That thing is so amazing, and it just looks SO nice!

I think I actually prefer the 100EX, but I generally love the RR styling.

Bentley do need a convertible, but I think it should come in the form of a Continental GT, and not an Arnage.

Bentley Media Services have caught up with the world.

It's the Arnage one, so no need to. The Conti already shares one with the Phaeton, so I think that is enough VW in Bentley for now.

Looks great, I love the front, rear is ok. But I thought this is production? Or is it a concept?

Right now, they calling it a show car. IF there is enough interest, then the car will be ready by Spring 2006 (roughly the same time the Rolls Royce Convertible comes out!)

Why is VW so obsessed with weird two-tone paint schemes these days?

Not wierd. It's actually a very old technique used to accentuate some body lines, and/or to fool the eye into reducing the visible body mass of the vehicle (Making it appear leaner than it actually is). If done right (read: not a straight line dividing the car in upper and lower halfs) it can be quite appealing.

I had to say that really looks good with old-fashioned flying B badge on the front of Arnage Drophead which i didn't seen that badge for soo long on present Bentley cars. I hope this badge will return in some bentley cars in the future.
