harmonda Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Bentley's are pure class. Somehow they are high-performing and luxurious while being tastefully understated when compared to their competition. I think they get it just right. They make all other super-lux cars seem so 'Jersey Shore'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTHER91 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hell no,you won't.... I think Aston makes hands down, the sexiest cars ever made. They know what cars are supposed to look like. i agree 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 damn that's sexy. i've never been in a continental GT, but i did look at used ones a while ago online, and actually entertained the idea of a used one. closest place to me for service on a bentley would likely be chicago--over 2 hours away, not sure i could do that. hell, even BMW/benz dealerships are about 45min away from me.

Got-Boost? Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I feel like, here in Houston anyways, I see them more than any other "supercar" or "super expensive car". I kid you not, I've seen three in a grocery store parking lot at the same time. Of course, their cooler than anything I've ever owned. Same here they are everywhere down here..... Personally, I think they are nice and it would be a fun DD but in reality they aren't worth the money IMO. They are heavy, slow considering the cost, and are a horrible value (nothing like driving off the lot and dropping over $100K in value). My wifes co-worker has had his 2010 GTS for several months and loves it though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6 Speed S4 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I love the Bentley! I remember my first day working at MAG my boss rolls in with the Continental GT and told me to put some air in the tires and drive it around the block to get the indicator off. My eyes lit up! It was a very fun car to drive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I love those rims! 0-60 in sub 5 seconds in that huge thing!!! wow. Amazing car I just watched a review of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 The reason I started this thread was because I wanted to see if anyone had a "fanboy" level of interest in the new Continentals; I received an invitation for two to go to the 2012 model introduction at Eddie Merlot's last night. There was a delicious buffet and open bar, lots of wine and champagne .... you get the picture. I didn't think it would be such a good idea to directly ask if anyone wanted to go to free eats and drinks at Merlot's, because, well, it would be tempting for people to post that they wanted to go even if they didn't care much about the car. And I only had one invitation to extend. I figured I'd just test the waters for interest, and then extend the invitation one-at-a-time until someone could commit to going. As it ended up, lots of people had interest but had schedule conflicts. But my standby co-pilot, Farkas, was free and was interested, so he and I attended. They had two pre-production CGT's on display. Of course, I forgot my camera, but Farkas got some cell phone photos he'll prolly post later to this thread. The cars are headed to Dubai. What we didn't know in advance was that test drive invitations for today (Saturday) were given at the reception, so of course Farkas and I signed up. Unfortunately, the scallop hors d'oeuvres got the best of Andy and he had to bail out on the test drives. Because things were so last minute, everyone I contacted about test driving/test riding couldn't make it. Sorry. But I did end up getting some swag for a couple of you guys. However, I went today to MAG and got some photos and also took the Sand-colored one on some spirited driving to New California, then back on secondary twisties. The one I drove: http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/PICT0041-1.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/PICT0030-2.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/PICT0034.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/PICT0031.jpg The other car (which I think looked sharper): http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/PICT0038-1.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/PICT0039-1.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/PICT0037.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/PICT0040.jpg By the time this thread is up, the cars have been loaded onto enclosed transport and are on their way to their next party.

Doc1647545523 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) They've added some useful features to the new CGT--details such as small LED markers in the mirrors which alert the driver that the turn signal is flashing, more levers and buttons for common seat movements (such as leaning the front seats forward for back seat passengers to load), and so forth. The new generation of Audi electronics are a big upgrade. When you shift to reverse, the rear camera comes on screen and there are 3-D effect orange dotted lines which project your path across the screen display. As you turn the steering wheel (this is with the car moving or still), the projected path adjusts accordingly. Very fun to play with and actually practical in some backing situations. In fact all of the displays use the 3-D Audi effects, which are very sharp, clear and kewl. The number of dials and buttons has been reduced and the main center screen is a touch screen. The car has a little more grunt than the previous models, and the steering has a slightly lighter feel. The old 50:50 power split has been revised to 40% front and 60% rear. This is still a big car to take through the fairly mild twisties I drove today. Overall, I am impressed with the improvements Bentley has made. This is a really great car. However, I am quite content with my Flying Spur. I think if I traded, I'd really miss the extra room and better ride of the Spur.

Fiji ST Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 The answer's right there, plus I'd have to come up with six figures plus my car. Must have glanced over that last bit. I do have to say, it is a much better looking car than the old one, with a sleeker and more aggressive look. Compared to the new one, the old coupe looks a bit bloated. And I don't think pictures do the new car justice either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
