I drove one today
I drove the Bentley GT today and would describe it as a Phaeton Coupe (I own a Phaeton sedan). Similar brake feel, ponderous handling, duplicate electronics (although the Bentley is missing some nice Phaeton touches like cooled seats and an automatic trunk closer). More powerful, of course, but not very sporting. I would take a CL65 over the Bentley anyday.

I agree the Bentley is similar to the Phaeton Coupe. Still, it has the shortened frame and the 552 HP. The interior is better. I do wish it came with the wood steering wheel as the Phaeton. In the same respect that I would spend the extra for the SLK or the Chyenne over the Chrysler crossfire or Toureg, it's one's image decision, but for the money, you can't beat the Phaeton or the Tourag.
