Both cars seem to be based on the same design. The 4.4. green label engine and the 3.0 V6 of the 75 are not too far apart. The 75 is most likely to return better MPG. So, what would be the better car?

Yes, a terrific comparison. Most people don't understand that in reality they are virtually the same car.

Far more sensible to go for the Rover, better quality interior by far, and you can pretend you're driving a Bentley.

I've often had similar thoughts about the 827 coupe vs. conti gt.

Pretty much the same car, so i've heard.

I don't know what the fuss about Bentley is, all they've done is change the grille on a Chrysler 300 and bumped the price up.

IIRC both cars were based on the Montego so I'd go for the original if I could find a decent one

I believe the Arnage is just a tarted-up Rover 75, and they rip of the common man as usual.
