Almost a new car?..bro what are u talking about? still the ugly frog to me.
Voted for Benz of course,the CL now looks more modern and aggressive as ever and the CL65 over GT speed/supersports anyday.

With the Bentley, there are some obvious changes. Even so you really have to pay attention to all the changes. The CL changes are pretty much in your face. The new grill, LEDs and modified headlights are truly IN YOUR FACE.
Both have had an extraordinary makeover. Only thing is, with a makeover you want to see a big change that is instantly recognized and that would be the Benz CL in this case.
Bentley still did one hell of a job.

Well..not in the way it looks..
but they have reworked the sheet metall, new creases, new production techniques.. its a deeper FL.. so as far as the FL goes,bentley gets my vote cuase they have done a huge effort..
With the MB you cant take a pre FL..buy the after FL parts and it will look exactly the same, you cant even do that with the bentley..the parts wouldnt even fit..
But when it all balls down,and i have to pay for the bentley..i rather have a CL..and some cash over
no doubt

Well not if it's a CL65,it's even more expensive than the Bentley.

I'd have to go with the CL on the account that Bentley wants us to believe that the updated CGT is a BRAND new car. Don't look like it to me, so it's the CL for me.
Bentley's falsely advertising that this is a brand new car indeed (almost positive of that). And the CL was a much nicer car to start with.
But, at least from the pictures, as far as "Makeovers" go, I Vote the GT all the way. The CL looks better, maybe (dunno yet, haven't seen it in person), but the GT looks WAY better, I actually love it via those pics, and that's saying a lot about the level of subtle, yet effective, evolvement/improvement.
The CL's changes are all in the front, they made it look very similar to the other Sport front ended Benzes (not a bad thing, as it's a good look indeed, yet maybe a bit interchangeable), however, now the car is slightly mismatched from the doors back.

Haven't seen that new continental yet, but now when i have I can say that I liked the old one much more, the new one looks too much like the Mulsanne which I don't like either. I also like the old CL better but the new CL is still better looking than the new Bentley, MB gets my vote.

THIS WAS MY PERSONAL MOST DIFFICULT POLE YET! 
Geez...love that Benz! The CL is and always will be Daimler's jewel in their crown. Not even the SLS has the same cred. RESPECT!
BUT I voted for the Bentley, the car appeals to me in more ways than one...stunning piece of engineering with the best GT credibility this side of the price bracket in other words

I voted for the Bentley here: they went from a car I disliked and ended up with one that I (in pics at least) find very appealing! That is one hell of a 180°, and one hell of a FL!!!
While the Benz, well... they went from a car I love and ended up with a car I love... No big change here, and while I like the changes I feel most are unnecessary and don't really add anything to the car.
So, while I would choose the Merc for my car, I admit Bentley did a noticeably better job with the facelifting.
