a green Bentley would mean we should all give up on cars

Need I remind you, gentlemen, that according to Bentley themselves, we already have a green Bentley - the E85-compatible Continental Supersports? They didn't exactly turn that one into a Prius.
I'm fine with Bentley making their cars more fuel-efficient, as long as they're still ridiculously powerful and luxurious (this is important!). Things like brake energy regeneration, multidisplacement engines and solar energy collecting sunroofs are all excellent inventions in my humble opinion, because they enable you to do more with the same, or the same with less.

As Paefgen told we will see green Bentleys in future, but they do not give up even a one percent of Bentley's traditional feel and traditional power.

Conti Supersports was a great proof that it is possible.

They need to rethink why people buy their cars - cos it 'aint about the cars being economical or GREEN. LOL
Is the Supersport laughable?
