]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1037918_rolls-royce-ghost-goes-greenish http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1037918_rolls-royce-ghost-goes-greenish Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:16:00 -0500 Early last month, we reported on surprising rumors that less-than-green Bentley is developing a hybrid powertrain for 2011. Not wanting to be left out of all the eco-fun, Bentley's high-end rival, Rolls-Royce, now says that it's also working on a hybrid powertrain -- one for the new Rolls-Royce Ghost. There's no official drop date, but reports ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036802_what-does-your-car-say-about-you http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036802_what-does-your-car-say-about-you Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:15:00 -0400 Here at TCC, we don't put much faith in astrology, phrenology, or any other system that assigns personality traits based on birthdays, hat sizes, or anything else that hasn't been chosen. Instead, we prefer data that stems from personal preferences: what does your favorite color, website, or rock band say about you? The New Vehicle Experience ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036317_bentley-launches-new-possibly-hybrid-powertrain-in-2011 http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036317_bentley-launches-new-possibly-hybrid-powertrain-in-2011 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:01:00 -0400 Bentley isn't known for making gas-sippers. In fact, some of its current models rank among the least fuel-efficient in the country (down to the single digits). But that reputation may change a bit when Bentley launches its new, top-secret powertrain in 2011. There's speculation that the engine may be a hybrid and that it will be capable of ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034299_preview-2011-bentley-mulsanne http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034299_preview-2011-bentley-mulsanne Tue, 15 Sep 2009 06:00:00 -0400 •    What is it?

Enforcement, however, varies considerably. As we learned recently, in New York state, you can be arrested for driving an uninsured vehicle if you incur a moving violation in it that would otherwise net you just a traffic ticket. But it's a lot ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1022733_spy-shots-2010-bentley-arnage http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1022733_spy-shots-2010-bentley-arnage Thu, 30 Jul 2009 11:00:00 -0400 The 2010 "grand Bentley" that will replace the Arnage has been spotted by spy photographers over at our partner site, MotorAuthority.com. The new sedan is scheduled for a world debut at the 2009 Pebble Beach Concours next month, but several preview photos have been revealed--along with some pictures taken from deep within a Bentley ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1022499_yacht-comes-with-gps-cupholders-and-a-bentley-continental-gt http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1022499_yacht-comes-with-gps-cupholders-and-a-bentley-continental-gt Tue, 28 Jul 2009 09:38:00 -0400 Times are tough all over, and manufacturers are doing everything they can to lure customers into showrooms. Some offer toasters, some offer restaurant coupons, but if you're looking for the mack-daddy of promotions, look no further than Pearl Motors Yachts and its top-of-the-line Pearl 60. In addition to the prestige that comes with taking ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1022310_video-another-grand-bentley-teaser http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1022310_video-another-grand-bentley-teaser Mon, 20 Jul 2009 11:24:00 -0400 http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1022209_bentley-goes-all-craigslist-on-us http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1022209_bentley-goes-all-craigslist-on-us Wed, 15 Jul 2009 11:44:00 -0400 If you're having trouble finding the correct boot-lid badge for your Bentley--or any other part--the factory feels your pain. And they want to help. For two days, September 26 and 27, the storied marque is having what can only be called a garage sale. Or as the Brits might say, an autojumble. Bentley itself calls it a "one-off parts and ..]]> http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/bentley_continental-gt_2009 http://www.thecarconnection.com/fullreview/bentley_continental-gt_2009 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 23:32:00 -0400 2009 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT/GTC STYLING | [8 out of 10] Edmunds: "makes the Benz look even more like a frumpy Solara" Automotive.com: "more distinctive than that of those other more imposing, less elegant carriages" Car and Driver: "visual nirvana" Although the 2009 Bentley GT coupe and GTC convertible share quite a bit with the ...

The new sedan is set for a debut at the Pebble Beach Concours in August, and for sale next year. From the details shown in the photo, the new four-door's look bears some ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1022037_hitting-200mph-in-the-bentley-continental-gtc-speed-with-the-top-down http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1022037_hitting-200mph-in-the-bentley-continental-gtc-speed-with-the-top-down Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:01:00 -0400 Ever wondered what it might feel like to hit 200mph? Ever wondered what it might feel like in a convertible? With the top down? Of course you have. You probably haven't had the opportunity to live out that dream just yet, but at least one guy has--and he's done it in a Bentley Continental GTC Speed.

But, what color do you see in your mind? We're betting you don't see deep sky blue with white squiggles all over it, and a handful of really big red, pink, and orange flowers and ..]]>
