And the fact that it's had an arse transplant from a first gen Panamera. I still prefer it to the outgoing model though.

I actually really like the oval rear lights. They're a lot more distinctive than the ones it used to have.

I really like this one. A lot better than the original 2003 CGT. Only thing I'd change is make the grille a little shorter, but even as it is isn't bad.

time for something new!!

My least favorite design element is how the grill appears t be quite flush with the rest of the body work. I feel like it should be recessed more.

Now I'm a fan of Bentley!
It looks so much better now, more athletic and not a log of wood on wheels.
Maybe he front grill should be more round is some areas, looks a bit to square for the over look. And the only thing I hate are the electronic dash with spydo and tach, I hate those things! It's a Bentley for hundreds of thousands of Eur, so do proper gauges. That way it feels more crafted and less programmed.

I know if I win the lottery this is going to be bought and painted BRG. I love it much more than the last face-lifted model. And that interior...

One thing I cant wait for now is the new Flying Spur. If they will make it along these lines with that front and back, especially those back lights it should the best looking 4 door limousine on the market.

Is it ugly? No, is it the "OMG IT IS GORGEOUS" levels of good looking like many seem to think? Not even close with that front end..
