God, I want one
The Continental GT is touted as a 2+2, but as is usually the case with supercars in this segment, the back seats are more an afterthought than an actual functioning part of the car. But, really, do you care about the back seats when you're driving a Bentley Continental GT? Um, no. They will be the farthest thing from your mind, trust me.

I learned almost immediately what it meant to drive a car of a different caliber, to drive a car in another stratosphere both on a price level and a quality level. (Photo: Sébastien D'Amour/Auto123.com)

A few years ago I drove a Bentley Continental GT Speed. That was my first introduction to the brand, and what an introduction it was. I learned almost immediately what it meant to drive a car of a different caliber, to drive a car in another stratosphere both on a price level and a quality level. And I was in love from the moment my finger brushed the start/stop button. It was a short-lived affair, but one I hoped to relive again. Driving the 2012 Bentley Continental GT brought those feelings rushing back, and while this affair was even shorter-lived, it was just as hot and steamy and I can't wait for the next encounter.

Thanks are in order to Decarie Motors, the kind purveyor of these dream cars.
