Definitely the new Bentley!! It looks stunning - much better then I've ever thought!! A beautiful piece of car!! Not as great as the Arnage, but mind-blowing though.

Just look at it:

For me I'd have all three, but not these three. A Brooklands, 57S and Drophead Coupe, but I have to choose here it is definitely the new Bentley.

That is one fugly phantom. Something more conservative for me.

Maybe a Bentley in a darker color will convince me too.

Ive seen the roller line up ALL of em in real life..

I must say that they are as they seem on the pics.. amazing.. large..grand.. and imposing..

But the bentley i belive is a MULTIDIMENSIONAL thing.. its body is like a living skin.. like a athlete.. muscular.. very 3D

While i feel the RR is a brick wall one dimensional design..

Maybe this can be further explained with this picture..

So naturally i vote for bentley

PS
Ohh and i dont want my friends that jump out the back of the car to look like they own the car and ME.. haha

Phantom, while the bentley turned up to be better looking than expected, its design lacks purity, it's over styled and lacks that british sober elegance, something that the phantom better captured.

I dont find Phantom amazingly ugly, Bentley is even uglier.

The new Bent makes the Roller look like a big fat stinky cigar smoking ass terd in comparison. Love the new Bently.

This Phantom is made for different market and it doesn’t have to satisfy everyone but even nicest Bentley will remain pimp car anyway.

Interesting ... The same people who were bitching about BMW flame surfacing are now praising it - on Bentley.

I'll have to choose the Bentley this time around. The maybach is just outdated and the Phantom...well it's been here for a while.

May be because they like the flame surfacing better on the Bentley?

Watch and learn.
This car will make the gap between the Bentley & RR brand even larger.
It will be compared to Ghost, not Phantom.

Phantom - as said - is beyond typical car experience.

But as driver's car ... tough call between Ghost and this new Bentley, a would say.

Watch & learn.

In my opinion this car is between Ghost and Phantom. Very very difficult to compare these cars…but in this class, you will buy a car because you love/like it…if there are enough people, who like the Mulsanne, it will sell like hell. And probably, people who buy the Bentley already have a Phantom in the garage. So a drivers car and one to use a Chauffeur with…

EnI, please do we have to read your Rolls-Royce nonsense in this thread also? I know you feel slighted everytime a new Rolls or BMW competitor comes out and people start liking it, but you're going to have to get over that.

Watch and learn what? I don't care what kind of experience the Phantom is, it looks like an old barn compared to this new Bentley IMO.

Please don't start with the marketing junk about what this car is going to be compared too. Rich folks will compare this to everything else at the high end of the market, including the Phantom. To think they'll only look at the Ghost is just plain silly.

Need to see interior shots more ... But it looks like the design is even less distinctive & prestigious than the one seen in Ghost. Not sure about materials ... But I'm sure Ghost is on the same level if not higher.

Regarding the Phantom ... it's a yacht / living room / throne on wheels ... A completely beyond-car experience. No matter in which seat are you sitting. While Mulsanne looks more Bentley - more driver's car.
