Imperial thoughts from down under....

**NVS 300** · 05-13-2007, 08:34 PM

For:

nice interior
suicide doors
Imperial as a name, even though it does remind me of Darth Vader

Against:

seems too high in the body or not long enough, possibly both
rims too small (don't they read the forums/see what owners do with the DC product on the road)
not a fan of the boat shape
New Yorker as a name - will kill the export market particularly in the middle east. It's a global market: call it the New Yorker in the US if you want but if you want to sell it OS you'll have to rebadge.

Questions:

why mimic RR?
what engine/trans set up?
what are they "creating" rather than just copying from another marque?

They produce this (courtesy of duke_dallas) and I'm in!

Imperial Approved!!!!!

I'm usually all for retro styling - but not 70's retro! Puke!

WTF is that dash???? And those colors? Brown and purple? How much weed did these guys smoke coming up with this???

And WTF is with those seats? first corner you hit you're going to slide right out....

Obviously it's designed for you to NEVER drive it (beacuase the forward cabin is just pig ugly - read NZ PM Helen Clarke on a bad hair day), always sit in the back which has been done correctly (props on that) and have numb nuts chauffer Jeeves do all the driving, proving once again that DC is just stealing from the poms:

"You are driven in a Rolls but you drive a Bentley"
