I think it is the world's fastest 4 door sedan (at least abstracting the kustom units), so that's reason enough for me. As well, while looks are of course subjective, I prefer the Bentley looks to the Masserati

Here in Toronto, nobody even glances over when a Bentley passes by, it's very conservative which I like, kind of like the CL-Class Mercedes.

The fact the Maserati is way cheaper than the Bentley would edge me towards it.

I also think the Mas is a much cooler car, the Bentley is a real geezer mobile.

Of those two, I would certainly pick the Bentley.

Im not a large car person though. I would much rather have an SUV and a sports car instead of one of those cars...

For the price of that Bentley, I could get a new X5 and 335. Id rather have those two in the stable...

I'd love to own either, but based on sound and aesthetics, I would go for the Maserati. But as earlier referenced, if I could actually car shop in this price range, it would be Aston Martin, baby, hands down!

Maserati has style and performance. Bentley is performance only.

+1 however, if the Aston Martin was a choice, that would be it!

Bentley is much much nicer inside and looks better outside IMO. But the Maserati is a lot cheaper. 05 Q's are going for under $90k and new 06 loaded for around $100k or less. Honestly I'd pick up a used 05 DB9 for $120k if i didn't need 4 seats in a GT.
