    I thought I'd hate it, but I don't. the initial pictures made me very worried Bentley had lost its mind, but for some reason this car works for me. Yes, it's shocking at first, but once you stop focusing on the headlights, the front end works. It's still got the studly freight-train-powerful look that makes classic Bentleys awesome, it's stately in profile, the rear three quarter is very classic.

    If the Arnage had to be replaced, I'm okay with this, it's a strong evolution of that shape and it pulls Bentley forward while staying rooted in its history.

    Hey, it could've been the new XJ.

    Geely managed to mate their RR ripoff with the starring vehicle from The Car.

    It didn't turn out well.

    The ePRS (US Patent No. c11077983) de-snootified the press release to this:

    Bentley has a new car. It is the Mulsanne. It looks like a droopy version of QEII's limo.

    We describe every design cue in excruciating detail because we think...excuse us, we know...you care.

    We describe our multimedia infotainment system as if it's the first one ever. We do have a 2200W in-car amp for you ballers.

    We have keyless start. It's the first one in the world.

    The interior is there. We describe it in way more detail than it deserves.

    A 6¾-litre V8 engine will be used. The power is an adequate 505 hp and 752 torques. We reduced CO2 emissions so we can be green. It's not enough to change your UK CO2 tax charge.

    Those wheels look like a pain to clean. I feel bad for the minimum wage Portuguese* immigrants who will be performing that task.

    I keep thinking "It's not such a bad-looking old thing, if it just had bigger, more squared-off headlamps, like the Arnage did."

    Then I realize the result would be a car that looked exactly like the Arnage did.
