Re: Top Gear - Bentley Flying Spur.
But can I replace that cheap plastic grill with one off a Chrysler 300?

Re: Top Gear - Bentley Flying Spur.
Impressive for sure, but as noted in the video it isn't pretty. I just can't stand the way this car looks.

"fastest saloon in the market"


I don't like the fact that it shares the chassis with a VW.


Where is the uniqueness of the car. RR is not based on any chassis!

I like it though and have seen it around town. I am not sure if it is out yet? That is why I haven't taken pics.

There is nothing cheap about the grille and it's certainly not made of plastic.

Re: Top Gear - Bentley Flying Spur.
Holy moly! That thing moves!!!

As much as I think the Flying Spur is a good car, I'd still purchase the Arnage.

It may not be fun to drive as the Flying Spur, but still, Bentleys are meant for the back passenger enjoy the trip in a very fast way.

The old bruiser is the real deal and not a glorified Volkswagen Phaeton.

Nothing against the Phaeton. If I'm buying a Bentley, I want it to be something special.

BTW: The Flying Spur looks like a HUGE Rover 75. It's looks like a Continental GT with a very long rear end. It looks like it was improvised at the last minute.

Arnage all the way!

Re: Top Gear - Bentley Flying Spur.
I never understood why the new Bentley skin hasn't been unanimously embraced by fans and the motoring press. By all measures, the car looks fantastic, embodying all the tricks in the 'modern classic' book without looking derivitive.

I've seen a few of these on the road now, and like the GT, they look damn sharp.
