In CA, seeing a Bentkey isnt even a big deal even more. I see on average 15-20 a day. I know 8 people personally that hav a fluying spur or continental GT. The masses flocked to get them in order to be able to buy an "exclusive" Bentley. A real Bentley to me is only an Arnage or Azure. One without thw W12 engine straight out of a Volkswagen. Its a totally played out car. Going home everday, people can see at least 2-3 Bentleys in the driveways. They are everywhere, and so common, that i dont even flinch when I see one, even though they run $150,000-200,000.

I'd take a new 750i over a Bentley any day. The Bentley looks like a big boat, I really don't know why everyone raves about them.

I see the conti GT and flying spur all over the place, at least a couple a day. Definitely not eye catchers anymore. I'd like to have one as a daily, the interiors are great. But don't expect anyone to even notice them anymore.

Last year I kept a count one day in Beverly Hills - 65 different Bentleys spotted in one afternoon.

When they first came out, I was pretty interested. But now they are too common for a six-figure car, especially in SoCal. I'd still take one over my 335i though.

Oh I agree about making a thread just for spotting one. But there are some acting like they're pieces of shit Junkers which so isn't the case. Of course if you live in a wealthy spot on one of the coasts you're gonna see a lot ofnice flashy cars like lambos etc.

Yeah, anyone who says that they're a POS is just being stupid, and trying to act like they know what they're talking about, or pretending to be über rich to the point of snobbery.

Notice how many people saying "oh, they're too common, I wouldn't own one" drive a friggin' 3 series BMW. Until the 1 series arrived, that was the entry level base, common BMW, built for badge whores on a budget. The Civic of the near luxury world. But a Bentley is "nothing special."
