@rapandrnd I guess you don't listen when you watch. The reason why the 30's Saloon was included in the group was because, it was the last "ground up build" until the new Mulsanne. It's all new and designed by Bentley. So yah, It is British.
Well, there's one review where they compared this to the Continental and the Mulsanne handled like crap by comparison. Now, before you start blabling that "this car is not about handling", you should know that the very same Continental beat the Rolls Royce Ghost in noise levels, overall comfort and handling again of course. So apparently that old the Phaeton platform is still better. Just get the Continental, I'm done here.
@Gurksallad10 That's true. However, they're using technology from VW, for example Audi's MMI navigation system (just like you find BMW's iDrive in a Rolls Royce). So, what you can say is, it was built from the ground up in Britain, with British style and German technology - a great combination, if you ask me.
@rapandrnb Well the company may be owned by Germans, but this car is quintessentially British. British engine, style and above all badge make it a British product.
@rapandrnb The Bentley Mulsanne is actually as Brittish as Bentleys get these days, Brittish engine, Brittish design and Brittish made. If this was as VW as the continental it would have a twelve cylinder engine and four wheel drive.
@rapandrnb Well, not actually. German money doesn't make it German. It was, unlike the Continental GT, totally developed on Britain, and doesn't have the underpinnings of any other VW Group car.
Great car, excellent review!

@ADAMYESHOMO It's made in UK. That makes it British. But yes, Bentley is owned by the VW group. That doesn't make it German.

I'm glad Bentley didn't screw up with Mulsanne's design, like they did with Continental Flying Spur and its "brilliant" rear.
I just can't get enough of Arnage-Brooklands-Azure 'trio'. Let's wait for Mulsanne's coupé and convertible versions. No 4.0 TFSI, please!
