At the airport, I parked my blue 2005 next to a new GTC, I'll let you guys decide which is better looking (Captain Baker wants to buy a lower-mileage version of my color car):

To me, the convertible takes away from the beautiful body contour of the GT, just my opinion, not hating on anyone's GTC.

But then, I dislike the tail lights on the second and third gen GT's also... So you can imagine which one in your photo I love !

I actually didn't even park next to it on purpose, on the right side of me is a cinderblock wall, so 1/2 the chance of door dings. It wasn't until I got out and saw the "B" on the wheels I even realized I parked next to a GTC. It looked every bit of a generic Lexus with that bland paint job and square rear end.

Thanks British! Neptune is on the list, as is Sapphire Blue (just need to see the sapphire in person, in direct light). If the sapphire is too dark ill pass on it as I really want a blue car after 25 years of white cars.

Im with you Johnny on the convertible....some people love them, some dont. Im in the later camp. Had a convertible 911 back in the day and ditched that thing as soon as I could.

The lighting is bad, it's not a dark paint.

I think like you. Cabrios, with a few exceptions, I don't like as much as coupes. The same goes for subsequent generations of Bentley, I don't like the second-generation taillights as much, the third-gen ones, and the headlights I love. What is clear is that the second generation has a more modern multimedia equipment and the third even more

Agree - I like the Gen 1 hardtop cars the best.

Looks like Portland to me. I think the color is named after Portland cement, so it's kind of cement colored.

I'd hope Portland stone rather than the less glamorous, although accurate, cement
