Bentley GT Continental is the ONLY "next thing" IMO.

My only 2 considerations when deciding to move from RRS were Overfinch FFRR and the GT......

I'm almost 100% its going to be the Overfinch FFRR

Kind of taken by one of these, anyone any info about them . .........

I think the biggest problem with them is that (assuming you care) everyone thinks you have bought one of these:

I like the lines of the Chrysler. If I had to part with the FFRR for reasons unknown I'd like to test drive one. The have a presence and an agressive stance which suggests there should be some balls hanging from the rear undercarriage

I don't unfortunately have Bentley money.

I have just bought a 2008 (new shape) Chrysler 300c 3.0 CRD V6 LUX which means very nice interior with huge seats and supple leather as well as wood finishings and amazing MyGig Sound/Sat Nav system with 20BG Hard Drive!

I am keeping it looking like it should look with all original grills etc but "May" have the wheels re-finished to replace the silver paint with black to match the paintwork. The Polished element of the wheels will remain. It has a really nice refined feel and superb ride with all the power you need at 7 second 0-60 and up to 35 mpg combined.

In Chrysler garb it is almost "Rare" and everybody want to know about it as it looks a lot more than its worth.

I would never try to make it look like a Bentley as the original car look just fab the way it is - just need to add my Private Plate

PS: Only 23k mls and full years Chrysler warranty

My alternative car would be an Audi RS6.

I can't see any manufacturer making a car like that in our bright green future.

Gazellio, when did they start putting black leather in the 300's?

I'd briefly looked at the 5.7 Hemi version but could only find grey leather ones, plus I wasn't keen on the interior build quality, the plastics seemed a bit on the cheap side. Have they improved them with the later models? 2006 Mercedes CLS
1991 Retro-style Mini
But really finding it hard to fight the urge for a S/C...

I agree the Grey Leather and <2007 cars are not that great inside.

From 2008MY (not all 2008 reg though so be careful) the 300c got an Exterior & Interior upgrade with the "LUX" model interior getting Black Leather and Real Wood Finishings that look and feel really very nice. It also got the MyGig Infotainment system as an option that I am very impressed with and have already uploaded tons of tracks from my Itunes collection (they need to be in mp3 format). Sound quality is amazing and the SAT NAV is good too.

It has a huge panoramic sunroof and massive boot too.

It is possible to buy a further wood kit to extend the "California Walnut" finishings to door handle plates and air con vents etc to further improve the upmarket feel.

Its also a very comfortable ride with an expensive limousine feel but also handles very well when asked. All in all I great option if you want something a little cheaper than the super RR.

I agree......left alone its a great car......just looks ridiculous and it cheapens it when people dress it up as a Bentley.
