You don't find Audi interiors at least attractive?

Well for one thing, the trademark bulls-eye air vents help the Bentley interior stand out. It has a psychological effect of being something special. The two tone look gives pizzaz, and the lavish expanse of natural wood trim says "gorgeous" all over. Also, the waterfall center console in the rear passenger compartment and highly sculpted dash, you don't see that in an Audi.

Things like this, as well as more subtle ques are used to provide the interior with a rich and timeless air - "Bespoke" as the British would say. Audi has become very good at utilizing such things - like real aluminum trim and detailing to create this atmosphere in their own cars. They use wood, which common to the industry is colored and quite heavily laquered, but Bentley uses a much more natural prosess which does make a difference.
