They just wouldn't sell well. Yet the Arnage was the beginning of a new era at Crewe; modern production line, water based paint etc. Yet there's something about the Arnage that touches the very soul. Maybe it's the equivalent of power boat racing in the QE2 i dunno. But i love it!!!

That said, I hate the lower level models, especially the gtc coupe. It looks like a female product (let your imagination go wild)! lol Awd is a great feature and I wish more luxury saloons came with it as an option, but the shoddy looks of the continental versions is too much to tollerate--ugly is an understatement!

I think the 'final series' name is slightly naff but who cares when the end result is a car that, instead of using up fuel like it doesn't care, actually runs on something that is kind to the environment? Now I'm no eco-hippy or anything, but personally I love bentley and I love their cars-but bio-fuel? they could have easily just used diesel, but as it is due for release in 2009 I think they thought diesel was a bit prehistoric.... but I'm still glad they're using that 6.75 litre V8 though-that is one good engine.

I think Bentley should make an Arnage as nice as the Continental GT and maybe as elegant as the Rolls Royce Phantom. I think Bentley is doing an exellent job with all its cars. Also if you think an Arnage is too slow then you should get a Brooklands because that- according to Jeremy is very, very, very quick for its looks. But still a bit pricey though.
