You got that right. For the most part, you can forget about hand crafted English charm.

Bentley is still Bentley, owned by VW or not. VW owns Audi which owns Lambo, nobody complains there.

what rock have you been hiding under. damn near everyone *****es about how VW destroyed lambo.

Yes, Bentley will always be Bentley, as long as the people at Crewe are hard at work, turning walnut root balls, and hides into the most luxurious interiors around.
But the cars, I don't know. I can't call a Bentley with a German spirit a true Bentley.

most luxurious? i don't know, rolls has to be about even.

Yes, who could forget Rolls. Stay strong soldier.

i'm not giving up. Rolls royce is the name for luxury automobiles. bentley is right with them, but rolls always seeme to capture it for me.

And assuming bentley and rolls interiors are equal, i'd sooner have bmw engineering over VW.

I think the Phantom is a whole lot better looking than that " GT " junk. The interior of it is pretty nice looking, but the outer styling has gottsta go!

I was a little suprised to learn that it's apparently a Rolls tradition not to use premium leather on all surfaces, they use different grades according to where it's going to be placed.

the phantom is much more beautiful and infinately more beautiful than the GT, and if the GT is any indication of what bentley's to come will be like, rolls royce has absolutely no worries. No, the seating material rolls royce uses is amazing, whereas the say trim isn't the same level. I guess you wouldn't notice. I sat in a rolls royce silver spur, and did notice the seating leather (which was amazing) was not the same stuff as on the door. It was sad how noticable the texture difference was.

I don't know, in my world, nothing can touch connolly leather.

It is amazing stuff. I think EVERYONE should use it.
