Go for the S/CL65,Bentley pre Speed models are quite boring and have a very lazy throttle response with turbo lag bad enough to spoil the pleasure.
The only advantage a Bentley would have if you lived in a Snow Belt ,where with the "Global Warming" Winters are getting longer ,colder and snowier and AWD would prove very handy.

drove into a HUGE puddle of water :/ Didnt think there was that much water lol... the 65s are real fun and exciting to drive and in my opinion have alot more to offer than the bentley, but ive always wanted a bentley! only 19, and im sure il get bored with the bentley very soon.

S55 AMG
The guy I bought my '05 S55 from last year bought a Bentley to replace it. I've talked with him a few times since the sale and he said that the S55 was much more fun to drive and that the 'look at me' factor with the Bentley gets old quickly..he lives in Los Angeles.

Am I missing something? How did you total an S class by driving through a puddle?

Stay with the 65. Maybe a CL this time? We do tune allot of Bentleys and they can be made into real beasts. Aside from adding 100hp, we sharpen that throttle response as well.

06 CL65 IMO looks much better than the 07's.
