When will bentley make a contendor for the Phantom?

Or atleast something on par.





And is it true that the only real threat AS OF NOW to a phantom is the buyer?|||The new Azure comes close, but it's still about 70k cheaper than a Phantom and 100k less than the Drophead coupe. It also only has a V8 instead of a V12. So yes, I would say that the Phantom does not have a real threat from Bentley. Don't forget the Maybach 62 however, which has the same price as a Phantom and also has a V12.





I do see Bentley coming out with something to compete with the Phantom eventually. However, for the time being, Bentley doesn't *need* to compete with Rolls Royce. Bentley's models basically have the $150k-$350k luxury car market entirely to themselves. There is some competition in the form of Maserati/Mercedes towards the bottom of the range, and the Maybach 57 in the 350k range, but other than that, Bentley's got the market cornered. In fact I am 90% sure I read a quote from a Bentley executive stating that they intentionally price their models to fill empty market niches. I can't remember the source unfortunately. Anyways, now that Rolls is coming out with a Baby Phantom after 2010, Bentley will finally have some competition and may have to up the ante a little bit with a Phantom competitor.|||it already has but nt up to the mark the red label and the arnagel and arnage rl|||The Bently Arnage.
