PHOTOS: The closest most of us will EVER get to the new Bentley Continental Convertible

A couple weekend's ago I had the opportunity to get a new Bentley Continental Convertible to review.

I know...dirty job but someone has to do it.

It was no surprise that after the weekend was over, I was thoroughly convinced that I could be forever happy driving this magnificent ride, till it’s my time to head to the big social network in the sky.

NOTHING is missing on this vehicle for those who truly like to drive.

Power, Speed, Fit, Finish, Cachet and Looks

Did we say looks?

Over and over, I kept going outside all weekend just to look at it!

The ONLY downer on this car is the nav system. Let’s just say that the ease of use is on par with the original version of MS-DOS!

But who cares, when you’ve got the top down and every gorgeous woman in your path is subliminally offering you sex in exchange for a ride?

We’ll live with the nav system and like it!

The new Bentley Continental Convertible.

It’s the best of the best.

Agreed and to say nothing is missing well does it have:
a metal retractable roof
satellite and HD radio
reversing camera

Some people don't want a hardtop, nobody cares about satellite radio (or at least I don't- it didn't add much to my car), and who the hell needs a backup camera on a convertible?! It's not some huge SUV! You're just lazy when you reverse if you think that's necessary on this vehicle.

Give this car a break. The design (Continental GT) is four years old, and it's holding up quite well.

001, where is that beach?

Is it Santa Barbara?

I believe it is a few miles north of San Diego.

(001 you may want to be more careful with your pics just by looking at them and doing a quick google search I found out a lot of stuff).

At first I was going to say it was San Onofre State Beach where the nuclear power plant is and where lots of surfers hang out.

I saw one last week in Flossmoor Il. It was sky blue with a navy top. It was a gorgeous car. I couldn't get close enough to see who was driving but it was a damn nice ride.
This is someone around here who has a black coupe thats really nice.
Its weird to say but they are getting common out here.

I agree...my neighbor (a few doors down) got a light blue one too. I don't think it is the same person, though. Very very beautiful

It's unbelievably gorgeous. It makes the coupe look downright drab.

In fact, my cousin is coming in next week to stay at my house... because he's going to Bentley Northbrook to buy one. I don't know if he's getting a GTC, Flying Spur or just a GT, but if he lets me, I'll post a couple pictures. I'm jealous.

The Northbrook store is great. Have you been to Ferrari/Maserati in Hinsdale? Love that place.

I was in the second GTC in America the day after it came off the boat. My friend brought it by for my auto class to drool over and I must say it is amazing. Just seeing it sitting there was amazing. It is very comfortable, very stunning to look at, just awesome. I loved the original Bently Continental GT and the GTC just makes it better.

My neighbor has the Continental Coupe and I'm sure he'll buy this one, too. There's hardly a car worth over $150k that he doesn't have.

I live in PG county, Maryland and I have seen more Bentleys, Aston Martins and Maseratis than You could imagine by Tysons Corner.

This car is as obnoxious as it is luxurious, and if it doesn't hold resale well (which it will), I really want to look into a used one that I can de-badge.

That wouldn't make much of a difference, but I just wouldn't want people to see me as the guy who bought a Bentley because it's a Bentley.

This is easily one of my favorites.

I fell in love with the GTC at the '06 Ft. Lauderdale yacht show. I instantly realized I had discovered by next car. The only thing stopping me at the moment is an abundance of money.

It is a contemporary beauty, reminiscent of classical style.

I don't find this to be that rare.. I already saw 3 different ones here in moorestown nj.. Bentley's and Ferrari's are a dime a dozen here on the right days..
