[SIZE="1"]It has lost it's "Continental" name, so I thought a new thread was needed. :) [/SIZE]

Bentley Flying Spur #2

For now ;)

From the A-pillar back looks excellent. But I'm not sure the Continental's styling cues in the front mate too well with the rest of car.

A shame.

I guess will have to continue saving up for a Mulsanne.

Or something.

Generally an attractive car...but lacks a little of Bentley's usual brutal substance and frankly looks just a little too svelte and blah for a Bentley. The side profile looks like an Audi. Don't get me wrong - I like the shape - it's just doesn't suit a Bentley. I am glad they kept Bentley's usual front fascia theme, though, and the largish sail panel and sculped little quarter panel "muscle bulge" are the high points.

That's funny, I think the front fits nicely with the rest of the car, but I'm not sure about the back. Those rear lights seem a bit out of place. :confused:

It's predecessor was as blend as it could be, this looks to me like a major improvement.
But off course the Mulsanne beats this by miles. :)

I agree...depending on which Mulsanne :) the Azure is my quinessential Bentley

It is distinctive.

At least it doesn't look like a massively expensive Avensis anymore.

Brooklands.
