    I traded in my 2011 Ghost for the 2012 Extended Wheelbase version. There are marked improvements this year. The side view mirrors are no longer off the Phantom, they are smaller, more approproate in size. The seats are better looking and softer. They use the same Run Flat tires but have larger brakes I am told. Also, the rough ride that is often associated with RF Tires is gone now. And the car is more quiet riding. It is still a sportier suspension, nice and tight, but no longer rough.

    They spec. 0W- or 5W-30 or 0W-40 oil. I will use 0W-20 as usual when it gets time to change the oil.

    The ride is more smooth and quiet but the 2012 has a modified suspension compared to my old 2011 SWB version. The steering response may be better or maybe it's just my imagination.

    Anyway both my wife and I prefer this model and the color combo is over the top.

    Beautiful cars .

    I had my Ghost out yesterday preparing for a 400 mile drive up to St. Helena for wife’s RE commercial business.

    Bug man spraying my aircraft hangars said he bought the exact copy for less money from the Lexus dealers in 2003. I’m not seeing it. :)
