 | Is it just me or does it look way too friendly? To me it has the facial expression of a puppy which loves to play with the pink bouncy ball.  Besides it's well done: Nice and elegant rear, smooth and solid sideview. |

 | Ugh, what big and ugly car this is. Sorry but I dont feel for Bentleys, not my taste. The RR Ghost over this creep anyday of the week. RR Ghost is the best looking car in the segment, even the Phantom is behind the RR Ghost. Bentley, go back to the drawing board please.

| It's way too busy design for a grand Bentley. The Arnage was a fantastic car, because it looked so beautiful and classy and that with only a few lines and curves on its body. Now this is a mess. Sorry, but right now, from these pics, I don't like it...

| Magnificent. What turned out to be a worrying aspect of the car, the front end, has an happy ending. The head lights are marvellous and give the car the presence to stand up against the phantom and word cannot describe how perfect the profile is. This is exactly the car I wanted the Arnage successor to be, a blown up Arnage with some soft contours to step away from mark the ending of an era, while staying true to Bentley heritage. If there is anything negative to remark on then it must be the rear-end, bumper especially, which I find a bit too soft and continental GT-ish. Except for the I cannot wait to see the car in plethora or dark shades Bentley offer. I'm not blown away but I'm very content in wait for the interior which will make or break the car. |

| Simply WOW. Much better than I anticipated, worthy successor to the Arnage. I have no doubt the interior will be equally up to par. I was surprised when BMW bought RR instead of Bentley, as Bentley has always been seen as the sportier of the two, the more to be driven rather than be driven in of the two brands. That sentiment is definitely conveyed in the design of this car. Absolutely stunning so far..........
