Ben Tiger?

Bent Tiger?

Ex-squeeze me, baking powder?

Bentley WO sounds good to me.

The W for the possible engine and the O for off-road and the whole title at least having relevance to the history of the marque.

Ps I am sure if I was in advertising I would be worth millions and I don't even have a coke habit to sustain!

Not bad for a sports saloon, but not for fashion victim fodder like an SUV... too disrespectful towards the great man himself.

Bentayga is a perfect name for the type of person who will buy this.

"oh yes put it in the Bentaygaaaaah darrrrling"...

Actually thought the thread title was a joke or a play on the fact that many customers may be Russian (well not nowadays perhaps, more likely to be Lada Ladaygas suiting the state of the economy)

It's not a joke? God, it certainly is one.

[skyrover]

No L or R in Chinese alphabet

Makes perfect sense

[Gettoff]

They've probably just given it an utterly ridiculous name so people concentrate on that and forget that its a bit of a muntertank.

[McFist]

I rarely post on these forums, but I feel compelled to log in just to take the time to say that thing looks absolutely vile.

[DonkeyApple]

Oh deary me. What an abject disaster crossed with a total farce. The chaps over at Rangie Central must have near shat themselves laughing at this monstrous and comical challenge to their top spot.

[Malachimon]

The rear end needs work, it looks a tad bland

[Haggleburyfinius]

ooooh there's gonna be some rumbling from the old farts down at BDC HQ haha.

anyone know how much this thing is gonna cost?

Looks like a black cab in that disguise to me. Silly name to boot.

Can I have a glass or hookah full of what you've been having, please? To suggest that the G65 AMG and LM 002 are from the VAG stable is a racy statement, to say the least. You are however correct to suggest there are not many LM002s out there.

No, I was just listing all the 12 cyl SUV's that have ever been created. Of the 5 I can think of, 3 of them have a VAG badge.

And what with Lambo being a VAG brand these days, there is a tenuous link for a 4th example with the LM002.

[Field Gunner]

Is the name deliberately awful to distract from the way it looks?

[Vanin]

Perhaps it should be called "The Bentley Speed Bump" as that is probably the main thing it will be asked to negotiate.

This could be shortened to a useful alliteration of " The Bentley Bump" which is very descriptive!

[TWPC]

So after 5 pages of ranting, I think we can conclude that the name suits the vehicle almost perfectly.

[Bladedancer]

This is shaping to be uglier than Fiat Multipla.
Footballers will love it though.

[Smitters]

This is a yardstick for the shameful position humanity has arrived at. It's utterly dreadful, yet people our children admire will end up buying it and further perpetrating the awfulness.

It has literally no redeeming features to my eyes, other than being a good bit of mechanical engineering.

British jobs and exports?

[Dusty964]

It will create huge demand from certain parts of the planet, keeps people in jobs, not to mention no doubt creating a great deal more.
Hardly fair to judge it on the picture posted really, completely disguised.
Like it or lump it, its a fast growing market for this and others or its ilk, and as per Porsche, will no doubt be massively profitable to allow development of further models, and safeguard the current ones.

A resounding thumbs up from me.
