TBH, if I was waking up to a girl who looked like her every morning, I'd already be pretty pleased...the 50 goals and a rank Bentley would just be the icing on the cake.

Personally think its a hideous looking turd of a car that is cashing in on the premiership footballer style "new money" generation of douche bags - It'll sell well. Interior looks very nice though and I bet it'll motor well with that drive train in place. Place your bets on whether this will be the first diesel Bentley in time

I was about to make a tirade and noticed your post which is pretty much what I wanted to say.

I actually preferred the looks of the EXP 9F, this is just bland and bulbous and utterly un-Bentley. W12 engine too, how did I guess...

As for the "undisclosed high-speed test location", that'd be Ehra-Lessien I presume...
Agreed, wants me to get a Turbo R even more now.

Looks like an Audi/VW from the outside (ignore the grill, I'm talking the basic profile of the vehicle).

How do you pronounce the name?

I really like it, only bit I'm not keen on is the rear as don't like the chrome round the lights and number plate area.

Well...i cant quite believe I'm going to say this.....

but..

I quite like it :s

It's quite a lot more rakish in profile that I was expecting, so it looks...to me...for a SUV....almost...elegant.

It's a bit blingy and worryingly I can almost see how much it must share with the recent new Q7.....

but...as for the general 'shape' of it...I like it!

I agree. I like how they have managed to do well with their styling.

I just think it's like making the nice saloon they do fit a niche. Does anyone need a SUV Bentley when the saloon will do the job better?

People will not even drive an SUV over a small kerb on our roads nowadays as it might damage the £500 each 21 inch alloys. never mind taking it off road.

It seems just down to having the most metal for your car, and then making it prestige over the next door neighbour who also wants a load of car for the money.

Great, but it's nothing to do with the driving experience is it? It's showing us money earnt and feeling good about it.

Fantastic power plant, sublime interior, hideously ugly exterior.

FFS, it's bad enough Bentley feeling the need to make an SUV, but atleast make one that is a little more pleasant on the eye.

I'm sure it's a capable machine and will have some road presence, but that front end...

Just to add my thoughts for what they're worth...
They look a lot better in a different colour... Extreme silver or storm grey... Even sequin blue.

It is VERY impressive off road, more so than any of you seemingly are expecting.

It is so quick, feels epic at pretty much any speed.

Retro-design is fine, but the '59 Studebaker Lark as the design image vehicle?!

WTF? Are you suggesting that they look very similar?

And neither does she.

Let's face it, if he wasn't a footballer, she wouldn't be with him (yes, I know they were childhood 'sweethearts') he would be probably gracing the corner of his local council estate, hanging out with his mates, which brings me neatly to what I was going to say, which was I wonder how long it will be until one of these turns up on a council estate near you?
Someone will probably be able to gauge that for me by remembering how long it took the first Range Rover Sports to do so......

At least it's not quite as ugly as the hideous Infiniti "Nissan Patrol" QX!



Which is a pig ugly monster in real life (sadly I'm seeing too many here in Russia along with every other tasteless piece of ste SUV wealthy Russians can clog up the roads with!)

The Bentley will fit in well here!
