The ownership experience with the Phaeton was negative- lots of technology and bugs with a dealer network that did not understand or care much about the car. I took my lumps in the used car market and looked forward to the Bentley. Same car, triple the price. I took one drive in my Phaeton Coupe and looked ahead to the same disappointments. Plus, there is no way to drive the Bentley con brio, you just drag around too much weight. I sold it after one week of ownership and managed to avoid a financial bath.

A Gentleman's Hot Rod, and it would last long enough to establish a 'Relationship' of sorts with. That's 'A Good Thing'. Understated excellence of the very best kind. The perfect upgrade from a Lincoln LSC w/a stealth Cobra engine & racing/performance brakes. As for it being 'German Made & Engineered' that would just be part of sorting out and establishing what kind of 'Relationship' it would end up being. The inner character of any car/woman is what makes or breaks any important relationship. The learning curve would prove most intersesting one way or the other.
