Whether the future Rolls-Royce will just be a glorified 7-Series is still to be determined with certainty.

A new image of the $270,000 (€212,900) RR4 demonstrates that the company’s vehicles are moving toward those of the BMW, its parent company.

Spy shots got an initial viewing of the passenger cabin, and even though the dashboard is camouflaged, the dial from BMW’s iDrive is obviously observed. It has already been determined that the entry-level Roller, which will be available for sale in 2010, will have underpinnings in common with the latest 7-series, however, component sharing will be maintained at the lowest possible minimum to preserve exclusivity.

Wow what shocking news! Oh wait every Rolls in production has an "I" drive. The author needs to spend five seconds of research before writing a story.

I know! These authors gotta research what they're writing about. Rolls Royce has had an iDrive ever since BMW bought it and brought out the Phantom. It's located in the center console with a very interesting way of making it appear. Not only that, their rear seat entertainments are also been controlled by the iDrive.

Big difference here is that the location of the iDrive is no longer as sleek as the Phantom...makes the car feel even more like a souped up 7 series with a Rolls Royce dashboard and the same old gearshift stalk on the steering column.

Evidently, this new RR is also going to change the English language. What does "reveice" mean?
