    It has lost it's "Continental" name, so I thought a new thread was needed.

    From the A-pillar back looks excellent. But I'm not sure the Continental's styling cues in the front mate too well with the rest of car.

    A shame.

    I guess will have to continue saving up for a Mulsanne.

    Or something.

    Generally an attractive car...but lacks a little of Bentley's usual brutal substance and frankly looks just a little too svelte and blah for a Bentley. The side profile looks like an Audi. Don't get me wrong - I like the shape - it's just doesn't suit a Bentley. I am glad they kept Bentley's usual front fascia theme, though, and the largish sail panel and sculped little quarter panel "muscle bulge" are the high points.
    An it harm none, do as ye will

    Approximately 79% of statistics are made up.

    That's funny, I think the front fits nicely with the rest of the car, but I'm not sure about the back. Those rear lights seem a bit out of place.

    It's predecessor was as blend as it could be, this looks to me like a major improvement.
    But off course the Mulsanne beats this by miles.

    It is distinctive.

    At least it doesn't look like a massively expensive Avensis anymore.

    I'll be holding off for the Mulsanne-Azure, personally.
