Front is ugly, the headlamp and indicator arrangement looks very aftermarket. Looks like someone made it up in their garage.

PMSL. What next, why buy new Calvin Klein underwear when you can have used Adsa George underwear from Oxfam.

Absolutely nothing new at all, innovative or original in the whole thing. Just a big car with more wood and leather as per the last half century. To the life of me I don't understand how every single person isn't howling at the ridiculous hideousness of those New Beetle headlamps VW Group slaps on everything. This is VW Group bean counters just looking at what's in the market and then 'making one of those to compete and get a share of what they're doing'.

Except this time the blatant copying of the distinguishing details even up to the colour scheme of the Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé from over 7 years ago is so insane that I don't see how anyone can respect them ever again.

Absolutely tasteless, vulgar crap from Bentley again, but this time they hit a new low previously unseen this side of China.

think he read it as E300?

To be honest a Hotel de Paris doorman might actually be more likely to not spit on you driving an E300 rather than an E30...
There was no Mercedes E300 cabrio. 300CE-24 and 320CE before the facelift, yes, E320 after the facelift, yes. E300 cabrio, no. The only W124 badged as E300 was a diesel, which was not available as a convertible. There is a 2015 E300 convertible for certain markets.
