- ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTERNew Yorkers and guests can party this April 13 with Bentley Motors as it hosts the East Side House Settlement Gala Preview of the 2006 New York Auto Show. Even better than the formalwear and champagne will be the debut of Bentley's much-anticipated Bentley Continental GTC, otherwise known as the drop-top version of the Continental GT coupe. To raise even more money than the event itself, Bentley will do a live auction to sell the very first GTC available in the United States. Bankers, Bentley owners and celebs are expected to turn out for the event, all proceeds from which will benefit the East Side House Settlement.

The convertible looks good i think, nice classy car...

Bentley is not so main stream, to have such a variety, that is how they do, it is their style. Low volume producer. Low volume seller.

PS> I will be at Manhattan Motor Cars Gallardo Spyder Premier Tuesday night. Im excited.

Looking forward to hearing all about it (Gallardo Spyder Premier).
But about the Bentley. The car looks just awesome. Saw a Continental GT on the showroom floor of my local exotic car dealership (Foreign Cars Italia). I was there on some other business but I just had to take a peek indside. The car looks as great inside as it is from the outside. Of course there has to be something that one can complain about: The seats were probably pulled back a bit and it looked like there was just about no legroom in the back. So, it's a coupe with the same coupe downsides as all the other coupes with rear seats. Never mind that it costs a stack more than the other coupes.

Why are you complaining? EVERY other manufacturer does the same thing. What makes Bentley any different?

The Artist

no man they dont..
not like this..
do you see the similaritys between the Conti GT and the F spur? the f spur is like a Conti GT with 2 more doors..nothing else is change afaik..
and this now.. looks like a Conti with no roof..

now i understand your point.. for example the C class and the W220 looked similar but not in this way.. this like copying one design and making 3 cars..

So they've got variants of the same car. Again, everyone does that.

MB has the E-Class, and they have the E-Class Wagon. Isn't that the same thing? The C-Class, they have the sedan and the wagon. The E46 3 Series had a sedan, a wagon, a coupe and a convertible.

Heck, Zonda has the Zonda C12S, the Zonda Roadster, the Zonda F and the Zonda F Roadster.

Bentley's Continental Series, consisting of the GT, the Flying Spur and the GTC is nothing different.

The Artist

when you put it like that i understand..
but if your try to understand my point..
all paganis are named zonda.. and the E class wagon is is also named e class..
the thing is those cars are variants of one modell..
but this feels like new names and new cars.. it seems like they want to market them as new cars.. when they really arent..
they should be named Conti GT conti cab and conti sedan then..

Top Secret

I'm pretty sure they're all called Continental something or other.

The Artist

dont know about this one..
but the sedan is called flying spur..

PS
I might be bitching to much about this though.. im sorry.. but it might be cause i dont like the design.. and im waiting for something new..lol
by the way love the large bentely cab.. its the only superb VAG bentley imo
