2009 Frankfurt Auto Show: Rolls-Royce Ghost

Rolls-Royce appears to have caught the same disease as Aston Martin. And that is generally a good thing.

We like to think of this ailment as The Ramones Syndrome. Named for the early punk band, the disease is characterized by pleasant repetition in all endeavors. The Ramones had essentially one song, but it was a fun song. Likewise, Rolls and Aston have essentially one stunning look each that is applied to everything both companies do.

The so-called baby Rolls is basically a less grotesquely huge version of the Phantom, with a bit less severity.

This car has the best overall proportions of any current Rolls. It looks the part without overdoing it.

Nice, but not as nice as the Mulsanne (though that car's against the Phantom)
