Bentley A8

Ah, it's the same as an A8? Please point me in the direction of the Audi A8 which has the same interior, wheels, suspension, brakes and, heck, even something so meaningless as a 635bhp engine....the most powerful A8 you can get in petrol-guise is 340bhp.

Are you suggesting that there is no difference between this and an A8? I can't imagine you are, because that'd be incredibly stupid for anyone remotely into cars, right? Or for someone to get confused between "platform sharing" and "the same"....

Silly me! I forgot, the font of all knowledge, friend and confidante of car manufacturers the world over, resident A-lister of the motoring world launch parties.

He of the withering put-down, the expert of all matters car related, the ultimate arbiter of all motoring discussions, there can be none finer, no greater rapier-like wit and master of all he surveys than that uber-lord of things 4-wheeled.

Don't kid yourself sunshine - if you think that thing isn't chock-full of Audi componentry, you're even more stupid than your posts make evident.

Your post implied that you are saying they're basically identical, which they certainly are not. My posts may make me seem stupid according to you, but not as stupid as your comment "Bentley A8".

Being "chock-full" of Audi componentry isn't "the same as" though, is it.

Maybe we could settle on: 'the best of the Audi A8 (which is certainly a good car) made better by Bentley'?

Edit: And if you offered me a choice between this Bentley, an Audi, Mercedes Benz, BMW, Lexus or any other equivalent, there'd be no contest for me!

My post said Bentley A8, which is open to as many different interpretations as it could be. It implies a link, nothing more.

You INFERRED it meant identical, probably because you are stupid, then started on your usual self-righteous drivel.

Don't dish it out if you can't take it sunshine.

Well, why bother calling it a Bentley A8 in the first place?

I'm not the only one who inferred that, so clearly your comment was too ambiguous. And you can keep calling me sunshine all you like, at least it's not too offensive instead of stupid though, you could use the prefix Dr, which I've earned

[swisstoni]

Considering these are the people who brought us the Bentayga, this is very welcome.

Doctor? What of? Rank Idiocy?

[anonymous-user]

It has a few hints of the newer shape Chrysler 300c which is hugely ironic considering the old 300 - which looked nothing like a Bentley - was frequently badged-up to buggery with Bentley motifs. How odd.

I think you need to remember to take your diazepam before coming on this thread

If you think someone is an absolute idiot for inferring your "Bentley A8" post suggests you think that this new Flying Spur is basically an A8 then you must think the whole world is full of idiots, aside yourself, of course.

Jeez - is that the best you can do? You really are a fking retard.

[Burwood]

I think he’s been quite codial, in spite of your overt rudeness. Let’s not ruin a thread, again ffs.

[LarsG]

That oversized grill reminds me of Mr Ed's teeth.

If I can't have a mature debate with you without you throwing childish insults around I'm going to assume you can't deny that what I (and others) thought about your "Bentley A8" comment was a sensible inference.

[Jonny_]

I quite like the overall shape. Not so much the grille or headlights, but it's far more attractive than, for example, a new 7 Series.

Interior and mechanical spec look superb. The middle seat in the photos doesn't seem quite right but given that it's about £170k beyond my budget, it's not going to be an issue!



By the way...

C'mon chap. You're not coming out of this remotely well. Time to bow out.

That would be you at this point... Like the poster above said, you're not looking too good at present.
