    Respectfully disagree...classy...subtle...elegant...along those lines IMHO...after all it is meant more to be an executive express for those "in the know" than an attention grabber for the masses.

    Congrats, one of my fave sedans!
    I hope to pick one up for my next car.
    Is this an S or base model ?
    Please post an overall review/impressions. I like the small changes on 09+ compared to earlier model cars.

    Totally disagree and love that leather choice. Gorgeous. This is my exterior color preference for mine, as well. Although, black leather and piano black is calling my name.

    Congrats!!

    A stunning car! The only detail I don`t like is the wooden steering wheel.

    Too much wood in cars always remind me of ol`Jaguars and this QP is a modern (!!) classic.....

    The wood is okay, the size of the rim is out of perspective with the interior space. Atleast from the photo.

    Elegant color combo

    I love a wood clad wheel. I had a brabus one fitted to my E55 because I like them so much. But the QP is a little odd with the wood being on the outer perimeter of the wheel instead of being just touches of wood and leather. For this reason I prefer the subtleness of the piano black wood.

    But still, gorgeous car, Motorcity.

    Well just finished driving her from Naples, FL to Detroit, what an outstanding ride home. The comfort was outstanding on her two day ride home. 21.6 mpg ave. We had an ave speed of 68 mph. An executive express for sure and got plenty of looks all the way. It's the base model and has everything I needed on the ride.

    Congrats on your QP acquisition. Hope Naples Bentley treated you properly. I know some of the guys over there. I still have my [pioneer] QP......an 05 in silver w/ cuoio. I love the car even though it's 8 yrs old. Still luxurious and comfortably quick.

    QPs are such classy cars.

    Graham! Do hope to hear this and see this QP around the Detroit Metro area next driving season.

    Stunning and classy color combo.

    It's a great store, we have bought several Jags from them as well.

    You most certainly will, mostly on the Woodward corridor, my office is in Plymouth but it won't go there, that's CTS-V territory!

    Graham- Beautiful. Most of the ones I see are black, and the metallic gray is much more attractive to me. Was that woodrim steering wheel an option? Looks nice with that car and is an excuse to wear driving gloves.

    Terry,
    Thanks for the kind comments, I'm not sure with the wheel but it does match the rest of the trim on the interior.

    It is the base model, but it is nicely appointed.
