Sleepless nights over a car decision? Fair enough they are worth more than the cars I buy but christ.

Its a lot of money and I have to live with the choice, so yes, lots of thinking on it. Have always got my knickers in a twist over car purchases though

Maserati Grantourismo? It's a proper four seater with a decent boot. Looks better than the Bentley too.

Light compared with the Bentley, although it's John Goodman to the Bentley's John Candy. Maser is merely brisk.

Range Rover, then buy a cheap weekend toy to get that feeling of driving back. Not a fan of the Bentley at all.

Can't you just get the bentley as it's clearly what you want and then buy a much cheaper range rover for when you need the extra space? I think it's better to do that than buy an expensive range rover and then buy a much cheaper conti for when the mood takes you.

Every time I see a Bentley like that, I instantly think "wker", usually associated with going to the gym, tight t-shirts, shades and fake tan.

Every time I see a range rover like that, I at least think there's a good chance of it being a doctor or solicitor. Someone with sound mind to have something nice, but also practical.

Either car would be lovely, but in a smart colour with subtle wheels and clear glass.
(If that option is available!).

You won't regret following your heart but you will wish you hadn't followed your head.

That makes sense to me at least

[stephen300o]

I vote neither too.

Nice dilemma to have! Sir, I doff my cap to you and wish you luck with your decision. I wouldn't think you'd be disappointed with either [memo to self: work harder]. Until some green-eyed, small minded f%^$tard gobs on it or keys it.

You should go for the range rover. Atleast then you won't be confused about W's and V's.

Sir i get this!

Well played.


I honestly cannot understand how out of all the vehicles available you end up with a choice of a Range Rover or a Continental GT.

Too slow and basic.

It is an itch I want to scratch, have an old 07 Range at present..

Time for a change? Why not follow your heart and get the Bentley (you can always go back to the RR if the novelty wears off.)

Any wife/partner, etc having to drive and live with the cars on a regular basis - what do they think?

For the same reason that most people would be clueless as to how you came to choose a Volkswagen Corrado out of the many many more choices you have in this price bracket and type of car

Wife thinks RR but loves the Bentley, her argument is strong in that we already have the XKR which is her daily driver and I have a play thing track Porsche. My son has said he is leaving home if I get the RR as he wants me to get back to, and I quote "proper cars". Daughter thinks the RR as she loves them, so in short no fooking help at all as all different opinions

If I was going to do that I would get the 599 and just keep the current range rover, this was the original plan, running costs and drive space are the issues there, as a family we are already sitting with 5 cars and have no space for another and two sets of servicing and maintenance on these type of cars is getting to silly money that I just can't justify, even with man maths.

Thats the way I am thinking.

[TREMAiNE]

Heart. Always.

In XX years time, do you want to be on your death bed saying "I wish I went for that GT" or "I should have played it safe with the RR"?
