Give it time, I'm sure it will grow on us.

Bear in mind that many people disliked the Rolls Royce Phantom when it was released. It grew on us bit by bit. It's far from perfect, but waaaay better than when it was first unveiled.

I will wait for the complete official pictures before passing judgement on the new Arnage. But those big round gooey eyes kind of remind me the old Subaru Impreza WRX a couple generations ago................they were not the most endearing.

The round headlights and the chrome mesh that runs along the bottom of the front bumper make the front of the car look like a kid with big glasses grinning with braces.

Only a little while longer to go until the official pics come out, I'll wait until then to draw any conclusions.

Interior looks quite interesting though - but still the exterior doesn't grow on me!

ree, I see by your avatar you still have some Bentley hope in your heart.

I still believe this car will be extraordinary. Can wait to see the official photos!

The door panel has an awful mass-produced-German-car appearance to it. Most prominent is the lack of character, finesse and bespoke detail. Here is a photo of a proper Bentley door:

When I saw the new Arnage interior spy pics my first thought was ... Audi.
