Someone could say the same about you and your luxury vehicles...and about anyone else on these forums for that matter. Are we all just showoffs then?

You're a HATERR.

Lux for price, I agree definetly refined. Quattroporte comes close in interior lux as well in looks... Unfortunately I see the GT too common in affluent metro areas...
Sorry for the hijack but how are you Yuforia? We need to do another meet soon.

moderator !!!!

Can we please close and lock this thread from any more negative replys.

I have already got my questions answer 1 year ago, and this thread has become more and more off topic and disrespectful remarks are unessary.

So lets move on to other topic that req more attention....

Is only a car, not a big deal. Bentleys are so common, is everywhere here in So Cal, so regardless of who the driver is, who cares !!!!!

We have a number of clients with CGT's and they love them. Most say they are very reliable and good fun. From a tuning side, they are brilliant. We get an additional 100 hp out of them.

Nope. Thanks for saying the cars arent impressive. My goal wasn't to impress anyone. It doesn't matter to me what you think of them
