Comparison: the old Mulsanne versus the new

Two days ago, Bentley, the skin behind the ears of the Muslanne what to the rear. But what did that matter?

About taste not argue, but let us not, of course, stop to do so. To the discussion itself, but once going; on a scale of 1 to 10, where ” 10 ” stands for a successful lift, and the ‘1’ for a Mickey Rourke, this is still quite a 3.3.

Diagonally from the front: The new front leads the way.

Although many people are not a fan of the what bulky nose of the Mulsanne in 2010, I found myself the nose lots of character and ‘presence’ have, exactly as the heurt in a Bentley. With its aggressive snout, was it also still a bit sporty to be called. Well, sporty in the same way that you can say about that giant ‘Blower Bentley’s’ that Le Mans dominated in classical antiquity.

Now, however, it seems Bentley, perhaps driven by the criticism, the ‘in your face’ design a bit to want to soften it. The most striking change are the vertical bars that the grille, which to me is a bit corny do. More Rolls-Royce than a Bentley, only with a Roller, it fits better because you expect to find, and because the bars tend to be more impressive. No, just give me the ‘chicken wire’ of the previous. The bars and walk to the bottom of the bumper, and pause, therefore, the mischievously smiling wide ‘face’ of the pre-lift variant. Once again, no improvement what concerns me.

Side: Find the differences, we can’t find them.

But are there also advantages? Yes, the two of snazzy light rings with led’s to look more modern and better than before, especially that of the smaller, outer round light. Was a bit sloppy in a circle placed leds in which three points is interrupted. That was more Halfords than craftsmanship from Crewe, but perhaps with the help of some expertise of group-enjoyed Audi’s LED the kings staring now two neat, solid circles. The lights are thus fully in line with, for example, the Bentayga. The changes to the rest of the car are subtle. For the sake of completeness:

Obliquely from the rear: Snazzy new leds in the form of the Bentley-B’, just as if you Bentayga.

Interiors: The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Overall this lift to me, not entirely convincing. Let us know what your unsalted opinion in the comments.
