I can see a bit of Jag and TVR British influence on the rear design.The interior is simply beautify but the front just looks to grand

I kinda like that. Except the LED headlights. The rear looks Audi-esque. It actually looks smart from the front/side view.

I think that's a fantastic looking thing, especially from the rear.

Dark Green with Cream leather please!

The rear reminds me of a 7-series.

Quite a handsome car I think.

Head on it looks very "Arnage'y".

I like it!

Look similar to the old one, but with a fat ass!

Saw the test car (in its camo) a couple of times, the overall shape didn't look that different to the previous car. It's nicer than the Mulsanne though.

IMO one of the many problems which has haunted the Flying Spud is its resemblance, particularly around the rear quarter area, to its cut price cousin, the Skoda Superb:

Skoda Superb



Bentley



The new model addresses this issue and looks more like a Bentley. I would still have a Ghost, though.

saw a black and white patterned one on the M6 Toll this morning, looked good.

It seemed to be travelling in a sedate manner even though it was going quite fast!

Cant be the same people that designed the front and back end of that car. The front is pretty god but the back end with the stupid rake of the bootlid and sharp creases at its side, also the rectangular rear lights with ovals lighting up dosnt look very good.

I'm certain that model of Superb came out after the Flying Spur.

Something about the rear quarter view just doesn't seem right. Why would someone have this over an Arnage or Mulsanne?

Then again, I'd rather have an early '90s Turbo R and save about 300%! hehe

Who is Shirley? SURELY her opinion isn't very important.

Of course. Hasn't everybody with a sense of humour? I just think the "Shirley" joke is past it's sell by date and wonder how many people think that's the correct way to spell surely.

I think its a mistake to not offer the V8 from launch. They obviosuly have a load of W12 units lying around that they want to shift first!
