Perhaps not, but, come on......you're not exactly a Cheapskate.


After two JGC's though, you could be called a Jeepskate.

Bentaygas are 2-3 times what my car cost...I just don't see the appeal, personally over something thats $150k...its a dramatic diminishing return

Toys4RJill

Other than a V12. I don’t see the appeal of the Bentley Bentayguia. There are so many other crossovers that look far more appealing

Striker223

Materials, the way it drives, the intricacy of the exterior etc etc....

Still in my case as much as I like it I would always go for a flying spur before one. The only 4 door I really have any desire for right now is a 2020+ Flying Spur Speed

Like what? The styling is weak IMO

Striker223

The headlights for example, they are cut crystal internally.

The style is elegant and not childish like something out of the domestic trucks so yeah it won't have the stupid oversized grill lol!

Toys4RJill

‘Ok

‘’but I mean…. This is pretty ugly styling IIMO



I know we disagree on this. But it does have a mechanical centre Torsen differential. I give it that







I think this is a much better looking vehicle

I absolutely love the way the Bentayga drives and would buy a 3-4 year old one if it didn’t look like ***. I can’t stand the exterior.

SW17LS

Flying Spur is a beautiful car, but even that you’re not getting a better drive than you’re getting in a flagship sedan like an S Class etc

Toys4RJill

‘What about the VW Toureg?

Striker223

Yes you are lol!

There is no comparison, I've driven the W222 in all guises and the W223 in V8/AMG trim and it's just totally outclassed. The flying spur is insane in that it has an entirely superior performance envelope on top of the best of the best interior etc

One of the main reasons I didn't go with a W222 was because of the way Mercedes doesn't drive like Audi/Bentley when you push it. Sure the S is smooth but I want both

Toys4RJill

I do give credit to Bentley. The flying spur and the Continental GT can hit 205 MPH in stock trim. So give it that

SW17LS

I’ve also driven a Flying Spur, and there are actually a few comparison reviews on YouTube that agree with me. Doug Demuro just posted one today, actually.

For the difference in cost they just don’t appeal to me. When you drive a Rolls Royce they feel just on another level from any other car, Bentleys just don’t do the same thing. Very nice obviously but over twice as expensive as a fully loaded German flagship car? I don’t see it.

Toys4RJill

Watching it now. Ugh.. no more W12’s

the green colour is weak IMO

SW17LS

Yeah not my favorite on the car
