Okay it looks just like the last one but somehow it looks much cleaner and aerodynamic and I actually love it. This was one car that had to grow on me.

I like this 2nd gen from the start.

DO WANT!

Looks very good. I have always loved the Bentley Cont GT. Why change something much when the current one is still highly sought after and nicer then most of its competition. The only updates it really needed were the navigation and some of the dated electronics it had and they addressed that. The C GT has one of the nicest interior designs I have ever seen, the light maple wood trim is stunning. I was expected them to cut a nice amount from the current one but it does not appear they trimmed much weight which was one of its biggest complaints.

Yep, its a freakin looker, weird headlights and all! So surprised that this model was never offered with a sunroof option (at least the ones that I see around here daily). Cant wait to see it in different colors.

It starts at around US$189k. Its a US$7k increase, from last years model.

Its probably going to cost like C$207k for the 2011 in Canada.

I figure if you buy a Bentley you also have the convertible to drive when you want.

Though I agree where is the sunroof. Since its a heavy tank, might as well make it a full glass roof.

I have never seen the CGT with a sunroof. I guess those who can afford it are not complaining. Sunroof is a necessity for me.

I see plenty of CGT's but never checked. But I agree, sunroof is a necessity for me too.
