A vast improvement on the previous model.

Yes indeed, and moving away from just being a 4-door ContiGT. Both of which are a good thing.

Seconded. A much better effort from the getgo!

Is there going to be a basic version, I mean new VW Phaeton?

[Andy ap]

I've no idea why but i really want one. Must be something to do with those truly impressive figures. Not sold on the rear light's bit bmw-ish for my liking but otherwise must be a superb 'wafter'.

[Gull Slayer]

There is a basic version as FarmerJIm pointed out its call the Skoda Superb!

[richb77]

Probably the nicest looking Bentley for a good number of years.

Although as a pauper (in Bentley terms) my opinion counts for naught

Well it should be, a big Bentley saloon car isn't meant to be small and cramped is it!

What an odd comment

Yes, I also heard that the interior is too comfortable...

616bhp, 0-60 in 4.3 and 200mph while surfing the net on wi-fi! Awesome!

I will take a blue one with less blingy grille thanks:

FINALLY a handsome Benters from Volkswagen! It only took them an entire decade!

I'll have mine in bright gloss red with gunmetal wheels & calipers over cream white hide with red diamond stitching, dash top & headliner, and piano white trim.

[aston addict]

saying that this is better looking than the previous version is like saying Thora Hird is sexier than Nora Batty...

Why anyone would chose this over a Ghost (or I guess used Phantom) escapes me. Unless of course they have way too much money over sense (which might well be the case...).

Saw two undisguised on trade plates running in tandem near Crewe today. One was in a pretty dodgy colour which looked like undercoat, and the rears seems to taper away to nothing but glaring red lights. A touch of CLS about the rear I thought. Very sleek though.

[bobberz]

Interesting that since yesterday, the looks have already begun to grow on me. I suspect it will actually look quite good in-the-metal, just as the Mercedes CLS looked awkward in the pictures, but looks far better on the road.

Must say, those specs are mighty impressive! Particularly the Cd, considering it looks so much boxier than the first gen.

Yum, a strawberries and cream theme, I like it! Who do you play for, out of interest?

[shakotan]

Didn't realise there was an embargo on the new Bentley, I've been staring at one sat opposite my office for the last fortnight, I'd have posted pics if I knew!

You only live once!

Perhaps a warm crushed grey over ocean blue monotone hide with turned aluminium trim would be a bit more tasteful?
