I truly adore that car and need to buy one. In white. With cream leather. And lots of chicks in the backseat ... who wipe their feet off before they step in.

^^ I'm with you, this sedan has significantly increased the gangster factor. I think its beautiful and it would be my pick over the Ghost or Phantom (although I can't deny they they are incredible in their own right). I know all three are different price points, but I see this car as a big hit.

I read the other day that sewing the steering wheel leather alone takes 4 hours - by hand! And that the body lines were so complicated on it (they didn't want to make it look like a chauffeured limo), they had to call in some really techy guy to fix the assembly robot thingies .... because the ones they had didn't "get" it.

Its a very exquisite car, I hope it attracts more customers because what I really feel is that Bentley messed up the Arnage sales with the release of the Continental Flying Spur and that's my observation with our local market.

Agreed. I do think that the Flying Spur interfered with Arnage sales, because it was a superior car with newer tech. And considerably larger on the inside. But we do have a steady stream of customers that do not care for the Spur, and are loyal to the Arnage based on looks and the heritage. I am certain that the Mulsanne will recapture the Arnage's position as the ultimate Bentley sedan. The car is exquisite!

I am waiting for Brooklands successor and for T version of Mulsanne. Should be something amazing.
