I don't know, the lines in the rear might be too sharp. I like it though.

For the size of that car I think the lines are quite nice, and that's why I am thinking one will look very nice in my garage!

Come on now! It's a stunner.

Say weren't you going to do a large vinyl Cavallino for me some time ago? I think I forgot all about that!

Can you still do?

While I have not driven the spur I would imagine that it is a great car. The more recent changes to the GT coupe have transformed the car. I drove a 06 and, while a nice car, not something I would own. The steering lacked feel and the car felt cumbersome.

In comparison the 08 GT Speed seems to be a totally different car. It takes everything that was good about the GT and totally changed things not so good to better match the other aspects. Simply brilliant IMHO.

The changes to suspension arms, less sticky shocks along with less un-sprung weight, thanks to Carbon breaks and lighter wheels allows this car to ride better with increased body control. I find the feel and feedback of the steering stunning, considering the weight of the car along with the size of the front tires. I would imagine that the Spur Speed will also of benefited from these changes.

Thats the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Thats like saying "i dont like a alarm sound for a smoke detector". Aside from the Speed 8's thats what bentley made for 40+ years until the s3 drophead coupe. And 4 doors for a bentley is what put bentley on the map as bentley, so dont say you dont like 4 doors for a bentley when you most likely dont even know where they are made your ignorance is not welcome and BTW nice Bebe gun in your picture buddy.

That Flying Spur speed is ugly. I don't even know why Bentley made the Flying Spur I would take an Arnage R any day over the flying spur.
