Bentley Brooklands vs. Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe

[NicFromLA]

What's your choice in the battle of the mega-coupes?

If possible please include the exterior/interior combo in which you would order your own mega-coupe.

I would not order it in the first place, but if forced to choose I would prefer the Bentley. When I first saw the EX101 concept I found the car extremely vulgar, and the production version has not improved much. This is reflected in the new coupe as well....

[Ferrer]

I knew this was coming...

For me I think it has to be the Bentley. I love that feeling that in it it's like you owned the world or something. Color combo would be BRG exterior with black interior.

If you want subtle, buy a 3 Series. To my mind these cars are meant to be the Murcielagos of luxury coupes. I also like these cars because I'm sure they'll mean that at Villa d'Este 2048, there won't just be Enzos and Reventons representing this decade.

I personally love the Phantom Coupe; I love the romance and grandeur it conjures up. However the Brooklands is, as Jeremy Clarkson used to describe the Ferrari 612 Kappa, "an exercise in restraint." Which is probably the reason a certain somebody we both know ordered one . . . in blue of course.

I like where your head is with the BRG. However, I'd do a tan or cocoa brown interior instead of black.

I would take the Brooklands and I would do BRG as well, maybe Silver and then probably a tan interior.

I love the Brooklands so I'll take that, mine would be black with a brown interior

That's certainly a possibility, but it will be the 90th of the car that's going this year.

Rolls-Royce Phantom coupe, in dark red (or perhaps even two-tone dark red and black) with a tan interior.

Bentley with black exterior and tan interior with black piping.

Bentley. It's more beautiful both inside and out, the Rolls-Royce just can't match how stunning the Bentley is. Also, I just find the high-end Bentleys considerably more desirable than Rolls Royces

there'll surely be something like "The Pieter Melissen Collection", who knows, maybe RM auctions will sell your cars

That'd be hot. I hadn't even thought about that car in red.
