  | Re: Autozeitung test : Bentley Flying Spur Speed vs. Mercedes S65 AMG Both are tremendously wondeful beasts. Any wouldn't be the wrong choice. However at this price tag, I think the Bentley is more exclusive. The thing is that the S class is not so rare and thus the S65 looses few points here. I remember when Jeremy Clarkson testdrove the S65, then took a loudspeaker and put on and add saying "my engine is bigger than yours" - Not so many people know this is a special car. Here the Bentley wins. |

| Re: Autozeitung test : Bentley Flying Spur Speed vs. Mercedes S65 AMG I would take the AMG, for sure!  But i like the rear interior more at the bently than at the AMG, but berhaps because they didn't chose the 4-seat-alternative.This is great:  |

| Re: Autozeitung test : Bentley Flying Spur Speed vs. Mercedes S65 AMG Both cars need better interior colour and trim combinations. The grey leather just doesnt work with the wood. I still think MB should only offer dark wood or carbon fibre trim for their AMG cars. Out of the 2, I will pick the Merc. The Flying Spur probably feels more special but I can't take the odd proportions of the car.

| Re: Autozeitung test : Bentley Flying Spur Speed vs. Mercedes S65 AMG The diamond pattern stitching must be something new to the S65. It really adds a new level of sophistication, love it!! Give me the S65 of course.. the f/l is really going to be an improvement.

| Re: Autozeitung test : Bentley Flying Spur Speed vs. Mercedes S65 AMG I rather own the upcoming BMW 760i ......seriosly, even if I was ultrarich I would never buy a car like these. I'm not intrested to own such large cars. And I dont need the luxury, if I want something fast I drive something else.Not my cup of tea.

| Re: Autozeitung test : Bentley Flying Spur Speed vs. Mercedes S65 AMG If I had the money, I would wait for the baby Rolls - probably much better handling than both the S65 and the bentley. More exclusive and hope will be better looking. Also hope BMW will give it a monstrous engine   |
