Wow...that interior cabin is stunning!

I would love to be able to slide behind the wheel of that on a daily basis...

While it is beautiful, I don't see it as a rival to the F-Type.

The Bentley is a luxury two-seater, while the F-Type is a pure sports car (albeit a slightly heavy one). I don't see much cross-shopping between the two. I think their target market would be more along the lines of MB SL63 buyers. Plus I don't see this going for $100k...

Right now, it's a concept, but if they build it close to that, it will be considerably more than $100K.

Agreed, exactly my point. This is not a $100k car and therefore not an F-Type "competitor".

The interior is Bentley, but that pretty face is Aston

The good thing is that at about a year old the resale price will come down to F-Type resale prices and I'll be able to put one in the collection.

That is a very beautiful thing, more than a little Ian MaCallum influence in that design
