    Thanks for the kind words. Very much appreciated it. This was a really trip cool but crazy long way to go for a car review. We're grateful that you watch.

    Hi Matt, thanks for the kind words about our video. We really appreciate it. BTW: On the tubes our videos get viewed 5 million times per month. That dwarfs the subscription of most, if not all, car magazine. That's pretty big in our humble opinion. Thanks for watching.

    Looks better than a Rolls Royce Ghost. This is my next dream ultra luxury sedan.

    I like how you're really humble it compares with other car reviewers that reviews bentleys, RRs, etc. Thanks for making these videos I love watching these for fun

    Why couldn't the Jaguar XJ go in this design direction instead of what they've done to the current XJ. British cars always looked so elegant and stately with the dual headlights & big grill.

    Just bought myself a beautiful Silver 2012 Range Rover HSE(no prev. owner). Great review, this car is next after the Wraith (ordered). So many good looking cars out there.

    How is the electric sunshade innovative? It was on an BMW 7 Series E65/66 a long time ago.

  • @carmcarm8230

    Good review but you should have done a bit of more of research, specially in China 95% of the owners drive their own car, even Rolls Royce.

    Will Bentley's effort to make this car less "two-door oriented" (aka: "not as sporty" and "more luxurious") cause it to cannibalize sales of similar Rolls Royce offerings?
    Thanks for the beautiful video of a pretty car in that exotic environment, Roman! Am appreciating your and Nathan's long-distance trips just to get shots of these new cars to us/your viewers first!!

  • @IKhanNot
    @IKhanNot 11 років тому +1

    Yeah the S Class is perfection for a little over $100k. It's brick shithouse solid, very well equipped, elegant, comfortable, quiet, refined, fast and it's actually athletic especially with the ABC component of the airmatic suspension. This Bentley is simply a status symbol, the S Class actually represents value when you come to think of it.

    Hy Mr Roman. Great videos,thumbs up for them ! I have a question...is there a chance that you will do a review of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz G 350 ? or the G 63 AMG ? I've watched a few reviews on that car and not one was helpfull and concludent for me. If you have time,please give me a reply. Thank you and best wishes !

  • @kevinmsft
    @kevinmsft 11 років тому

    Congrats on the huge viewership. Just to be fair, the car magazines' UA-cam channels also get huge numbers. That's just how Internet and UA-cam work since it's more accessible and free.

  • @brooksycc7
    @brooksycc7 11 років тому

    That is very impressive. Is that 5 million unique viewers or numerous repeats of the same subscribers on different videos? I'm just curious to see as a comparison if I were looking to start a sort of online presence in another subject, because what you guys do is pretty amazing.

    There is, however, a glaring omission- How fast will it go 0-60 at one mile altitude?

    6:35 that shifter gate was lifted straight form the parts bin at VW. I know they own Bentley, but I don't think it should share parts with a Volkswagen, but then again, you can't see that from the back seat! and as always great review!

    So Bentley flew you to China? What connections do you guys have to be able to test all these cars and have people fly you places? I love your videos, but here on the tubes you guys don't seem to have a huge viewer base, so just wondering.

    nah, thats a lie. Torque gives you the initial thrust at low rpm, HP is what gives you the accel at higher rpm. HP is roughtly torque times rpm. Diesel is high torque-low accel, vtec (or F1) is low torque-high accel. You gotta watch the EngineeringExplained channel to get the right facts.
