RE: Driven: Bentley Continental GTC Speed ISR

[mike-r]

Absolutely grotesque. I might've considered a Conti GT when they first came out (if I had the money, of course), but all these BS models have really hurt the brand I feel. I'd still have an old Turbo R, though.

Take the stickers off and it's a great way to carry your gout around!

I'll agree with that.

And I thought the standard Conti GT was vulgar...

Just how many extremely wealthy chavs are there?

That's terrible. Stickers on a Bentley! What's the world coming to.

[badlands1]

No stickers I agree, but I luv that car.

[Daily Mail]They're all incredibly wealthy because the benefits system pays them up to £150k a year, the scroungers.[/Daily Mail]

I like the Conti..this though is just way too OTT (footballers knock yerself out)!

[FarmerJim]

What have Bentley come to? Such as shame.

You do actually get a Breitling thrown in with the price! Makes the car a bargain.... surely? lol

Thank fk cars like this still exist.

Anyone rating this lower than an 8 needs their diesel stwagon sticking up their ass- sideways.

It may be mental and f-ing quick, but theres no escaping the fact it looks st.

Great machine, better as a coupe. Sell it when the Rooneys get one!

Why is this car seen by so many as distasteful?

Why is the thrust of the entire article on the perceived brashness of the car?

If this was a test of, say, a Ferrari 458 or an Aston Martin DBS then no mention is ever made of the vulgarity of the car.

When PH get to test the new Ferrari 458 Spider, will the write up focus on the brash excessiveness of the car? I bet not.

This is poor, lazy writing that is simply spinning off a boring stereotype.

0-60 in 4.0 secs for a 2.5 tonne car is impressive!

Those stickers look daft. Perhaps on a 911 GT3, but on a Bentley, no way!
