TO THE POINT What's New? The newest upgrades to the Bentley Arnage are round headlights, a revised bonnet line, and a choice of grilles. Inside, ergonomics have been improved, secondary controls are now hidden under panels, new instruments and a DVD satellite navigation system have been added, and Bentley will dress the car in your choice of 40 colors and 27 leather options.
Selling Points: Exclusivity and myriad ways to customize it to specific tastes
Deal Breakers: Price of entry is excessively high, lacks the latest technologies and luxuries

2006 Bentley Arnage R

The stiffer-than-expected ride is the first clue that the Bentley Arnage R is a driver's car and the first hard corner reiterates that. For such a big sedan, the Arnage holds its own in the corners displaying slight understeer when pushed. Brakes are soft and don't offer the kind of feedback I prefer, but communication through the thick wood-and-leather steering wheel is great and the Pirelli P-Zero tires, along with changes to the spring, damper and bushing rates, offer occupants an improved ride comfort. The Arnage rides on a double wishbone suspension both front and rear.
