Bentley Continental Flying Spur / VW Phaeton interior comparison

As you may know, 2005 and 2006 Flying Spurs were built alongside the Phaeton in Dresden.  So how similar are these two cars?  The biggest difference is the engine.  American Phaetons came with 4.2 liter V8s or normally aspirated 6.0 liter W12s.  The Bentley came with a twin turbo 6.0 liter W12.

But looking at the interiors, the layouts are virtually identical.  It's just that the Bentley has a lot more leather and chrome.  I've gathered some interior pictures of the four-seat models of the Bentley and the VW as well as saabkyle04's comprehensive videos of each car.
