The only brand that I can think off the top of my head that looks like the Bentley logo is Chrysler, but I don't think that's what you want:

http://www.specialtyparts.com/images/chrysler_logo.jpg
that middle part enlarged:
http://www.autoblog.com/media/2006/06/logo-chrysler.jpg

For referance, the Bentley logo:

http://www.leblogauto.com/images/new_logo_bentley_1.jpg


Any other details of what the car looked like? If it was a Spyker, that's a rare bird here in the states, as they've only just started to bring those things over here (saw one myself at the Winter Park Concours d'Elegance in Orlando).

but i did also think it looked a bit more German and the SS only made it worse

I was going to say I thought that looked familiar. They were actually using the logo, "Swallow Sidecar" if I remember, before the Nazis ever existed. They changed it after the war.

EDIT: Oh, now we have a Wiki link. Cool. *Click* Yup, they became Jaguar.

In the US, the only "S" logos I can think of are:

Suzuki
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d25/sonza68/Misc/suzuki_logo.png

and Saleen
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d25/sonza68/Misc/Saleen20logo.jpg

Neither of which are luxury, and they don't have a Bentley like background.
