Well, at first I thought it was hideous. I then saw the first one in the metal, and from certain angles it's such a nie shape that I started to wonder if I actually liked it or not. I'd say "cool". It's a stretched Conti GT, which is a cool car afterall

I would also say that the Flying Spur is a cool car - mainly because it is a Bentley!

- It has a horrible name.

- The design is nothing special.

- In the end, it's a rebadged Phaeton.



Uncool.

Seriously uncool.

Take the sales of the VW Phaeton...they cancelled it in the US. It's a great car, but absolutely not cool. So you stick the (cool) Bentley badge on it and what do you get....

No, still an uncool car!

First of all, it looks crap. And it's deemed as as a new-money car for rappers, pimps, professional party-goers etc... The name is really cool, I'll give you that. But it's a fancy Phaeton as we all know, not that its customers will care, but still uncool. So, it's seriously uncool.

Uncool.
i agree with all of the above (except the name bit ) AND...

- It is set to become as common as an S-Class, not a good thing for Bentley IMO

- Bentley sell the Arnarge 8)

Uncool as uncool can be, but it is so luxorious, that it can't be seriously uncool
