Bentley Continental V8

Even if my offshore account allowed me to spend money on such vehicles I wouldn't!  Lumps of metal getting you from A to B? No thanks!
 Why pay loads of money for future scrap when it`s layed on via Hotels etc!?

I love how people have thumb-down my previous comment which is pure sense.

I guess its the fantasists who think the be-all and end-all is your BMW's and Porsches etc, which people will never own,never afford to insure or buy, and are scared of the KIA badge becoming an exceedingly brilliant brand,who is pushing the regular established carmakers massively and beating them.

No matter, I'll enjoy driving my Kia stationwagon top of the range in lovely black and hyper silver, my Mazda RX-8 231 in winning blue which is my track day car, and my C4 Coupe VTS in Rouge Lucifer which is my everyday road car. And yes, I do own 3 cars, and im dying to add a Megane R26 to the list so long as the gaffer lets me. But she wont because she'll want my C4. no chance!

That be cars that very closely resemble the makers other cars then.  How surprising and exciting that is.  Yawn.

What ever happened to taste and style?

To me, the new Cee'd is one of the most exciting prospects.

I own a 2011 Kia Cee'd stationwagon after trading my 2009 focus in. Its a much better car believe it or not. It has a better interior, much more equipment for the price sold at, fantastic looks, brilliant 7 year warranty, and the Diesel engines are re-badged Mercedes engines. For a 1.6 in an estate, it has plenty of poke and has brilliant ride quality and handling.

The new Cee'd should be carrying that on, and im most excited for that car because Renault has gone all Eco-stupid scrapping everything but the Scenic, Clio and Megane, Citroen have downsized their cars but, they all look absolutly stunning.

Ford has dowsized the focus massively, you cant fit nobody in the back seats if you have your front seat all the way back (which is required if you 5'10+), i was shocked how bad the ford is for rear leg room let alone boot opening and space. Stunning interior though.

But yes, im not interested in BMW's, Alfa's and the rest because 1) Ill never buy them, 2) As lovely as they look, they just do nothing for me 3) they cost more than i'll ever want to spend on a car.

its not worth me buying one of those up to date cars.it wouldan't last five minutes on my drive.

 i had my cycle locked up in the garage and it vanished.so what do you do?set up a mechine gun post and do alternative hours.round the clock?no your better sticking to a nice robin reliant"with a converted V8 engine"as if?

Why do all cars made today look as though they are built for Clarkson and Essex man?

Given that Porsche already have a Panamera saloon with a diesel engine why don't Bentley do something radical with the Continental Flying Spur and put in a diesel? The V10 diesel from a Phaeton already has more bhp than the Porsche and with a bit of tweaking could be awesome. Mind you a bit of facelift (ars*lift!) at the rear end wouldn't go amiss as it's the least attractive aspect of the Flying Spur.
