Since it looks like the Flying Spur and GT will share both the Continental name and architecture, I decided to proactively merge the articles as the "Bentley Continental". I put a bit of Flying Spur content in, but more will undoubtedly be coming soon. --SFoskett 19:22, Jan 24, 2005 (UTC)

In one of the Nike "LeBrons" ads, a Continental GT is seen. Does LeBron James own this car? --Rigist 02:21, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wistful Thinking?!
As in - BS. The article says that a Flying Spur, which it in other places calls a re-badged tricked-out VW Phaeton, is the fastest 4-door saloon, and the Continental GT set a world record?!? With a 550 hp engine on a car with bad drag coefficients and a 2385 kg (5258 lb) curb weight?! STOCK?!?! Even if we kick cars like top-of-the-line production Japanese 4-door racecars and the BWM M3 by calling them compacts, there's still the BMW M5, with 505 bhp and a 1,830 kg (4,034 lb) curb weight, which is definitely not a compact and definitely faster, as it can hit 330 km/h WITHOUT driving on ice, without a world champion behind the wheel. No Brabus rockets, no one-time one-car tunings at the plant - just a typical conveyor-built car has been documented to beat it, people. Suggest heavy editing by someone knowledgeable in Bentleys (as in, what it can do, vs. the bs radar that is the limit of my abilities here). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aadieu (talk • contribs) 14:50, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
