Bentley Continental Flying Spur @ LA Auto show
This is the newly released 4 door version of the successful Bentley GT Coupe. It is powered by the same 552 hp w12 complete with 4wd and lots of luxury. Bentley is certainly making some fast and good looking cars these days.
Second, while the Flying Spur is a good looking machine in its own right, it carries too many features over from the failed Volkswagen Phaeton. The interior is almost identical in design to the Phaeton's and the body is based on the big VW.
So, this begs the question - if Bentleys were once nothing more than repackaged Rolls-Royces, would it not be better than being nothing more than repackaged VWs?

First, nice blog.

The Arnage is the finer car.

Rolls Royce is now a repackaged BMW 760li......
Bite your tongue Rob!! But seriously, other than a vaguely similar iDrive and engine management controls, I think the Rolls is still a Rolls.
I'd probably prefer the 760 GDP.
