VW's crappy engineering and lack of innovation are always so obvious, even before a test-drive confirms it....

Parktronic bulletholes on a modern car, when MB got rid of them 3+ yrs ago

Speed still has a feeble ~550lb-ft of tq, easily outgunned by 600, let alone a 65

The POS Veyron lacks side/head airbags despite weighing 4300+lbs

Truly appreciate '10 S65 engineering and innovation only after driving the most costly, latest crap from VW or Fiat...

You are absolutely right!
Next time some guy pulls up to you at a traffic light in his POS Veyron,he will lustfully gaze at your MERCEDES CL and say to himself: I should've got the Benz instead of this crappy Bugatti.....

It's a great looking ride. Don't really know to much about what's under the hood. Very classy. I'm guessing people don't buy these for the track. You can't help but like the style of Bently and Aston Martin

It's a Phantom ..
I can't figure out why no one's saying this

Clear as day, front, back, side .. don't get me wrong, the Phantom is hot, but this is nearly a carbon copy, no ?

It doesnt look too much like the Phantom to me? Some similar details but the overall shape is pretty different. Bentley and Rolls have always had similar design language anyway.

i wouldn't call it an exact copy but the phantom was the first thing that came to mind for me as well.

For this kind of money, I'd go with the new Rolls Royce Ghost. Much better looking car IMHO. Now, if I could just get those damn Powerball numbers to cooperate.

"POS Bugatti Veyron" coming from someone that drives a homely CL65, who if i'm not mistaken, claimed that it handles better than a 911 Turbo. On what planet do you live on, if you don't mind me asking?
