Its camouflage.. not a very good one though imo lol Bentley(now owned by VW) and Rolls Royce(now owned by Bowel Movement or BM) were owned by Jaguar who is owned by Ford so the Bentley is actually a gussied up Lincoln Continental or as some might say and upscale Ford Focus ZX5 LOL!! JK

Hahaha let's hope you're kidding!
The Continental name has been around for a while, and for the grille...let's hope it's crappy camo because it is a direct Benz ripoff.
One thing, the Continental name has always been for coupes (maybe they anticipated it and named the new one the Continental GT so they could make a sedan). This is one of my all time favorites though, the older Bentley Continental R

Don't worry guys Bentley isn't stooping that low! 
Theirs just not done with the design yet, needed to do some real world R&D and figured the Camo would fool non-car enthusiast(IMO they were wrong though lol), who are the majority, and that it would be less conspicuous than the usual wrap the car in leather or rags camo lol!BTW you're right about the continental name. I think its a good name actually and does hold some prestige.. I dont think it should be relegated by the Public to the Lincoln Continental when it was used in other cases for quite some time as with the last gen Bentley you posted

Thats a good way to blow out all those un-sold Phaetons. LOL
I said all along the Phaeton (or bentley equivilant) makes a ton more sense in every way. Also I think the idea of a 5000 lb car works better with 4-doors and a real back seat. Not that the Conti coupe isn't selling like hot cakes.

Thats not the real design. They made it mimic an S-Class to confuse people during testing. Im sure the real version will be stunning. I can't wait to see it.
