I love this interior

The White designo interior in the 2008-2010 S65's is absolutely stunning. I love how amazing the leather pattern on the door panels and seats look in designo white.

This interior makes the Mulliner package on the Flying Spur look average.

A weekly car wash will do the trick

Looks average to the 65 designo interior.
And yes this car depreciates what is your point again?

Insanely hot, but you'd need to keep a box of latex gloves in the garage and in the trunk.

You're nuts if you think any S65 interior makes a regular flying spur interior look average, much less a mulliner.

There is no comparison in materials, attention to detail in assembly, or overall appearance. The bentley has the nicer interior...period.

My wife's car has the same color interior and it is not that bad to keep clean but keep an ample amount of Letherique in stock. The drivers seat will get a little dirty but cleans easily. The real pain is the piano wood especially on the steering wheel; it shows every litlle smudge and fingerprints. PIA!!!

Did you bother to read the ad where it says that the car is a LEMON LAW BUY BACK?? That is why the car is worth so little compared to the original purchase price. I would guess they probably do not even have $100k into that car. A Mercedes dealer here in Indianapolis had an E55 AMG with 30k miles on it that was a Lemon Law buy back car, and it sat on their lot for almost 4 YEARS with no takers!! Eventually another small import lot bought it and was trying to sell it for low $20k range.

Also, I would be curious about their claim that the warranty is still valid. The dealer here said they would not honor warranty claims on Lemon Law cars.

I like the quilted looked of that interior. I wish that I could take that exact black and white combination and put it in my E63.

sorry about my post, I am just admiring the interior and I would never purchase this car either.

Ok, I guess the $12,000 dollar Designo interior option is a complete joke on a top of a 190,000 dollar car.

I like this designo interior with the quilted leather more than the Mullinger interior. You like the Mullinger more. At the end of the day to each their own.

It is hard to judge interiors by pictures but until you've seen a Mulliner/Phantom interior in person you can't tell.

For me the difference between a designo interior and a RR/Mulliner is the difference between business class and first class. One is nice, the other is luxurious.

Can't believe they slapped on their cheesy dealer decal like it's a Chevy Impala.

Like we've agreed before, an S65, even with designo, is just a $90,000 car interior with some leather and alcantara covering the major bits. Nice, hell yeah. But the RR/Bentley is designed and built as a $200k+ vehicle. The details make the difference.

Meh, i see a lot of infiniti's and Nissans and stuff in the background on their lot. Probably just one of those little car lots that come and go.

I HATE dealer stickers. Unless they wanna pay me to advertise, then I want it off

Yeah. Again, it's insanely hot. But let's not get carried away, here. It's no Bentley Mulliner. And I understand personal preference and all. But that's like some people here "prefer" American cars.
