Calling all "car" lovers, if you've seen the new Bentley GT 2011, you're no doubt excited about the changes they made. I'm happy to note that the front fascia is more upright like traditional Bentley's, but, much to my displeasure, the interior area near the arm rest hasn't changed at all. If you watched the Fifth Gear video review of the previous model, you'll see how it squeaks as your arm rest on the leather section. Then there is the backseats---if you can call them seats. Its no real purpose to them since even kids can't sit back there with any comfort.
I consider myself a Bentley "lover" on a buick budget. *insert laughter* Yes, its true. We all haven't hit the lotto or created the next world changing social networking site to bring in the cash to afford this beauty. The "news" about the impending release of this fresher model has fine young millionaires, getting their Amex cards all charged up and ready to purchase! Lets just hope the next purchase will be by yours truly. Knock on wood:)
My dream is for the designers at Bentley to listen to their owners and fans and bring back the muscular, alpha-male coupe of the mid nineties. Too many people that i've talked to have said this "car" looks too feminine for their liking.....and I tend to agree. Take a look at the Continental T from 1998 and you'll see what I mean. Its brauny with a very upright style to the grill and headlamp area. The current iteration of this vehicle looks more Ferrari than british luxury sport coupe and that's a shame. But what do I know? The sales volume for the previous model speaks for itself. They are selling like hotcakes and that trend isn't likely to diminish anytime soon.
