They finally renovated this car into a modern car. The interior and transmission are just top notch.
Thoughts?

I'd stick with the 4-door version and save about $70K, 1000lbs and still maintain the luxury with even better performance. :cool:

Not in the same class. The Panamera is not as luxurious as the Bentley GT but it performs better.
 
Was coming back from Portugal a couple months ago and picked up an issue of British GQ in the airport where they gave a sneak peak of this and fell in love since then...wonder if the flying spur will get some improvements as well?

You know, I was just checking out a used 2010 Continental GT at car lot in Dallas recently. What a noticed because of the age of the car. The infotainment was VAG stock for that time period(VW). So was the gauge cluster and most of the buttons. The new one is no different. It's using similar infotainment as the Panamera and A7. What I'm getting at is the most luxurious part of the car that stood out was the leather touch surfaces. Yeah it was soft touch and the gazillion stitches were nice, but not nice enough for me to go yeah, I'd pay $100K more for it. Once you option up a Panamera, you can get alcantara and soft leather everywhere. I get it Bentley's got way more customization possibilities for their interior with color choices and such, but the basic feel and touch (which I attribute more to luxury) was not much different that what I've seen in optioned up Panameras or cars like an A8. Just my opinion.

What were you doing in Portugal and yes, the Flying Spur will get the same improvements as the Continental. When are you picking your's up?

Those CPO units are inexpensive now but I'd wait for the M550 to get sown to $48k CPO in a year and a half.
