RE: Bentley Bentayga: Driven

[T16OLE]

I'm not normally one to moan about look when plenty of other are, but that is absolutely horrific!

Beautiful interior but probably the ugliest new car I've seen for as long as I can remember

I'm guessing it's basically for the Chinese market

[poing]

Well, that's fking hideous.

[Cheib]

The most ludicrous vehicle on sale today.

[sealtt]

Interesting to compare the Bentayga to the Range Rover, especially the interior which is where Bentley's key advantage surely must be.










I don't think the Bentley has much chance outside though...

Steady on, dinner first or at the very least a few drinks.

Love reading all the negative comments and not one bit of constructive criticism. I think it fits the Bentley DNA very well, have any of you stood next to a 1930s Le Mans Bentley? Ettore Bugatti didn't call them the fastest trucks in the world for nothing! So much ignorance on PH these days.

Actually I have stood next to a 20's Le Mans Bentley. Other than the badge I can't think of anything that links the two cars.

[Ali2202]

That is awful. Droopy, sad and with no charisma. WTF Bentley! A design-team that that couldn't make up their mind ???




So.... change the 'Gawp-Faced Nasel-Snout' on below and you actually have a winner!......

Truly awful

[Zumbruk]

Ugly, stupid, vile, pointless demonstration that some people have way too much money and no taste whatsoever.

That whirring sound you can hear is WO Bentley spinning in his grave.

It's not ignorance, it's taste.

Only way to describe this is as a total piss take.

I wouldn't say it's ugly, just very dull and boring. If you are going to make a big brash ostentatious display of wealth and let's face it, that's exactly what this is, at least have the balls to do it properly. This just looks a Bentley car on stilts, very unoriginal and non-descript.

Still I suspect just the name and the fact that it costs so much will have oligarchs and our rich middle-eastern friends salivating, soon to be "seen" cruising up and down the King's Road.

Even if it is ugly as, and costs a fortune, who cares if it keeps people in the UK employed and helps the balance of trade? I hope they sell like hotcakes.

I reckon that a 5 year old will be worth less than 50K, and that 187mph quoted top speed is likely to be suicidal unless you're lapping the bowl at Millbrook.

who would have thought they will make the exp9f even worse

Sunshine pack: For customers likely to drive the Bentayga in sunny conditions

Will there be some customers who intend only to drive when there is cloud cover?

I can see this being the next car of the family that own the caravan site behind my shop. They have a flying spur just now so it's not too much of a leap.

Sounds ideal for shifting the 'vans around the yard!

[FWDRacer]

You can hear the belly laughing just outside Gaydon.

Bravo Bentley. Bravo.

[epom]

Aside from the terrible front, I think its exactly as was expected. If you are in the market for something like that then its perfect. I'm not. I'd prefer a more run of the mill Cayenne diesel myself.

[deltashad]

It's not as ugly as it could have been. Still pretty horrible though.
I quite like the idea of using one of these to do the Christmas shopping in, with a driver who doesn't mind double parking and plenty of champers to drink.

There are other uses too. Rugby internationals, lavishly tailored boot space with a decent selection of whisky.

I think it works with alcohol and occasions.

[ChemicalChaos]

Jesus Christ.

Did everyone really nod sagely when the designer brought out the sketches for that overly fussy, wilfully ostentatious gopping turd?

Still, I'm sure Wilmslow will love it....

[paul205mi16turbo]

Looks like a Peugeot 3008.. but uglier!
