Very conflicted and having sleepless nights, trying to decide between two very different cars, the new Range Rover SDV8 or Bentley GT speed 6. Have found the two cars but just can't make up my mind which to go for. My head says Range Rover, very practical, very comfortable, ticks all the boxes and a surprisingly good drive. Great for lugging the family around in, runs to the dump, trips away with the lads to Golf, luggage to and from the airport etc etc etc.
The heart says Bentley though, pure power, over two tons of V12 and 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and an interior that looks like my lounge, some practical aspects, it has a massive boot, not great for anything other than short runs for passengers though and fuel consumption is verging on comical, about 10mpg around town, this though does not bother me to much.
So help, do I go head or heart on the below cars

Panamera GTS was on the short list, great car, great engine, practical, well, more so than the bentley, just can't get with the looks though. Also tired of big German barges, had the 5 in Alpina, had the merc in CL amg loved them but at the time don't want to go back there
What was it about the big barges that you didn't like? The handling's going to be a hell of a lot more big, lazy and fat in a Range Rover than in a CL AMG!Chim said:

If the bentley isn't a "big german barge" then really I don't know what is...LordGrover said:
Your garage shows landies but no Bentley. An itch to scratch - get one. At least you'll then know.
It is an itch I want to scratch, have an old 07 Range at present, I do love it, so damn practical for everything, just want a bit of power and passion driving again. Was going to keep the Range Rover and get a 599, cost of keeping both though would have been very silly so discounted that nowJeez, I was loosing sleep over employment...I hope i get to a stage in life when I can loose sleep over which new vehicle to buy
Anyway, I'm kidding, don't mind me!
I guess with the range rover you can green-lane...but then, a rally driver didnt do to bad in a bentley so that point is disproven...
I would buy neither, instead go for an M5 or something
