Are you already spec'ing yours?
I think you've missed the boat of the matte look stuff.

Been on the cards for ages. Their Fastest growing larger markets (far east, Russia etc) demand it. It's commercial stupidity not to build it.

May not fit with the brand for us in the UK but $ are $....

Is that a real press release, it looks like one of Autocar's crappy photoshops.

I think Bentley should build an SUV, they'd sell loads of them.

[Pothole]

Their previous attempt wasn't any better, remember?

[williamp]

let me guess: based on the VW Tourag platform? Or maybe the Audi Q5/7/whatever platform, but with different colours and trim.

I think my kids photoshopped that today at nursery, they are only 21 months.

The Q7/Tuareg and Cayenne are all the same platform, so it'll be on that.

Utterly foul. For chavs and footballers only. Those with taste and decency will buy a Bentley Mulsanne (or, even better, a RR Ghost) for trips to the South of France and a Range Rover or even a Defender for trips to the country.

BMW have got it so right with RR and VW have got it so wrong with Bentley.

sounds about right

Just run it on liquid gold and sell a few to Putin. Economy / Environment etc etc will have no relevance to the market this is aimed at.

It might look better if they got rid of those little vents by the headlights and gave it a twin headlight setup like the CGT then got rid of those fog-light vent things all together.
