    A lot prettier than the Bagataya or whatever they're calling the Bentley SUV. The BRG exterior and the cocoa/diamond stitched interior is a great combo. I can say one thing - I wish I was going to the Geneva Auto Show with this and the other highly anticipated new models being announced! Thanks for posting….T

    Noble effort though probably won't be cheap to make; depends on what platform it is based on. Design looks familiar yet different with some nice surface treatment choices. The rear treatment is especially interesting. Smaller is always better in the current climate of bloated over styled offerings that litter the landscape these days...

    Amazing - Only Bentley I would ever consider buying
    But as usual the production version will be a lot more tame

    Looks like it will be sharing the upcoming 928's chassis ?

    Interior is great, not so keen on the exterior. Bentley are known for their beefy front ends and yet compact all round. I do hope they make some improvements before its in production mode. I think the direction is great, good to see some step into the more sporty arena by Bentley. If they really want the sports segment 2 seater they need the power and performance to match as well as a distinctive design…to many manufacturers compete in this market. Overall…am a Bentley lover…think its great step, just some tweaks to go.

    But again….WHAT AN INTERIOR!!!

    Is it just me, or does anyone find that "6" visible through the front grill a bit cheesy? Distracting?….T

  12. I've always been more of an Aston fan than a Bentley fan but if this is an indication of the direction Bentley is going that may very quickly change. I wonder where it will be priced though. I don't suppose by "Baby Bentley" they'll be pricing it against the F Type or V8 Vantage?

    They video indicates it will sit the same as the Conti in terms of market pricing
    IMO Bentley would never seek to price against an F type

    Where's this Bentley release that you speak of? I've not seen any hint of pricing.

    Me too... and if you cover the nose of the car it looks like it would be a new DB9 with V12 Zagato style fenders.

    i saw it yesterday. very nice. interior stellar. reminds me of an aston profile, but thats not a bad thing. they said they would build it, and the price in geneva will be similar to the continetal. but nothing definite.

    Poor choice of words, I apologize.
    Wolfgang Durheimer mentioned during the conference in Geneva that the price should be around 120k Pound Sterling.
    Hence the $180k floating around.

    Sounds like a reasonable price - Hope they stay true to the concept though
