Driving the Last Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Delivered to North America. This Turbocharged 6.75L V8 powers the end of an era before VW group took control of RR. In addition to Ruched Leather, this opulent extended wheel base Rolls is the only one of its kind with American Redwood trim.

Yes, build quality and elegance ages way better than tech! Why I love other cars like LC500 and Panamera so much, great build quality when cars in their class / price range focus more on tech and flash.

Oh but there are stupid sensors and complicated componentry that will take you to the cleaners with that pure functionality and exceptional creature-comfort$! I have been driving Rolls-Royce saloons most of my life. Check out how expen$ive it is to overhaul the brakes/self leveling system, and exhaust systems! Like I tell people, if one must ask "how much" one does not belong behind the wheel of a RR! There's nothing more complicated than the hydraulic system on a Silver Shadow, Silver Wraith II, Silver Spirit, and Silver Spur saloon! I'll put it this way: if one doesn't proceed with caution one could end up with an extremely expensive nightmare that never ends...

I wasn't specific enough. I'm talking about everyday cars that are built with all the electronic gizmos you can imagine, but then the dashboard or the seat start to crack and make noise because everything is cheap plastic. Notice how Toyota interiors age far better than all of the GM range or some Fords. It goes for the engine as well, we have plastic water pumps and manifolds that don't last. All I'm asking is quality over quantity.
