First Look - Bentley Flying Spur 4DR

While we're busy imagining the new S-Class, look at what Bentley (ala VW) has come up with !

too many to list
I am not sure if that Bentley looks like any Kia I have seen but they do copy cars out right, cars like the Lexus GS 430 & Jaguar S type and now there is one that looks like the S class. So I wouldn't be surprised if they came out with something that looked like that awesome Bentley. By the way Kia sucks and someone should do somthing about them biting off great designs.


P.S. Just went to the Kia website, their Amanti looks exactly like that Bentley. What *******s

The old ones had more presence. Who am I kidding, though? If I could afford one, I'd buy a Maybach for that price anyways.

I like old Bentley design but this one has too much of "asian invasion".

For this price the Maybach is a far better solution!

I understand that the Bentley should be HALF of the price of a Maybach. It's supposed to appeal to the upper end of the S-Class market, i.e. S600, but priced around $160,000 or so.

I agree and think it is the Continental GT sedan. If this is the case, it cannot be compaired to a Maybach or a RR Phantom since it is only half the price.

It is indeed the 4-door version of the Continental GT. It will retail for less than $200k, I believe, and so I guess most would not put it in the same class as the Phantom and 57/62. The Arnages are all in the $200k-<$300k level, though, so do you all think they still can't be compared to the RR/Maybach? I've also heard that Bentley in general, when affiliated with RR, was supposed to be more sporty luxurious, while RR was flat out luxury.

I've never driven a Maybach, but I have driven both the S-class and the Arnage. Hands down the S-class is a better car in every aspect than the Arnage: Power, accelleration, feature content, fit and finish, ride, handling -- for half the price.

IMHO driving the old Bentleys is akin to driving a really pretty U-Haul truck.
