Got to take a spin in a Bentley GT Coupe
 
Nice car. This one will be worth considering when I make my next purchase. Maybe I can persuade the wife in letting me trade the 04 996 NA for it one day. The down side is that it looks like a Crossfire from the back. The front and side, though, is all Bentley.

What was the dealer's asking price? im interested but I think I'll wait for the convertible, I recently paid a visit to a local dealer and after seeing it in person I wait listed immediately (the coupe not conv.) I would say the rear is a mix between the 6-series BMW and a crossfire

Sorry, but it is overweight and FUGLY!

SteveH 06-03-2004 10:28 AM

i test drove one too. thought it was pretty ugly and felt really big. It's super quiet inside and the driver is totally disconnected from the road. seemed like a car that does everything decently and nothing well.

Friend's car. I didn't ask the price because he didn't offer the price. He also don't ask what I pay for mine and etc.

This car is very sweet and drives like a Bentley, but has got serious balls. Screw things like dime a dozen M5s and AMGs, this thing is very cool and certainly something you won't see coming or going. I have driven 55s at work and a 645 (blah), and this thing is in a different league as a total package.

His car was black and it sat much lower than the car above. Maybe he had a wheel option or a suspnesion option. Really didn't get to much into it.

You gotta drive on of these to truly apreciate it. Its kind of like the Cayenne. People think they suck until they plop down into the drivers seat and then most are hooked.

You feel like a king in this thing with plenty of performance vailable at the pedal.

Oh yeah, it looks MUCH better in person. Those pictures above don't begin to do justic of the car compared to what it looks like in person and the interior is sweet.

I'm scheduled to test drive one next week (Tuesday)-looking forward to it. I love the looks, but to each his own. The ride height has several inches of driver-selectable adjustment, although why you would want it as high as in the picture is beyond me. And the rear seat is not that bad for people my size. I am 6 feet tall, and first adjusted the driver's seat to a comfortable position, then got into the rear seat behind the driver, and the leg room was not great but my knees weren't under my chin either. I could ride back there to go to dinner or a movie in San Francisco (30-60 minutes away), but not if it was in LA ;) . My issue would be rear headroom, as i could feel my hair contacting the headliner. Bigger people will have more of a problem.

And I agree with Watt-no reason to pay up.

Its really ugly! My gf's dad placed an order and he cancelled it. :)

Maybe it is just me, but I think having the ability to be 3 miles away in a minute is doing at least one thing pretty well.hilarious
