It amazes me how this site still insists that the Flying Spur doesn't need its own category. How is a 4-door luxury sedan the same thing as essentially a 2-door convertible GT car (Continental convertible). Don't say something stupid like a Flying Spur is only a Continental with 4 doors.

If you want to wrongly go that route, then the Bentley Brooklands and the Bentley Mulsanne are the same car too. Same engine. One is just a 4-door version of the other. And those rightfully do have distinct categories.

So what's it gonna be? Or do the Admins just not care about this site anymore to recognize exotics properly.

Several things:
1. The Flying Spur was actually branded as the Continental Flying Spur from 2005-2013.
2. The Mulsanne and Brooklands are actually massively different, considering the fact that their production never overlapped, they look exactly nothing alike, and the Brooklands is a limited edition model.
3. There also were Brooklands and Mulsanne models that were made before the ones from the past decade.
4. Complaining about it on the forum does nothing.

Though we honestly could use a category, it would just be another thing for people to confuse.

1. The Flying Spur was actually branded as the Continental Flying Spur from 2005-2013.
... Regardless of what its name was in the past, the sedan is officially legally named a Flying Spur since 2013, hence it needs a category.

2. 2. The Mulsanne and Brooklands are actually massively different, considering the fact that their production never overlapped, they look exactly nothing alike, and the Brooklands is a limited edition model.
... These 2 cars look nothing alike? Look at the rears and fronts of the newer ones. Even the interiors are very similar. And they both use the same engine.

3. There also were Brooklands and Mulsanne models that were made before the ones from the past decade.
... What does that have to do with the topic at hand? We're talking about categories needed for current cars. Not from past generations.

4. Complaining about it on the forum does nothing.
... Why do people always say someone is "complaining" when they all they did was bring up a valid point that they don't agree with? I'm not complaining. Fine by me if this site doesn't care about these issues (which, being an exotics site, it should care). But it is the main reason I don't visit this site as often or post pics on it. I generally stay away for long periods of time, and periodically check in if I see something I like. There is so much wasted potential in this site. Anyways, I've said what I wanted to say. I'm out!

The only reason it's not called a Continental now is because Bentley is trying to create the illusion that the two cars are not the same.

They aren't alike at all. If you were to compare a Brooklands to a Azure or Arnage, then I'd see your point.

Because bringing this up, and creating it's own forum topic (when there are category suggestion topics elsewhere in the forum) is essentially complaining that we don't have a category for the car. But, if you want anything done on this site, the forum is not the place to do it. Message the mods, that's really the only way you're likely to ever see this come to fruition.

OK, thanks. But I wasn't about to spend the time to look through all the forum topics just to find it. Whenever I log in, I spend a minute or two looking at the exotics that interest me then I move along with my day. I'm not going to spend more time than that on a site where Admins don't even acknowledge user suggestions on the forums. Essentially, that what forums are for. Oh well.

If this website is 'so bad' why do you come on it? And the only thing I see you do on this website is complain about categories.. I'm not saying we don't need some of these categories, but no need to complain about it all the time. Obviously it's not helping anyone.

Why keep complaining when you already know nothing is going to happen? Why waste your time? I'm sure your life is no different because there isn't an unnecessarily more specific category for a boring luxury car.

yeah, I have stopped, but I will mention it sometimes just to make sure it doesn't completely die in case they do decide to
