Maybe my F car replacement.

Love everything about it except the high center console. Kind of a buzz-kill for that romantic evening drive with your loved one!

Not a hint of British, but then again the VW Group is German. Wondering why the change to Japanese design? Maybe Bentley is realising customers are tired of unreliability and high running costs?  This could be a game changer for Bentley with moving toward Japanese quality and design. Bravo! If they up the warranty and include annual service during warranty period like many great luxury brands that'd be normal in the industry. Good to see these changes when this model is officially announced. 

Five years of service with 42,000 mile. Only annual service performed and one minor warranty issue. The car was just perfect and service was not that expensive. I think most service issues are from owners not putting on enough miles, cars work better when driven.

I doubt they will ever have the latest generation of Japanese electronics given the lower production numbers. My second one was light years ahead with the newer console. The Naim speaker system was outstanding and the car was amazingly comfortable.

Am glad you didn't have the very common split hose that requires engine out. Drove her often and the rear glass window from the convertible top fell out! Common problem according to dealership mechanic. Also drove her ib the snow with Blizzak tires. Agree Bentley is very far behind the tech curve compared to BMW, Mercedes, etc. Good to know you got lucky, yet check 6Speed as you can see there are many problems. Hopefully the next new model Bentley takes after Japanese, though the more i look at the front grill it seems like the Chrysler (?). Am sure Bentley will be confident in the upcoming model and up the warranty and include annual servicing. The longer warranty and included servicing will mean they have faith in their products.
