I don't know, it seems to me that the last decade when RR/Bentleys really stood out amongst the crowd was the 80s. Since then the unique styling that RR/Bentley were known for have now been relegated to the automotive history books. Now the current crop of RRs could easily pass for a Jag as someone mentioned or a Lincon Mark series as well as any number of unimpressive assembly line drones we see on our highways and byways. Case in point a rather unimpressive silver car passed me on the highyway today and looking at the name plate, I saw the famous Bentley wings on the trunk. I was shocked to see how common it looked (had a somewhat 'hatchback' design without the actual hatchback), I mean it could easily have been an Infinity or Lexus. Jeez, if you are going to shell out 100K+ for a car you want something that is eye catching, something unique.
