Car Blogging

The editor of Jalopnik uses evocative words to engage his readers with a post titled Bentley v. Rolls: Battle for the Upper-Crustiest.
Like the Maharaja of Gwalior, neither Rolls-Royce nor Bentley are under the command of the British Empire these days (they’re owned by BMW and VW, respectively). Still, their brand names continue to evoke imagery of kings named George or Edward gesturing toward cheering throngs. Fittingly, European Car picked the English countryside as a proving ground to compare the courtly Rolls with the hooligan-in-a-waistcoat Bentley Continental GT. Apparently the cars are as spectacular as one would assume from their multi-triple-digit price tags and long histories as vehicles of distinction. We love the Anglophonic descriptions of the Rolls trundling along swimmingly and the Continental gurgling devilishly under power. Godspeed to the both.
In the world of auto journalism brands, Jalopnik is our pick for car blog name of the year—easily beating the pedestrian AutoBlog and, believe it or not, The Truth About Cars.
