Good choices. This Bentley is beautiful and classy as usual. Create choice for the wealthy.

You're just asking to be deboosted. What Lexus can compare to a Bentley. Give me a break son! You dream too much. No Lexus board member even dreams of Bentley status. Only morons like you do. Get a life, go out, get a girlfriend or something.

LOL, none of you get his sarcasm! I can't believe you all still believe him! It's a huge joke! He told me himself!

it definitely screams luxe and money. but despite its speed it's just too much of an old man car.

Beautiful "olde world car". Nothing like a stately Bentley to get you about on a Saturday afternoon! A car for one who enjoys the fine things in life and have "made" it. Not something I would drive if I even had the money now. but if I was 60+ and needed to pimp on those women at the COuntry Club, maybe I would think about it! LOL!

The Bentley Brooklands coupe is a very nice car, but in no way is as nice as the Lexus ES350.

Next!

AmazingBimmer will come out and say this car is for all the cheap Volkswagen customers that couldn't afford the $320,000 Rolls Phantom even though this Bentley Brooklands comes in with a base price of $350,000.

I thought it was closer to $400,000? LOL.

The Brooklands is simple beauty... but I, too, think it's too much of an "old money" car for my personality.

Had I the $400,000 most would spend on this car, I would get three cars:

Aston Martin DB9 Volante ($170,000)

Range Rover Supercharged ($90,000)

Mercedes S600 ($140,000)

And obviously, if I were that rich, I'd have some money left, so I'd probably get an RS4 "on the side." I'd need some real performance once in awhile; DB9 isn't quite there. It's more like a fixture. But it's still a dream car.

I am sorry, but the styling of this does not compare to the styling of the Continental. I thought Bentley was done with these-type front-ends with the intro of the Continental line? The Continental looks sleek, rich, bold powerful AND modern as compared to this which does not look modern to me at all.
