X2, that was my first thought as well.

Horrendeous.

I find myself coming back to look at it again, even through it is ghastly; it's hard to not look at it because it is so hideous.

That's the sort of thing I'd expect the Chinese to come up with when they try to design their own car rather than copying something else already on the market. I guess that like Porsche did with the Cayenne, they feel they have to keep the front looking like a Bentley instead of creating something that looks good.

Just no. Not now. Not ever.

Are they stupid? Are they actually stupid? Not only are they launching a car such us this into a economically and environmentally sensitive world, they're suggesting that it could look like this abonimation. It looks like a one year old has dragged crayons through it's soiled nappy in a fit of rage!

and yet it will sell like hot cakes in China and Middle East!

The Arabs and Asians will lap this up!!!

Hint of Range Rover there.

Pass the eye bleach?

[OJ80]

It looks a lot like the Range Rover based Bentley Dominator they made mid-90s for someone in the middle east. But stter somehow...

What's going on with that line over the rear arches?

[alexpa]

That looks truly awful

[gumsie]

Wheels are crap but I do like the side profile.
Rear is even bigger, more overblown and shapless than a regular Bentley. Interior is Ok tho.

[OJ80]

This must be a first, a car that might(just might) look better once Mansory et al get hold of it...

[The Moose]

I bet that interior is a lovely place to be though.

[Beefmeister]

What.

The.

F**k.

Bentley have jumped the shark...

[Don1]

Range Rover rear, side flanks of a Vanquish and a face that even a mother couldn't love.

If this was a baby, I'd be putting nappies on its head.

[mackie1]

It has retro-thrusters?!

[Simond S]

Lose the ridiculous headlights, they just look tooo bling, and the weheels for something more sensible and i'd have one.

Doesnt actually look that tall to me, unless only chaps over 6 foot were invited to the launch.

Quite like it, but could never be used as anything but a bentley for bigger shopping trips with that interior. I love the concept of swapping the mats over to leather for the great outdoors, ignoring the fact you'll be sat on cream leather seats and holding a cream steering wheel!

[k-ink]

What a shiny turd

[Superhoop]

That makes me want to

It looks like someone has taken one part Audi Q7, one part RR and one part Conti GT, thrown them into a cement mixer, and this was the end result - And those wheels!!

And how lazy are the VW group? Unveiling of a new model/concept and they can't be bothered to set the wheels up so the Bentley B's are the right way up... Just sloppy

[stuckmojo]

Beats all my expectations of chavviness and ghastly design. it's a thing to behold. I can see the board of directors patting themselves on the back for this one.

I am sure Wayne and Coleen have a couple in order, in white.

[flattotheboards]

Overall I feel that this looks horrendous - especially from the front and the side, from the rear it doesnt look too bad - quite similar to a Range Rover Sport. The interior looks good, however it would look even better with different colour wood and leather.

[Mini1275]

Well it ain't going to win any beauty contests!.

I think this photoshop looks slightly better:
