My point is that the only reason you would buy a Ghost, is because you cannot afford the Phantom!

Vulgar,tacky,ostentatious,with no class or style. Designed purely with premiership footballists in mind I would imagine. ::)

The Ghost isn't particularly nice to drive, doesn't feel special. That's something Bentley lost when VAG bought it and Rolls Royce to a lesser extent when BMW bought it. The full size Phantom is a lovely vehicle to drive, and really doesn't compare to the Ghost. It seems more care and attention wen into that vehicle.
I'd be happy with a Bentley Arnage, the last proper Bentely. The Flying Spur, the 4 door GT version, is again nothing special to drive. Especially when the key is exactly the same as one for a Golf / Sharan or any VW vehicle.

I'm able to get Ghost's on short term loan (trials), I could take one to the Lakes, filled to the gunnels with Lord TB's assorted junk for people to try  :y
