It easily looks as good and more elegant than a Range Rover does.

I think you are in the minority with that statement. I think the new RR looks great. I crawled all over this Bentley at Goodwood just over a year ago. It is very impressive on the inside, but it is, to use a technical term, minging on the outside.

[Countersteer]

I'm unconvinced and I think it cheapens the marque. Do Bentley really need to compete in this market?

[MycroftWard]

I can see why Bentley and other premium car brands do these SUV's, they seem to be what a certain type of person with money wants to own. But my god the concepts look ugly as. Good luck to them, not for me though.

Bentley, you need to take a read of this, look at the voting response, and bin the concept before it drags you under.

Indeed. I bet at least 166 of those 167 won't be able to afford one, so no worries for Bentley.

I could afford twenty of those Bentley things. I just choose to drive around in an increasingly knackered diseasel A6 'cos I'm a cheapskate ok?

PH definitely aren't part of the target demographic for land yachts like this.

It's just awful! It's making me feel quite nauseous just looking at the pictures. It seems reminiscent of one of those hideous '70s, 'parts bin' kit cars imho.

I can imagine the big Lambo now in bright orange

You mean like the LM002..

Looks like a Hummer

T'other way round if anything.

Hummer was from 92 onwards.

LM002 was from 86, which was an evolution of the Cheetah from the 70s.

Lambo definitely got there first

Lambo '86
Hummer '92

so it would be the other way round.

Fairy nuff.

Just out of curiosity, what SUV's do you think look good?

The latest RR isn't too bad and the Q7 is good looking and the Lexus RX450h is really quite smart. The Bentley is clearly trying too hard, there's something gone badly wrong with the exterior design . . . I'd probably really enjoy driving it and it'll be a great car to own but the looks simply don't do the engineering justice.

But then again, I like the Morris Marina Coupe

whilst i realise all will not agree - the first glimpse reminded me of this - back light and chrome treatment !

[hi court]

Banging, cant wait to trade in my conti gt and l405 for one, oh wait that massa looks ten times better, Would like to see some up to date pics on the bentley before making any decisions

[TaylotS2K]

Looks like the person who designed the SsanYong Rodeo penned the exterior. I like the interior though.

[can't remember]

I think it looks magnificent in the true meaning of the word. The interior (apart from the saddle hide on the dash,option it in royal blue)looks like a really nice place to be.

Perfect. Shame I'm not in the market for anything like it and ,even if I was, I couldn't afford it.

"There's a number of powertrains in consideration for it and it might be that it starts with one engine and we add two of three more fairly soon afterwards."

I can see two engines working: one in the front & one in the back. But where would they put the third one?

Not a very good reflection of the taste of people with plenty of money, is it?
