How much would it cost ?? Not that im gonna buy one obviously. hehehe.. but interesting to see where it stands compared to the Quatroporte, the Vanquish and the Rolls Phantom.

I love it.....beats Rolls hands down. But of course, Bentley is always the sportier of the two, so I don't blame Rolls for having a blockish exterior.

Dooooodeee... are u serious... u reckon it beats the Rolls hands down.. no way mate..!! THe new rolls is absolutely magnificent...!!! its soooo much better than the Bentley, or the Maybach .!!
Am i amongst a majority here or what ??

I dont know why everyones complaining it looks like the GT, its SUPPOSED to look like the GT... it's just a 4 door version....

IMO, for the money, nothing touches it...

No point comparing it to the Rolls or Mayback, they're 3 times the price of this beauty

no kidding - rare find.

as for competition? i'd say this gets some points for just being a bentley. i'd prolly take the Maser ahead of this, but both make the ultra luxes (rolls, maybach) look gaudily ornate (which is part of their purpose, i know)

mmm i think this has better look than quattroporte, the quattroporte is ugly, but im with sir_gt, the RR Phantom is much better in all things
It's always nice to find somebody that agrees with you, but I do have to ask (no offense intended), have you actually seen the Quattroporte in the metal?

Because if you've only seen it in pictures, then I can understand why you think it looks ugly, because that's what I used to think as well, until I actually saw one on the road a few months back, then another one at the show room. Believe me mate, The Maser is one of those cars in which pictures cannot do it any justice. It is trully gorgeous from end to end. Period.

cause there are too many people out there with too much bloody money ... that is probably why ... i also like quattroporte better, but in the end i would probably go with an xjr or if it needed to be a bentley, then a used bentley arnage r (2002 or 2003, not 2004)
