That pretty much mirrors my expectations.

The Range Rover is a 'one call, does it all' car. Mine being a SC means it goes like hell too.

I can see Bentley ownership being at times a more painful experience simply because they need to be kept mint. As you say, no just throwing stuff in it and chucking it about.

I'm also concerned at being able to unload it if I have had enough. There are some cars in the market which have been so for an awfully long time!

Wow, well after a test drive in a new S63 AMG Cabriolet, I have totally thrown the Ghost idea out the window!

Absolutely stunned by the S class AMG, so far superior to any car I have ever driven. Just amazing interior quality, execution of technology, interior design, comfort, engine smoothness, etc. It really has got the 'x' factor which makes it seem like it's a car that belongs to someone far richer & more glamorous than me! It even has that expensive stench of leather you'd normally expect to be exclusive to likes of Rolls Royce. I have recently test driven a brand new £180k-£200k spec Bentley GTC and that was not a touch on the S Class, not in any way trying to say the GTC is bad, just trying to explain how good that new S63 Cabriolet is. A real gem of a car and very well priced given the quality & competition.

I am going to keep my Range Rover though as it is too good of a family car, especially with the baby, and will trade in my sports car and Evoque instead to get the S63 Cabriolet as soon as I can.

good choice - at least its not a german car pretending to be British . Only problem I would have with S class coupe/ cabrio is that it doesn't look as substantial as Cl models of past and looks very like C class coupe/ cabrio.
