Some of these are auto- skill

Come on. The puddle lights are pretty cool

The douche move is just buying a mustang.

They are the worst thing anyone ever thought of for a car. I really, really disagree. Makes a car look cheap er, even as an option. It’s neon for people who need to brag at the same time. Imo, no offence

RIGHT?! who makes these posts???

Btw the M4 has a burnout mode as well

It doesn’t. Its launch control is just really terrible.

Ok two things: firstly, whats wrong with the rear widscreen wiper on the panamera, as a hatchback, Iit doesnt need one which is why it doesnt come from factory, but some people still like to have them, secondly, teak decking on the phantom: It looks beautiful, is not shove it in your face douchey like any of the spirit of ecstacy options, so i dont see the problem with it.

However, I do feel like you missed out the peugeot 107’s option for twin rear central exhausts, which yu know, are important for keeping all 70 or so horsepower free flowing…

But charging £249 for a freaking wiper speaks volumes about excess profiteering
Just think of the markup

Rear window wipers aren’t wrong. Charging extra money for it is.

it should be in the car as standard

Rear windscreen wipers are useful

Yes but on most cars it’s standard - it’s an option on the Panemera.

They are but it ruins the beautiful lines of the rear. IMO.

The teak decking… It’s wood on/in a rolls.

It would be douchey not to get it.

You’re right, it wood be douchey

Yas! My suggestion made it!

I don’t get what’s wrong with the teak decking. It makes the car look really classy and fits perfectly to the rest of the interior. I mean, if I had the money to buy a Phantom Drophead Coupé, I’d probably order the teak decking too.

You forgot the automatic gearbox

Start/ stop buttons are fine but manufacturers need to stop advertising them like it’s some advanced technology. It’s a button not a feature every car has a switch to start it, either the key or button what’s the difference.
