Review: 2012 Bentley Continental GTC [w/video]
Updated Droptop Doesn’t Compromise Driving Dynamics For Fresh Air And Sunshine
Few experiences equal the feeling of driving a new 2012 down a crowded Los Angeles highway – especially when the droptop is prismatic magenta with highly polished 21-inch wheels.
Some stare. Others glare. But most simply sneer.
The response should be expected. After all, a vehicle of this caliber is designed to broadcast to others that you have succeeded. Unfortunately, this specific boisterously purple quarter-million dollar convertible with flashy wheels takes things a bit too far: it also seems to remind passers-by that they have failed.
But let’s not blame for someone’s misguided selection on the color wheel. A mere 30 microns of pigment over perfectly primed aluminum, whether or not it appears related to Barney the dinosaur, isn’t reason to dismiss this magnificent open-top GT.
Or is it?
