[QUOTE=Coventrysucks]I just noticed that it looks like a Phaeton in side profile.[/QUOTE]
i was thinking arnage and conti gt... :p
nah seriously the C-Pillar looks like it came straight off an Arnage as does the curvature of the rump... and the lights at both the front and the rear, as well as the front end styling (being VERY obvious here) is straight off the GT
just looks like it has all the recent styling cues of designs from Bentley...
I like the Bentley Continentals...the sedan really looks exactly as it should, based on the Continental GT and their previous styling heritage. But it also makes their much more expensive Arnage look a bit old/outdated...wonder how many people will still want to spend the big $$ for one of those?
Will this new lower-line of cars from Bentley hurt sales of their traditional rides? Will that not matter if they're making money? Apparently they're making very good profits from the Continental GT, vs. the VW Phaeton from which it's derived.
Wow. Looks pretty good. I like the continental influence
the roof is too high- either the car is too tall or not long enough because it looks like a passat for how short (length) and tall it is. also the rear end is terrible
[QUOTE=Coventrysucks]I can't believe they just stuck the lights from the Continental GT on there... come on Bentley, they're charging £100,000 - it isn't as if they need to save money on such things.
They just don't look good, especially the rears - they don't "fit in" with the rest of the design.
Why ruin a nice design with such poor attention to detail?
4wd and still using the W12 ahead of the front axle = great recipie for understeer on a Bentley. Disgraceful.
Rwd & V8 or 12 - as it always has been, yet they'll still try using the word "tradition" in the marketing.
BMW took RR by the horns and managed to come up with a car that summed up everything a Rolls should be. VAG took Bentley and ruined it.

Hear, hear !
I won't start uttering my hate for VAG here.
Why wernt the sketches followed?
They look like a sleek strected gt.
This is just like the queens bentley, YUK!
that´s a sin for the name flying spure.
I think the continental GT was enough ugly to make another car with his body...
I prefered the last continental and the azure. Volkswagen out of england now!!!!!!!!!!
nice car but the roof doesnt go with the front. the front is modern & the roof is old fashioned so they dont go together. from the side it looks like a london taxi because its so fat.

Thx Matt! I knew you wouldn't let me down. 1024x768 is NOT what i call Hi-Res.
I'm just accustomed to Matts definition of "Hi-Res". :D
