Looks good, I didn't even know there was a new one. Is there still an option of the 'Bentley' grille?

I think its even more fugly than the old one and that was very fugly. It would be a boring world though if we all liked the same things. ;D

Only a 3.0 Diesel available at the minute, it's good though, they do drive nicely too, but squidgy however, but a really nice car, the amount of kit you get as standard is unbelievable  :o.

For such a big car, the boot space is p*** poor. And the estate is just as bad.  ???

Whilst I agree they are a lot of car for the money I prefer the Bentley front end and the back, to me, is too big... :-\ :-\ :-\

Can't see it properly, pOxy crApple on that poxy eBay app.
Buts it's good we have a range of opinion, rather than a certain clique bemoaning on about the same stuff all the time.

"well done team"  ;)


:D

Front end looks like a chinese Audi wannabe, and as for the back end... well

I'd put reasonable money on the design teams final approval briefing going something along the lines of:

"Oh cock, we forgot about the back end! Quick colour in the rear lights and stick some chrome around them before Geoff in marketing sees it..."

Can't see it lasting any better that the original, and you can guarantee that the UK will get no petrol option, V8 or otherwise, and no long wheelbase, about 3" on the previous one, either. ::)

Still pig ugly IMO. Although better looking than the old one. :)

And re the first link, since when did dealers start photo shopping cars over a pic of shop front...? Seem strange when the rest of the pics seem to show the car on site. :-\

One of the motors I considered as a replacement for the Omega - reasonable looks, fully loaded, handles like a pregnant pig and overpriced - otherwise a good contender ;)

V8 option of course  :)
