I like it. I think it's much better that the BMW/Rolls or the Mayback. I also love the Bentley's Stanley sells. Those were and still are the days. At the recent LeMans classic race they were glorious! I also like Bug's, and I think the new one is very beautiful. With 992HP it should be pretty fast as well. |

Bugatti sounds real nice, but i'm not a big fan of old cars... i'd take a new one in a heartbeat, though... |

Betcha they sell alot of these (relatively speaking), cause it captures the modern Bentley market, and then some, at a lower price point. And DES, if you wanna see what some consider "real" Bentleys, run a search for Stanley Mann. I think he has a site, and specializes in the pre-war, pre-RR merger Bentleys which were "sports" cars in their time. But i still think i'd rather have a Bugatti (old one, that is). |

Hope I'm not being too direct here.... but every time I see a Bentley or a Rolls, it looks like the person driving it is screaming, "Hey everybody, look at me... I'm the world's biggest a$$hole". If I someday make $100,000,000, I will not own one of these cars.

The interior looks like a very nice rendition of the 2003 Lincoln Navigator interior. What an ugly car! |

This is the first Bentley i actually like... i like the interior, too... Only thing is, could they ever break away from that conservative mold and maybe introduce their first sports car with a manual transmission rather than that triptronic bulls**t...? Other than that, i like the car, although... i don't recall seeing any cup holders in those pictures... sigh... |

I especially don't like the interior. They could have modernized it a little bit if this is to be their "sport" offering. Ernesto |
