That's crazy. You'd think there'd be some running around that area.

I live in an area where the most Bentley's and RR's are sold. The local dealer moves the most of them in the country. They also have Astons and Lotus in their showroom. I routinely see Bentley's including the Continental GT 'vert yesterday, Bentley Flying Spur the day before and a Maybach the same day. It's really pretty disgusting.

Saw two of them in person when I lived in Northern VA. The exhaust note certainly is orgasmic. The one I heard, I also got to talk to the owner. Was a very down to earth older gentleman.

You know I hear that all the time but if a VW is that fabulous does it really matter? Especially when this car is based on the Phaeton, which is actually more luxurious than the Audi A8. Are you going to tell me you wouldn't take a 550hp twelve-cylinder ultra-luxo gorgeous coupe?

I have to say, though, that I would much rather have an R8 and an M3 sedan than this
