  | Re: Autobild: Bentley Continental Flying Spur vs MB S 600 This is no contest. Other than the more exclusive interior and prestige of the "Bentley" name, the Flying Brick has nothing on the Mercedes. It has more hp and more gears, yet gets smoked in every acceleration test. Autoweek is the only test you'll every find with a time that slow for a 0-60 run, so ignore it. It was an abnormality. The S-Class is the best luxury sedan in the world, period. M

| Re: Autobild: Bentley Continental Flying Spur vs MB S 600 The convertible Bentley might tempt me, the Continental GTC, but the sedan and the gawd awful coupe there is no way in hell. M

 | Re: Autobild: Bentley Continental Flying Spur vs MB S 600 I just don't find the Bentley Continental FS to be all that special in spite of their high price etc. -- there's just no X-factor with them -- I just can't see much point in buying a FS over an S class.

| Re: Autobild: Bentley Continental Flying Spur vs MB S 600 Interesting test. I don't find both cars particularly desirable.
