| Re: Big Sedan BATTLE! (BMW, Bentley, Benz...etc.) I have thought about this further, and since we're talking about the entire range of engines under a particular model I'd choose the following: 1. Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG - Nothing else with 4-doors touches this car for performance and luxury. It absolutely rules. 2. Audi S8 - It is so quaint, so designer and so sheek as I like to say. An exotic engine and killer looks. 3. Jaguar XJ8 Super V8 - Old worlde styling updated for 2008, which I like very much thank you. Or a XJR. 4. Lexus LS460L - The Japanese class spoiler, a no-worry luxury car that specializes in pampering and techno goodies. 5. Bentley Continental Flying Spur - I can't stand the looks of it, but in all honesty does it really matter while driving? Interior, interior and interior puts this car over the last place finisher in my book. 6. BMW 760LI - While it does look better than the Bentley it is still no beauty, and it doesn't have the interior of the Bentley (which it isn't supposed too), so it would be the last car I'd choose here.

| Re: Big Sedan BATTLE! (BMW, Bentley, Benz...etc.) I am really surpised Bentley doesn't have more votes. I heard several people talk about how the Bentley is a Notch above the rest, yet most of you think the Germans are better. Question: What do you feel that Bentley is lacking to make it such a low rate in this Poll? Design Technology Presence Features ???? Why in your words is Bentley not winning this poll? |

| Re: Big Sedan BATTLE! (BMW, Bentley, Benz...etc.) Why would price be an issue? Is it that you don't think it looks like it's worth that much? Considering this is simply a poll and not something we are all going to actually purchase, I don't see why price would be an issue as far as voting. Maybe I'm wrong????? Please explain what you mean. |

Design - looks like a stretched Conti GT Technology- As good as it is, doesn't touch MB, A8 or 7er and even lexus has more. Presence- This thing lacks the original presence of a Bentley. It has more presence than a Honda accord but it doesn't come close to the Germans or the Lexus. Features- Technology and features go hand in hand...while this offers excellent luxury it's still below the S-klasse. Doesn't have the same tech as the germans and the lexus so that means it lacks features. Just because it's a Bentley doesn't mean they can charge a premium for a car that doesn't bring anything new and is very unoriginal. ![]() | |
