I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

I've always been more of a Rolls-Royce guy. For a long time, the only difference between a Rolls and a Bentley was a slight difference in price and the fact that the Rolls had the nicer looking grill. Because of this, I could never understand why someone would want a Bentley. It seemed like "kissing your sister." Why spend $100,000 on a car with a cheaper grill when you can spend another $2,000 and have the ultimate? It just didn't make sense.
Of course, when you go all the way back to the roots of the two companies, you can see they have vastly different philosophies. The same thing shows through in the most current models. Total luxury with the Rolls-Royce, and luxury with spirited performance with the Bentley.
I guess I'm more of a purist, because if I had enough money to have exactly what I wanted, I'd buy a Rolls Royce for luxury and a Ferrari for sport. Bentleys are nice, but in my mind Ferrari is the ultimate sports car.
Bentley all the way: Style, class and performance, you can't go wrong with that package.
That depends on the epoch. The Silver Ghost was really an achievement. W.O. Bentleys are unsurpassable in the 20's. I do love very much the Derby Bentleys but Phantoms II and III are the best looking cars ever made. I wouldn't reject a Bentley continental of the 50's for all of the money. Instead I hate the current rolls royce's and mulsannes...
Bentley for me. They are totally inverted snobery. You know what you have and the rest of the world is not quite sure. The current RR is just plain ugley. They have lost it. Bentley still have style.
