Bentley Continental, Again

A ha! The Bentley Continental returns...

Real Life Bentley Continental

Here's a photo of a 1:1 scale (real) Bentley Continental parked where my bride works at the local college.

Sure, this car is basically a re-bodied Volkswagen Phaeton with some Audi thrown into the mix but it's still a nice machine.

Now it's just too bad that we didn't have our camera phones that day when the Aston Martin DB9 was at the local frakking Wal-Mart!!

Still Can't Afford A Bentley Arnage? No Problem!

This, um, Bentley Arnage was found on Ebay a while back. I gotta tell ya, the front of this beast looks fine.

The proportions are a bit off but so what? The grille and headlamps look like the real thing.


The side view? Starting to get into weird territory. The door panels scream Lincoln Town Car as does the wide C pillar.

The C pillar, though, really isn't a problem, because there have been Royces and Bentleys (back when both companies were the same and shared platforms) with stretched C pillars.


The tail lamps are sort of okay but the light cluster around the license plate area screams cheap!!

All in all, this would be a fun car to have if you knew people would laugh at you or feel pity for you. This is the Borat of luxury cars, the Bruno of limos.

The only truly bad thing about this Lincoln Arnage is the interior, which is the same as your Grandpa's ride.

Yes, the seats have customized leather but the luxo-atmosphere is ruined by the plethora of fake Bentley emblems stitched into the seatbacks and plastered onto the dashboard!!

Verdict? I'd take it. I mean, this is no Geely GE but it'll do.
