I must be the only person who thinks the looks have gone backwards, distorted proportions, terrible rear lights, overly fussy design... sadly somethings just not right
You're not, I think it looks a bit odd now. The grill proportions aren't right and there is something just not quite "right" about the design overall.The word "elegant" appears very early in this piece, but it's not a word I would associate with Bentley to be honest.

Does anyone think they look remotely similar as cars?
I can't imagine anyone confusing the rear of the new CGT with a Mazda MX6!
Well no obviously these cars don't look remotely similar! The MX6 is sleek and clean, the GTC has a bulky, muscular shape. I like it though some of the details are overly fussy for me, but that's the way modern car design is rightly or wrongly. Anyhow, the original comment was that the oval shape rear light clusters are a kind of similar shape to those on the MX6...I can't imagine anyone confusing the rear of the new CGT with a Mazda MX6!

If you look closely, like on the Bentley, the wheels are also round!

That does look good, I imagine its absolutely huge though. Who drives these ? Genuine question by the way.
We had the previous Supersports with the W12 motor and carbon brakes. Nice car, amazing noise, especially when started inside the garage. Lovely way to travel and always got really good comments from passers-by, but somehow not particularly special to drive. Motormatt said:
I seem to be in the minority here but having seen the new car in the flesh a couple of times, I think it looks much better than the old car.
It has more sports car like proportions now, appearing lower, wider and more lithe whilst being unmistakably an Conti GT.
Agreed, I really like it having never lusted after any other recent BentleyIt has more sports car like proportions now, appearing lower, wider and more lithe whilst being unmistakably an Conti GT.
