What You Get When You Purchase a Bentley

[longknife]

A great video @ This Is What You're Paying for When You Buy a Bentley that shows how they make them. Sure puts Caddies and Lincolns to shame.

Uh... it puts lots of cars to shame. When your asking $300,000 for one, it better.

What an asinine thing to say. Does Chateau Rothschild put Welches grape juice to shame?

Jaguar - specifically the "XE" Model.

Jaguar has been my favorite Luxury car since the the TV show
"The Equalizer" with Edward Woodward. So I have had a liking for the vehicle for a long time.


Such a Suh-weeet car. ---->


Second choice for a luxary car : Audi

But I am a truck guy anyway. I live "In the hills."

If I did any real driving (my 2006 has only 83000 miles) I don't think I'd want anything more than a Toyota Avalon. But then I never flew 1st class either.

No real driving? My '94 just rolled over 96k! No real driving, hump. LOL.
I bought it 18 months ago from a little old lady that drove to the post office and back. Just messing with you.
My choice for a road trip car, if gas were still cheap, would be an early '70's Caddie, buttery smooth ride and power to spare. Or maybe the beast of beasts, late sixties Chrysler Imperial, hard to have a bad ride in a luxury car tipping the scales at the same rate as a 4X4. Now, I'll take my '13 Grand Caravan SXT. Plenty of power, nice ride, and up to 30 MPG HWY. Not too shabby for a 2 ton chuck of steel.
'Course I too never have, or will, fly 1st class. Unless of course your buying....

I posted this because a Bentley or one of the classic Rolls are cars beyond anything produced in a factory.

You just can't replace craftsmanship with a robot. Can't be done. If you want quantity, robots are a good option. If you want quality, you gotta go with craftsmen. Period.

Rolls-Royce claimed that...they decried the idea of mass-producing their airplane engines and insisted that Packard could never match the quality of the engines R-R hand-assembled. They were right.

Packard's quality was BETTER!
