 Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe or Bentley Brooklands?« »

What ultra luxury coupe are you driving? I'd take the Bentley because I favor its styling and its more powerfull engine. No responses like, "Neither, no manual" or "I'd rather have a Ferrari." If you had to pick one of these, which would it be and why?

I think the Bentley looks much better. So much classier than the Rolls.

The Rolls has more style, and more presence/status. I like the interior better too, but not in the weird reddish color.

All you guys who are saying that the Phantom is a rider's vehicle have never had seat time in one, nor talked or conversed with someone who owns one. These are very much a driver's car, whereas the Maybach is pure rider status.

I would be willing to bet that 50% of the people buying pop tarts are stoned out of their ****ing minds ... There’s nothing quite like being stoned out of your mind at 2am watching a Chuck Norris movie and eating a bowl of fruit loops.

It's more of a historical thing, and doesn't really have anything to do with the driving prowess.

I believe the statement goes: You drive a Bentley, you are driven in a Rolls... Something like that.

I love the Brooklands, and I have never wanted a Rolls Royce. That all changed just now. The Pantom Coupe is stunning!

I still prefer the Bentley's dash and instrument dials, though.

Of the two I like the Rolls exterior better and the Bentley interior better (in a different color). IDK what Rolls was thinking when they made that thing, its too over the top for me inside and just looks tacky especially with the Pimp my Ride style headliner lights.

is it just me or do the modern Bentleys leave you with the impression they still want to make the best damn car they can with the best materials and the best craftsmanship just giving it their all. While Rolls makes a vehicle that builds in just enough be concidered the best of ultra luxury. i just don't get the feeling of over-engeneering with the current rolls as i did with the older ones.

I can see too much latent 7-Series in the Rolls interior as well. Which leaves me a bit cold.

RR. Those suicide doors and that antique dash. Bery naice. All bentleys look the same. Suffering from the Jaguar XJ disease I take it.

Rolls all the way. It looks modern and classy, whereas the Bentley just looks classy and "same old". I like the style, but its been seen before in the past Bentleys.

The Brooklands has a timeless elegance that that the Phantom Coupe doesn't have. Bentley all the way.

Based on what? I don't agree. I think the RR has more class and elegance than the Bentley. The Bentley's look both inside & out are getting old and outdated IMO. I don't find it timeless.

It's subjective but touches like the Rolls' tacky headliner and overall design don't strike me as being as classy as the Bentley.

May be true (no doubt I'd kill for a chance to drive a Phantom), but comparatively, the Bentley is the driver's car of the two.

Bentley for me.

Same here. I just can't get over the Rolls' interior. The dash is only ok, not great. The headliner is absolutely awful.

I think the Bentley will look great for years to come.

Yeah. I see what you mean. It could be tacky...maybe if you were some English aristocrat...lol
I actually find the headliner cool. I bet it gets women all romantical & hot...

I'd go with the Bentley. Just much more classic looking to me. I don't care for the bizarre headlight design of the Rolls AT ALL and the Bentley just has nicer lines to my eye. Like everything about it more than the Rolls. That interior lighting treatment on the Rolls is very interesting though, but way too blingy for my tastes.

Bentley for me. Considering that I would drive the car myself, I'd be looking at the dash alot. I am 28, and would feel at home in the Bentley. If I was 68, probably the Rolls, but not quite sure.
