Porsche Turbo Stage 4, Cayenne S ... gone C43, C32, ML55 & Ducati 999.
Cool

the SL is much more beatufull, and more High Tech,... but I do believe that the BMW must be beacuse is really but really similar to the uncoming Serie-6.:p
both ways the SL600 and SL55 will kicks it's butt :o :o :o
bye

JamE55,

Amazingly enough I read they are keeping the price relatively low for a Bentley. $150,000 to $175,000. It has a W12 twin turbo engine assembled at crewe instead of VW's plant. It shares frame and underbody parts with the new Phaeton and Audi A8; however nothing in the interior is shared with the cousins. Needless to say this is Bentley's downmarket move and it's gonna **** off a lot of Arnage owners that paid big bucks for the exclusivity of the Bentley name. Good news is we'll be needing BentleyWorld.org pretty soon.

Thanks WyattEarp!

Amazing Bently trying to get in the $100k to $200k price range league which are the 360's and 996 TT.

I have to say that that Bentley is fantastic. That is something I would buy in the future. You know the interior probably isn't too shabby! I'd love to see a Maybach coupe!!!!!!!!!!

I know of one CL (W215) owner that already has his eyes on one of these Bently's ... He most likly will be selling his 2000 CL500 for one. So, in essence this may take some people away from a CL600 or so.

You really think so? I couldn't see Bentley putting out a product that wasn't all Bentley.

Straight of the August 2002 CAR Magazine (it's a UK rag). Did I forget to add AWD.
