Definitely agree with you.

What is this going to compete with? Quattroporte? no...the Maserati is cheaper....I think this might go against the high end Merc S AMG class...either the 55 or 65 version...

IMO this car isn't that great at all, I never liked the GT and I don't like this 4 door version either...I think an old Arnage(not the one with the new round headlights) is a better buy than this, yes a bit more expensive, but well it's worth it...

Never been a fan of Bentleys (except the racing cars from the twenties) and this is not the car that will change my opinion. Despite its awful gearbox I'll take a Quattroporte over this in a second. Unlike dani I fail to spot any similarity between the two.

IMO This new Bentley is less ugly than the Arnage, the Rolls Royce Phantom and Maybach, but in the end it just looks like a stretched Continental GT. I understand Bentley is trying to fit its new design language to all models, but some differences to the front and rear would do the cars good. The public needs to able to tell them apart by looking at them straight from the front and the rear as well.

Very good, but I disagree with one of the posts... it is not even close to the presence the RR Phantom has. In fact, the Quattroporte is still better looking.

This one would come a close third... would've been higher if the rear end was a bit more distinctive... it's too "Continental GT with doors for the mates."

mmm i think this has better look than quattroporte, the quattroporte is ugly, but im with sir_gt, the RR Phantom is much better in all things

Nice hi rez pics.

I think it only makes sense for Bentley to push for this car, as the C GT has been so successful. Looks? Um, good. Stretched C GT, yes, but still pretty elegant. That's only if you can get that "Rover" image out of your mind.

Very nice. . . the front end works better for 2 door, but it works here as well.

Yeah, the name is pretty awesome too . "Flying Spur"

understated ugliness, can't they come up with something original for 200.000, the coupe looks good, but this is awkward ... it's not in my price range anyway, so it is all good

The front looks too similar to the GT IMO, but the rest is really nice.
