I hate the line of the rear door on this car, it makes it look like one of those disguised prototype test cars. I don't like this car, it's very dull looking for something so expensive. -- Last edit: 2007-11-05 17:13:06 |

Make BENTLEY Year of manufacture 2007 Model CONTINENTAL FLYING SPUR Engine size(CC) 5998 I've seen those "TU" registrations on lots of Bentleys in the past. |

If you want a real Bentley, get an Arnage, not this Volkswagen. |
|
◊ 2007-11-05 17:24 |
I like the Arnage, but I also find the CFS quit nice also ... |
|
◊ 2007-11-05 17:29 |
The car is nice, but I agree that the rear door line and the C-pillar look bad -- Last edit: 2007-11-05 17:32:23 |

haha why do you say so, it is pretty, and i dont find it anything similar to a Volkswagen. |
|
◊ 2007-11-05 18:13 |
You do realise it's built on the same platfrom and shares many components with the VW Phaeton, including the engine? -- Last edit: 2007-11-05 22:59:14 |

1800 TU is a registration which belongs to Bentley Motors and is often used on a press demonstrator. It seems odd to keep such a famous number in a tv programme when it would have been so easy to give it false plates. |
|
◊ 2007-11-05 18:20 |
Ah, that's explain why I've seen TU plates (they use various different numbers) on so many Bentleys. |
|
◊ 2007-11-05 18:31 |
What if so? unless you read you cant know it has the same platform, and if it shares some components what? it is still a completely different car... |
|
◊ 2007-11-05 18:37 |
...similar as the plenty of GM-cars. Or Opel/Saab, VW/Seat and so on... |

The problem with cars today is that the companies are all copying each other's designs, only a few dare to be original. The Flying Spur looks too much like a Merc S-Class or something like that, it's not very unique. |
|
◊ 2007-11-05 19:08 |
Similar for you, i dont see any resemblance between them... |
|
◊ 2007-11-05 22:31 |
I don't think the Bentley looks anything like an S-Klasse, either previous ones or the current. It just looks like the clay model they made got molten or just went straight to production without any styling being applied to the basic shape. Same goes for the "anonymous" face - I don't like them at all. |

If you look at the side of the Flying Spur, it does have similar lines to the W220 and W221 S-Class. The door handles are also very similar, why can't different companies design different door handles any more? Look how many cars copied the VW Passat (B5). With the design of the Flying Spur, it looks to me like they realised halfway through that it was getting too close to the S-Class at the sides, so they abruptly changed the line of the rear doors, resulting in that ugly C-pillar. -- Last edit: 2007-11-05 22:55:28 |

I don't see the similarities besides both being sedans. Grabaround door handles tend to look alike on most cars. I also don't like the accusations of "copying" - there are certain trends in automotive design that develop over time, and many mutually contemporary cars exhibit some of them .gif ";)") |

Well personally I see similarities in a lot of car designs these days, and not just ones where several companies share the same basic design (Escalade/Yukon/Tahoe, Ford Galaxy/VW Sharan/Seat Alhambra). My and my friend were discussing this in the pub the other night and he was bemoaning that too many European cars seem to look the same as each other these days. We noted the Citroen DS as a classic example of a completely original design for it's era. Sometimes I wonder if in several decades time cars will all look like those homogenous bubble cars you see in science fiction stories, some concept car designs are pretty worrying. -- Last edit: 2007-11-05 23:38:58 |

Even that can be cast in doubt. Some historians have noted a possibly less-than-coincidental visual similarity between the DS and the 1953 Loewy-designed Studebakers. |
|
◊ 2009-10-15 23:19 |
Well, only the shape of the bonnet was a bit similar, by coincidence. The rest of the Studebaker - how nice it may be - is just a well proportioned but conventional car, whereas the DS is is every aspect (except its engine) completely new and different... |

Bentley have used 1800 TU, 1900 TU and 2000 TU. |
|
◊ 2011-06-20 19:22 |
TU was a Cheshire registration under the old system. Crewe is in Cheshire. |
