Old Bentley Arnage R was 540 cm long, Arnage RL was 564 cm. Height 152 cm. This made them considerably smaller than Rolls-Royce Phantom - height 163 cm, length 583 cm for SWB, 608 cm for LWB. And considerably cheaper, too. Phantom was rather comparable to Maybach - height 158 cm, length 572 cm for Maybach 57, 617 cm for Maybach 62.
The new Rolls Ghost is much smaller - length 540 cm, like Arnage R and shorter than Arnage RL. The Ghost, at 155 cm height, is 3 cm high than Arnage R, wider and a bit more expensive - but much cheaper than Phantom.
What is the size range of Bentley Grand - smaller than Arnage and Ghost, equal in size, slightly bigger, or considerably bigger in the range of Phantom and Maybach?

Why are they BMW's?
Think Global. It's the world we live in.

all British...right? Wrong. We'll soon have nothing left, that is if we already don't.

I think, apart from Morgan, the only other British owned car company is the one that makes London Taxis,
Lti
.
Rolls Royce (licensed to use name) = BMW
Mini = BMW use the name but current the Mini is a BMW
Bentley (the original RR/Bentley factory) = VW
Jaguar/ Land Rover/ Range Rover = Tata Motors, India
Aston Martin - Owned by multinational investors including Ford
TVR = dead (purchased by kid Russian oligarch and closed)
Lotus = Proton (Malaysian)
In the car world, constant development and progress is required. A 'If it ain't broke don't fix it' mentality is a sure fire recipe for disaster. I see a similar thing happening in some modern US cars. Quality and progress is everything in the world of cars. Fail in either and you have a liability on your hands that may tarnish your image for years, if not terminally.
