New Bentley Arnage Expected at Pebble Beach in August

Bentley is surely growing tired of watching its top clientele crossing the road to Rolls-Royce and Maybach dealerships – not too tired, mind you, with the success of the Continental range – but it's not about to rush into things. According to the latest reports, the replacement for the aging top-of-the-line Arnage won't begin production until a year after they're done with the current model, now in its final edition and pictured above. That won't stop the exclusive British automaker from showcasing the new flagship limousine at the upcoming Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in August, however, as reports indicate that Bentley will debut the new saloon there. And when it does, we're expecting something bigger, faster and even more luxurious than the model it replaces.

What Your Car Says About You

Why would someone buy a Bentley Arnage instead of a Rolls Royce Phantom? How about a Chevrolet Corvette vs. a Ferrari F430? Or a Lexus LS 460 over a BMW 7-series? As we do with our clothes, hobbies and careers, we define ourselves through our vehicles in some way or another -- yes, even the Honda Accord owner -- and it never ceases to fascinate. That's why a recent article in Forbes outlining what our cars say about us caught our attention.

Forbes went out and interviewed loads of PR guys from various automakers, poured through studies about typical owners of a particular brand and model, and stirred in a little stereotyping to come up with gems like these:

-Bentley Arnage owners are likely self-made, more interested in rewarding themselves and staying anonymous, unlike owners of the Rolls Royce Phantom, who want to stand out in a crowd.

-Aston Martin owners are also self-made and discreet. According to a company spokesperson, Aston Martin owners are "the sort of people who would prefer to wear the designer brand on the inside rather than the outside."

-Unlike owners of other SUVs, Jeep Wrangler drivers actually go off-road.

-96 percent of Dodge Viper owners are men, they enjoy to drive, and they want to beat every other car out on the road.
