Bentley Arnage T Vs. Bentley Flying Spur Vs. Maybach 57S

[SDNR]

The Flying Spur's interior is very high quality.

It's amazing Roberto this new Flying Brick of a vehicle is like so popular around here. The Bentley down the street from my job has like 8 of them out in front of the place. I mean he has them in stock like "regular" cars and what not, and guess what the ones he had last week appear to be gone because the group I saw tonight were different colors. I think this thing is a hit.

Oh I hadn't seen these.

Oh my don't you look good!


Looks like the speeding locomotive it is. No grace at all.


See above comment.


Way too much arse here!

I'm sorry but the FS has to have the oddest looking side profile I've ever seen for a car.

 

[SDNR]

Well you know the Flying Spur is not my favourite car of all time either, but it isn't quite as hideous as Merc1 says it is. I think with better rims and some detail changes, it could look a whole lot better. The small changes made to the MM57 for the MM57S version has restored my faith in the viability of Maybach as a brand, I'm sure they could improve the FS too.

I have to agree with Merc1..this thing is hideous..its such a bad looking car it makes me sick.. and the fact that it has the bentely name makes me even more sick.. how can this car be sold under the same roof as the Arnage..its not even worthy..its a damn VW.. and an ugly one to..

PS
VW has released only crappy looking bentelys imo.. the GT and the FS are no good imo..
But the Cab Azure.. damn that car is so nice.. so i still have some faith that they will do the next arnage right.. and i really hope so..

Exactly. The car isn't worth of the Bentley tradition. Rare that I have to disagree with my friend Roberto. This thing is worse looking than the Coupe version. The proportions and exterior detailing are just so locomotive like.

Its an obvious pattern. Mercedesfans hate VAG/Audi and Audifans hate Mercedes. BMW fans hate both Audi and MB.

Well that may be with others, but not me. I love Audis and up until now Bentleys. I still love the Arnage and the upcoming Azure, its only these "Continental" models I can't stand.

I think VAG has done a brilliant job overall with Bentley and Lamborghini, and they are the undisputed champ of interior design as a whole when you look at the all the brands they have, but these 2 new Bentleys just lack class and beauty compared to the Arnage, IMO.

I dont mean the fans hate every model the competitiors release. However my statement above is more or less correct.

Yup, I'm with you on that one. As opulent as the Continental and Flying Spur may be, they lack the overwhelming sense of excess and ostentatiousness of the Arnage somehow. Can't quite explain why either.

 

[SDNR]

Well I never said I liked the Flying Spur but I do think it could be vastly improved with a facelift - the rear is particularly bad IMO.

Well as long as you're not grouping me in there, then you're point may apply to others. Me, I like all German cars. BMW's shock-n-awe tactics with the 2002 7-Series have worn off with me and I'm really starting to like them a great deal again.

[SDNR]

I have to admit I am warming a little to the design of the Flying Spur. I'll never love it, but I don't hate it either. I would still prefer an Arnage or 57S but the FS is in a unique market segment all on it's own - for now anyway. The interior makes the MB W221's look very down-market IMO.

 

[Merc1]

Love the interior design and quality, but hate the exterior design completely. This only confirms my prior theory about the VW Empire making the best interiors in the business. VW and Audi were already tops in this area, now Bentley is in the fold.

The VW Empire is #1 for sure in interiors no argument from me there!

Roberto, a Bentley is supposed to make every other luxury car's interior look "downmarket" don't you think? Bentley do cost more. Their only real market competition is Rolls and Bach. The rest are "downmarket"...lol.
