The Mercedes Cl600 seems to be its most direct rival to me.

seriously!

CL65 (which I think is a better car in every way) but BCGT still takes the cake away. I don't know why, it's engimatic BCGT really has no rivals. it's in a class of it's own.

None of the mentioned competitors have all wheel drive - nice for us northerners that will use it as a DD.

^The CL550 comes in AWD (4matic) here. Not the CL600 or CL63/65 though, which are closer matches in terms of power.

CL65 AMG (even the CL600) which is actually a far more advanced than the antiquated Bentley and its laughable tech.

Still, I prefer the Bentley GT Speed over a CL65....but it has to be the Speed though.

I think only the DB9 would...The ferrari is more of a "supercar" and the CL has more of a "large body sedan with 2 doors" look.

maserati GT was definately on my short list when it first came out... kind of like the porsche cayman S in 2006... both because of the new looks.

well i bought the porsche back then and learned my lesson... wait a year to see how you feel about new cars looks.

now i still prefer the Bentleys handsome muscular shape more than the sexy curves of the maserati, and something about the fisheye headlights on the maserati bother me now. my opinion the bentley has a more timeless classic look, just like i wish i bought the porsche 911 rather than the cayman S.
