The front of the Bently coupe kinda looks a lil like the next gen. GS. Can someone post a side by side pic?

Seriously not hating here... That Bently is a fine automobile, but cosmetically (and probably the practicalness), the GS does alot more for me. Wheels on the Bently arent really my style, and needs a drop, but still a damn fine car.

You miss out something there, bro. The dude with the Bentley probably has at least a million bucks or more for "spending cash". Trust me, at his level, he is not thinking about buying/owning a GS and keep the $100k for spending cash.

Someone VERy wealthy once told me before that you can only spend NO MORE than 5% of your net worth to buy anything you want (the no-holds-barred kinda spending). So, if the dude really can afford that Bentley, believe me, $100k of spending money is chump change for him.

The Bentley's specs. sounds awesome, but I still think the GS looks better
I still prefer the looks of the previous Continental R coupes.

in that case ive got about 50 cents to spend today...lol

those bentleys are everywhere down here and they are definintely an eye-catcher...of all the high-ends i prefer ferrari or aston martin...but heck when ur on that status u drive the car for 6 months and go get the next toy...

one thing i cant stand though is we have alot of trust-fund babies down here that have serious amounts of "old" money and they have no idea what its like to really work and take pride in their car like i take in my bubble... ~beau

I also prefer the gs. Your friend should throw some of his fat stack on suspension. Too much gap to the 22's. Some aero and drop would help the looks.

Looks downright lame without a drop.

I laugh at all the "ballers" who throw rims on and think their car is the hotness.

It is a sweet ride once it is down a couple.

Calm down turbo I just stated my opinion, check out the reviews and the sales of that bentley compared to other vehicles in its class, its not doing so hot. I dont know about "hateration (not a real word)" I just dont like the styling ques (or the wheels) it has nothing to do with "hating" or being jealous. By the way if he did post on clublexus.com bashing my vehicle, its fine by me thats his opinion and he can state it if he wishes. To each his own.

Default gs

your friend is doing it big with the bentley but i gotta admit your car looks just as good ( if not better ) but im pretty sure ( i hate to say this) if we all were multi millionaires u think we would drive GS's? serious we would buy cars that accommodated our bank accounts
