Yeah it is. I've resigned myself to Bentley's fate, though. I doubt there's any way they can improve on the Arnage. Evolving the design would be a mistake, replacing it might be worse.

But then again, look what Rolls-Royce did with the Phantom.

True...as long as they keep the bubble look out (flying spur / gt) then it should be an award winner.

Then again bubbles haven't always looked bad on Bentley....

Test mules have been roaming in closed testing grounds for quite sometime now. I read somewhere that Bentley will allow for a 12 months break between the final series and the new car. We'll see the car next year unless VAG bring the launch forward 12 months to sync with the anticipated recovery of the economy. Plus RR are on the move with the Ghost, so Bentley cannot allow RR to be on the playground all alone, especially when the Bentley CGT is old with its 6 years on the market.

VAG are just a bit slow when it comes to development. The R8 spider and new A8 are way over due.

Nope when the Arnage goes all of these Arnage-based variants go too.

Yes but the Brooklands coupe is very new compared to the Arnage! It can't go after 1-2 years on the market...
