The styling is definitely more old school and refined. It is by no means a sporty car. This is for the old money types and older, insanely successful professionals, whereas the Continental is more for the young Hollywood movie star set. I think both a nice looking cars for what they are.

Bowtie guy, the Bently's TT V8 has a ton of torque. Peak HP numbers only tell about 1/4 of the story. And 0-60 in 5.2 is high performance for a luxury land-yacht weighing north of 5000 lbs, whereas the Cobalt SS weighs under 3000 and is actually aerodynamic. I really cringe whenever people here think pricing should be solely tied to HP or 0-60 times.
