Vs 2013 Bentley CGT W12 vs. BMW M6

[GTA45E]

Say you already bought your dream house. It`s all paid for and decked out to the max. Now you have $460,000 left over just to break butter and spend on your favorite two-door.
Which one of these cars would you choose and why. The 2013 Bentley CGT V12 or the 2013 BMW M6. I don`t think this should be a poll, (there are so many BMW fans here...)
I just want to know the reason why you would choose one over the other. Please don`t be biased with badges, (this is real)... one or the other has more value and substance for the money spend.

Bentley, Rolls Royce, Maybach, I dont care about such vechicles at all. I rather have the M6 or M5. And that Bentley is seriously ugly.

 

[Zonda]

Imo the CGT is a fat beast(not the good kind), with no soul. M6 easy!

 

[GTA45E]

Interiors are worlds apart on both cars!

 

[SKY]

M6 without even thinking.

 

[Levi68]

That one is easy: M6 all the way!

 

[Guibo]

M6 for me. If actually given the choice, I'd probably have to drive them both before really deciding.

 

[Gianclaudio]

CL63 AMG

I'll take the M6, IMO the CGT is bad-taste, flashy, nouveau riche kind of car. (The Mulsanne being the inverse case)

Regards!

I REALLY hate the old GT (unless it's seriously modded to look nothing like it does when stock), but *something* has me intrigued about this new one, and I don't like Bentley's too much (ruined by the "bling bling" Rap community and seems the brand even panders too much to design their cars to appeal to Rap culture), but THIS is a tough one. I dunno which one I'd pick yet.

 

[LaArtist]

M6 all day every day

 

[deity]

I can't believe this. Bentley CGT, it's on a whole different level, really. I love (read: LOVE) the M6 under normal circumstances, but its not nearly as special.

 

[ateekt]

M6 by miles! If this thread had a poll, the results would've been very disappointing for Bentley!

Need I say more!?

I actually don't understand why the two are being compared, it's like the GTR vs M5 thread, two totally different cars which will appeal to completely different customers.

IMO you just opened Pandora's Box. Are they totally different?

They are both GT's, two door performance orientated machines for different tastes. They both have 'split personalities'. Luxury from both in abundance, adaptive dynamics, 2+2 seat configuration. Bentley's image my differ (in the mind only) because they lend themselves totally towards being a perfect 6er competitor. Do not let a hand build cabin with a huge slab of Burr Walnut fool you - just think Bentley Continental Supersports and there you have it, book closed.

Create a group(s):

Porsche Panamera, Mercedes-Benz CLS, Audi A7, BMW 6 GC, Maserati Quattroporte, Aston Martin Rapide etc. (1)

Bentley CGT, BMW 6 Coupe, Jaguar XKR, Audi R8, Mercedes-Benz SL, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Aston Martin Vantage etc. (2)

Do not forget! In Group (2) All are offered as Convertible Cars also be it with soft or retractable hardtop.

So arguably I think this thread Bentley vs BMW is more than legit

 

[Zafiro]

The M6 even have a better looking interior and I don't think interior materials are much different either. Bentley certainly doesn't looks more expensive.

 

[DblPen]

dont like cgt, rather have m6

 

[K-A]

I think the Bentley's interior looks much more luxurious/expensive. However, that color is really hurting it.

The BMW's looks sportier and more teutonic and a little more cluttered.

The materials BETTER be better in the Bentley. The 6er is possibly my favorite looking new car out right now, but the interior materials, although nice and solid, weren't too overly impressive or above the "average BMW", IMO.

Come on mate, who else would you want or expect to open a pandora's box but me.

I personally see Bentley as a rival to a 2 door Rolls, is just sits on a level of luxury and prestige above Audi, Merc and BMW. Typically the M6 will probably rip it apart but is that really the point because with the Bentley you are buying into the image more than anything else don't you think.

 

[Levi68]

BMW M6 and Bentley CGT are drirect rivals, the BMW being more sporty and the Bentley beign more luxury (doesn't mean more comfotable thought I think it would). A Rolls Royce is a level above, it is like a Bugatti, super exclusive.
