Am I wrong for wanting this?

No. But it is wrong that you you brought it to my attention and now I want it.

I would venture to guess that it delivers just about the same mpg as the Veg-benz.

Edit: I just looked up the mpg. It is obscene!
If you baby it you can actually get double digit mpg, but only if you baby it.
A new concept of hypermilling to get 10 mpg.

In reply to jrw1621:

It's a freaking Bentley Turbo R! I'm surprised it doesn't run on baby seals. Still, for under $11k buy in gas isn't so expensive yet that it couldn't be a daily driver - figure around $50-75 per week depending on how long the commute is.

I want it too. I don't even think that the drive back from Iowa be unpleasant.

Wow, even I want that.

Mmmmm Bentley Cocaine, so tastey and totally the wrong car for me and my lifestyle, but still sooo Hot.

That'd be nice, until I had to change the oil.

Edit: the filter is 6.20 at rock auto

I want one.

The EPA list milage at 9 City, 12 Highway Premium. Cost for driving 25 miles, $9.50.

I don't think you are supposed to ask about fuel economy if you are buying a Bentley.

If wanting that is wrong, then I dont want to be right.

That's pretty slick

Hmmm, I wonder why I smell brake fluid, leather,ozone, and burned electric wire insulation?

QFT

It was not that long ago that the Turbo R was in the nosebleed section of the price spectrum.. now you can get a clean one for less than the price of a cheap new car

No engine pictures, and what are the green and white bottles inside their own little panel?

Tire slime. I don't think that the R comes with a spare tyre

Yes, Bentleys use "tyres" which are about 4x the cost of tires.

I think that might be brake fluid. Don't they use a liquid mined from mars for brake fluid?

I would swap out the wheels, they look kinda Tempo for a Bentley.

mmmmmm

It's a Turbo R Turbo R. Most others are only Turbo Rs. But this one is a Turbo R Turbo R according to the ad. Kinda like going to 11.

I guess I will be the negative one. Dull, boring styling on the outside. An interior that, while a bit more opulent is still garish enough to remind me of a chinese restaurant. Switches and controls in the dash that make the crap in a 70's Jag look modern, single digit mpg and having to put up with grey poupon jokes at every stop light.

No thanks. Not for me.

No engine pix?

needs more diesel

Am I the only one that thinks I would feel like a chauffeur driving it? Either that or I'd expect someone to stop and ask me for Grey Poupon at random times.
