    Jaguar- Land Rover Bellevue is showing the new XJ8 and 04 Contential GT on Saturday May 15th from 10am to 3pm. Some may want to go over after Speedware, they have a barbeque lunch and other events, should be a good party. I believe they will have roped off parking for F cars.

    i didn't think they were bringing any into the country yet.

    is this the silver Bentley USA car that's been seen in SoCal repeatedly with manufacturer plates?

    or are there more cars now in the states?

    My father in law took a look yesterday and got a bid on it. He is strongly considering it. I could enjoy that.

    I think they look great in person. A little taller than I expected, but everything looked nicely put together. If people fit in the back, it'd be a nice daily. My only concern would be the really heavy curb weight affecting the feel of the car, but stated speeds of <5sec to 60 and 198mph top speed show it's at least fast going straight.

    Chaa has been driving one in the UK and had good things to say.

    John, found this at Ferrari Los-Gatos (now Silicon Valley Auto)

    Not sure about the back view. I think I still prefer an Aston Martin for the British marquee

    Anyone heard if one is coming to Portland?

    I assume Monte Shelton is a Bentley dealer...

    I don't like where they're going with the frontend styling. Interior looks great though. Have to see one in person to make a final judgement.

    I think the Arnage T is the best in the Bentley lineup.

    355, CGT? tough choice. For now, 355!! When Anna can climb in and out of the back seat by her self, maybe I'll go from 4d to a 2d sedan.

    Perhaps a 612 with manual shifter by then? It's everything you need rolled into one.

    Better to get a late model 456M GT and not have to eat the depreciation on the 2+2's. I see them going for 140's now for an 02.

    Well, it will be a while before Anna could climb in the back and sit in a child's seat all by herself. By the time she could do that, John could get a 612 for a pretty good price.

    Heck, I might look into getting a 612 as an all-purpose car if the price is right. :)

    I was merely saying that I like the 612 for what it is. I like a lot of different cars. Doesn't mean I HAVE TO buy them.
