I'll be honest. I was going to talk today about the Bentley Azure, but when I went to Bentley's website to aquire their published performance figures, I stumbled upon a flash advertisement for their new grand Bentley. I've mentioned before how odious I find websites that force their own soundtrack upon the viewer, but I suppose in this instance I clicked "watch" so I'll just have to lump it. My complaint is that the soothing piano and violin was clipping the entire length of Bentley's pitch about soul and craftsmanship. It wasnt as if I had my little laptop speakers turned up too high either, the music was routed through a marginally impressive surround sound system (impressive in the sense that I can impress my music upon the neighbors, audiophiles would probably roll their eyes and go back to reading amperage specifications for some new 1300 dollar cd player). Bentley, did no one proof the ad before you published it?
Secondly, I spent a good minute waiting to drool over some picture of the promised British luxury masterpeice. At the end of it all, there are two shots available. This one:
And a close up profile shot of the hood ornament. Is that all the designing you have done on the car? I feel duped and irritated, so I'm going to save raving about the Azure and how its clearly superior to the Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe for when I can get past Bentley's advertising blue-balls.
