We don’t need more SUVs…And especially NOT a Bentley!

Lamborghini should have gone ahead with the new generation LM powered by its V12 engines. Maybe Porsche twisted the arm of parent company VW because it doesn’t want the title of the world’s fastest SUV to go to company relative Lamborghini.

I still wish Lambo went ahead with another LM SUV, like their old ones from years ago. SUVs are already in their blood so they deserve one if they do it right.

This car is a bit of a smidge on the great Bentley name. Bentlyey used to great, classic cars but this looks lke an everyday, normal, SUV. its a Shame.

Well it kinda looks like a Chrysler 300C on steriods, IMO. I don’t think it’s *that* ugly…

#11, the whole point of owing a winged b is to flaunt your wealth. I ‘m trying to get an MBA so I can stand a chance of doing so one day. This SUV is just a bad idea

Range Rover owns this section of the market. Bentley owners may feel a little too conspicuous in these anti-suv times

#9- Despite being under the same parent company, they do compete among themselves. Example- Toureg, Q7, Cayenne. All competitors, all VW. Another- The upcoming Porsche Panamera, competiting with the Bentley Flying Spur, the VW Phaeton and Audi S8.

I am so Glad Bentley is not going to make an SUV… BUT #6 why would they go after the Porsche Turbo. Porsche now has a controlling interest in VW as well as Audi and you guessed it, Bentley.
I agree with the wagon. I think if they were to make a Flying Spur Estate, that would be Awesome.

It looked like a reskinned Touareg anyway. That platform has some serious vertical market legs.

#2- Jon, I believe the new Bentley image is more like, rappers, Paris Hilton, actors, highly paid entrepreneurs and lawyers. Thank God they won’t make an SUV, but it WOULD sell if they went after the Cayenne Turbo segment.

A Bentley wagon would be cool. I’ve always thought that wagon versions of high end sedans are cool.

The SUV craze is dying out. They can now focus on bigger more refined AND more fuel efficient cars.

OMG, why would Bentley make an SUV? Seriously? I mean a wagon fits in more with the image of Bentley (English gentleman going out to the country for some hutting and takes his 2 Labradors with him to retrieve any game shot; that sort of image) than an SUV ever could. Plus, SUV’s are so ‘down-market’ in their appeal that they would bring the whole brand down.
