to 137k with the options.
The regular SC which I want order will start at 99k but will rise to 114K when I add all my options.
Don't plan on exceeding 100mph in this though, even though they can get it up to 181mph.

Oh haha! I'm sorry misread that part. I also shouldn't compare prices with the US anymore, makes me sad.
