    Is um, imposing looking?

    I think I’d rather buy a Toureg and keep the change. That’s a lot of coke and hookers. But then I suppose I’m missing the point since I’m not a millionaire.

    The best colour they could think of to sell the car to the media is beige. That says enough about this gopping car to me.

    Ah a Bently just in case you have gravel on your drive…
    Looks well, er, like the image has 3 different zooms going on?

    I think you’ll find that is “Gazelle”.

    Beautifully crafted interior:

    However the exterior is probably one of the least desirable designs of any SUV available at the moment to my eyes. Bulbous, fussy, messy.
    In fact it’s handy that they used a poo brown one in the video, because driving along, it reminded me of a big old Mr Hanky heading down the porcelain flume.

    i’ve seen it driving round Nantwich, at first glance it resembles a Ssangyong Musso

    I guess that we are not the target demographic, but if I was a Premier League footballer I’d chuck a week’s wages at it.

    HTS – not the target demographic? Surely us Tudor watch owners are the target 🙂

    I get the impression there are a few people on here who could afford it. Whether simply being able to afford it makes you the target demographic though, I’m not sure. Perhaps you have to be extremely wealthy, and extremely tasteless.

    I remember debating the merits of a £100,000 Porsche Cayenne with one of my friends who sold them. He was raving about it, but I couldn’t see past the idea that to me, it represented a Boxster and a Range Rover (or whatever).

    Drac- “God that’s ugly.”

    I think you are going to see a few of these, at the scene of accidents where other car drivers have gouged out their own eyes.

    I seen a few un badge ones out testing, and they are horrid. I really don’t know what Bentley are thinking.
    I pointed one out to the mrs spesh, that’s the new Bentley SUV, “you’re ******* joking!”

    That might be the most vulgar thing I’ve ever seen on 4 wheels.

    Ah well, perhaps this is another sign that the financial storm of the last 7-8 years is over, ‘bling’ is back in.

    Who designed that Rolls?

    The same bloke who styled Ned Kelly?

    It does look pretty hideous, but I’m sure lots of people will buy it.

    Aren’t a lot of Bentley sales now going to the Far East?
    Perhaps it has been styled to fit in more with their culture/tastes than ours as they expect to sell more there? Just a thought.

    The financial storm didn’t really impact the target audiance

    not for me thanks, it’s the ridiculous size of cars that puts me off, just not compatible any more with the UK road infrastructure. however everyone likes different stuff, if you want one, happy days

    they’ll be popular in the gulf states, that gold-y beige-y colour for the promo may well have been chosen by the UAE sales teams

    Is it any bigger than the other VAG cars it shares a platform with? Or a Range Rover?

    Awful, and a range of just over 370 miles is pathetic. Still probably okay for your daily 6 miles of solid traffic jam in London, Doha, Dubai or Beijing.

    I’ve never been a huge fan of the Range Rover, but I’d have one of them over that Bentley anytime.

    Ah yes, missed that. Doesn’t quantify it but I’m assuming it can’t be much bigger than a Q7 especially if it’s shorter than a Range Rover Sport.

    i remeber seeing this when i was up that way last year, even the staff didn’t like its looks, but accpeted there was a market where “people” will buy it irrespecitve. Bentley have a habit of making stuff just to satisfy a market demand, whereas RR, generally tend to make something becasue its new and good and not a “fad”..

    JLR have gone the same way, although no where near as bad – no more estates, you’ll have to choose the SUV now..

    What better way to advertise to the world that you have lots of money but no taste and probably aren’t a very good driver

    You’re right Sir.

    It’s hideous. It reminds me of the Bangle era BMW where it took them a while to realise the direction they were heading was the wrong one (See Mulsanne).

    Saying that, much like how the big bike manufacturers don’t really care what we in the UK think/want Bentley won’t be bothered what most think about it as they’ll sell loads to China. Forget the Middle East, it’s China that all the car companies are interested in.
