New Bentley

---

[dans]

Ummm

Looks very bentley inside and great from the front, but they appear to have popped round to stablemates Skoda for advice and a cup of tea before doing the rear which is like a corpulent Octavia.

I like it, but think it'll look much better in the flesh. Funny how certain cars don't photograph that well. I was unsure about Merc's new SL until I saw one on Friday.....lurvely!

[Roadrunner]

Front square on looks good. Rear 3/4 view looks like a bland Passat. Interior looks very tacky, like an old codger's study, which is at odds with the contemporay exterior. Aston managed to update their image towards younger buyers more effectively with the Vanquish.
