I still expect it to look much better than that ....if it doesn't, I'll be very disappointed.

It will for sure, at least i hope so. MB MUST NOT mess up their biggest luxury coupe.

 

[Alx]

Those pics are just hideous.... ruining the best MB of all.

[7saen]

Wow!!.. I like it in these pics. It looks so sleek!

 

[Alx]

Not for me... just not that pretty.

 

[LaArtist]

yep those pics makes it look pretty sleek..i think it will turn out gr8 when the camo is gone

 

[Alx]

Well if it actually looks like that, im jumping or Bentley or M6 if i buy another GT. Honestly that is not a MB that i am a fan of. Perhaps it will look ok in person, but its really not that hot.

 

[LaArtist]

you cant really tell until the camo is off..have some faith..and you are AMG GT guy.. so hold on until the new CL AMG comes without doubt it will be HOT..

 

[MoSs]

alx if u think the bentley is hot , u gotta think that is hot ... cuz i dont think it will loock uglier than the bentley ,,, and with amg kit it will look sick ...

 

[Alx]

Bentley is hot in person, pics dont do them justice. I saw a white one the othere day which belongs to Allen Iverson form the Knicks. At 212 Motoring for a photoshoot. Car is off the hook, very seductive!!!

Dont even try and compare this CL thing to the Bentley.

The way its shaping out to look, is like a 2 door Honda.

Anyways im just not impressed, its not interesting and doesnt look stylish or has no nice lines. Actually a bland look.

To each thier own... feel free to drool at it all day Moss!!!

It may be ugly too you, but it is total class!!! You have to see one in person to apprecaitte ti.

 

[Alx]

Again, im not even a Bentley fan, but give credit where its do.

I dont care how much tape your gonna take off the CL photo, it will never look astounding. Its obvious there are no lines on the car, and the front is not even as anice as the current model.

Lets just make this clearer: "I M O"

 

[LaArtist]

Well i aint gonna tell you my opinion on the bentley cause you might buy it..
but let me put it like this..keep you current car rather than the bentley

 

[Alx]

My brother... I love my car.... I have so much fun with it blasting in and out of lanes at 150mph and better.... It is just a pure PLEASURE to drive!!! The sound of the exhaust makes me crazy!!!!

PS. There was a Bentely GT racing a CL55 Komp. up my block by work (My block is the size of two regular blocks)... Anyways the only time the Bentley caught up to the CL was when the CL was sitting at the next traffic light already. My employees ran in telling me i would have been proud if i saw the race... They all said the sound of the cars was like THUNDER!!!

 

[Zafiro]

AlxAmg, this is from mbworld.org (a E55 and Bentely owner)

The Bentley is fast, damn fast, but only after it's rolling. I think the E55 is faster up until 150, then the Bentley will kill it, but that all depends on how big the drivers' balls are.

I've never raced both side by side, and my girlfriend is too scared to do it with me.

The Bentley dont seem to be so slow.

 

[Alx]

Andreas, I got into the 160's yesterday driving home but the problem isnt balls, its room! I constantly catch up to traffic to quickly.... The pull is real intense and fast, and it switches into 5th gear at 140mph. PS that is without flooring the car, just up to the pin. (You guys know what im talking about). The power is dramatic.


Also, Iv'e driven and been in the GT several times... The car is no joke, even on take off it breaks all 4 wheels loose. My friends are no slouches when drive....

 

[MoSs]

I am not saying that the bentley cont. is ugly , i have allways thought that the cont. is a good looking gt .. but IMO its not worth its price , its too damn expencive...but u are comparing a spy picture to the bentley continental pictures , i think it is still earlly to judge which car looks better ...

and trust me i cant wait untill the upcoming cl comes out ,,, because it (the cl 550) could be my futre car , eather this or the clk 63 AMG or the porsche 911 carrera , i just cant wait ...

 

[Alx]

Alx if you think the Bentley is hot , you gotta think that is hot ... because i dont think it will look uglier than the Bentley, and with AMG kit it will look sick ...

After reading the statement sounds like you think its pretty ugly...

As for the spy pics, well they are pretty revealing, it doesnt take much more imagination to see or figure out the rest of it.

Again, i just dont like the style of it... I hope it surprises me...

The Bentley is an AWD W12 Turbo stickered at $164,900. Interior and exterior is amazing.

Its expensive but lets be real here.

Sticker on my CL55 Komp. is $129,400. If my CL was AWD and Turbo where would it be price wise? And thats not even getting into the amenities or interior.

 

[MoSs]

alx if u want to switch from mercedes i think the db9 would be a better car than the bentley ...the db9 is an awsome car , it looks gorgeous especially with the dark red collor..

 

[Alx]

Mr.Moss, this is where its all funny too me...

IM NOT a brand fan, for me its not switching form Mercedes....

For me its going to something as prestigious or more, or even something completely different. I dont really care what brand it is...

The Aston is beautiful. Yes, but i cant keep with mechancal issues, i just dont have time for that... I LOVE my car and really dont want to get out, but i will not keep it pass the warranty expiration point. Which is May '07. I cant even purchase an extended for it, Mercedes rules are it has to be done within 1st year or 12,000. miles. Anyways, without a warranty this car is useless too me. I am NOT willing to deal with MB problems and nonsense that goes wrong with the car. All the minor little glitches and stuff... Besides it is very expensive to take care off if you have to pay out of pocket. FACTORY WARRANTY is very important too me, unless i get a daily beater than i dont care, i drive it for a bit and thenm get rid of it after a few months. Which is what i do for the most part, but this car i LOVE. And choose not to do that. So before my warranty is up i will see what else i like. The Benley GT holds value, even after a year you will not take a hit. Other than that i dont get cars brand new, if the mechanical issues arent too bad i will look into a Vanquish or something... Other that that, i am really stuck on a Ferrari or Lambo. I am not using my car everyday and instead take a demo form work. So for a car that i can use only a couple of times a week, i might as well get really stupid and get something obscene.
