iPhone Update: 200EX @ IAC

By Gunnar Heinrich

SECOND day without true Internet (still moving in…) Anyhow, the Rolls mini-celebration in NY for the 200EX went swimmingly; save for mysterious, last minute damage to the show car. Somewhere Sir Henry harumphed a prodigious, patrician harumph in obvious consternation.

The logistics team were a model of grace and professionalism and the presentations were a model of British understatement.

Interviews plus pics a plenty to follow tomorrow. Initial reaction: Rolls has a commercial winner on its hands, but the inset grille represents a sudden onset of modesty that may have put the marque on the slippery slope to compromise. Time will afford the appropriate hindsight.

In the meantime, the glorious Phantom carries on the Pomp and Circumstance -two were positioned curbside at IAC along with the new coupe. They looked magnifocent inspite of March’s cold light.

Much more tomorrow.

Dieu et Mon Droit!
