You don’t have to drop £120,000 on a new car for it to possess the road presence of a Bentley, explains motoring editor Peter Carroll.
The canny buyer can opt for an alternative which will offer very nearly as much stature and style as the Winged B from Crewe - for a fraction of the price!
Scroll through our gallery to find out how you can save thousands of pounds by choosing vehicles which have a similar look, or features, to better-known brand names.
Nobody is suggesting that car manufacturers have deliberately set out to copy rival vehicles - it’s merely that certain cars share similar profiles or characteristics.
And while it’s possible for drivers to save thousands of pounds by opting for a cut-price alternative, note that it’s sometimes better to stick with the more expensive product as it will offer better value in the long run.

Peter what are you on about, it looks nothing like the Volvo, its more like a Toyota Corolla T Sport.
I think the only thing the 300C has in common with the Bentley is rarity. In my view the 300C (or Dodge Magnum - same car) looks nothing like a Bentley. As for holding its resale value better than a 5-Series, that probably says more about the 5-Series and the step backward from the previous model - M5 excepted.
