"The new Bentley is conceived to sit at the top of Volkswagen Group’s four-wheel-drive ranks, towering above the Touareg and the Q7 and priced at $160,000 to $200,000. " :yikes:

Just another grocery getter... :rolleyes:

It's an illustration, Bentley had made SUV for the Sultan of Brunei before(the Bentley Dominator), & there were reports in the past Rolls Royce is pondering making an SUV too, see their pics in This Thread (http://www.clublexus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138610&highlight=rolls+royce+suv)

I'm now eagerly waiting for the 1000hp Bugatti SUV. :rolleyes:

That is the new hotness Marshall!! Everyone is going to have one of those. With big shinny spinning rims!!!

On a serious note....Bentley needs to stop thinking about trucks. I dont know how that got into their minds, but if they do, watch Bentley go from the top of its game to a tarnished brand in less than a year if produced. :thumbdn: The way I look at it is if you have been waiting this long to produce a truck, then you are putting way to much thought into it and the brand is not ment to have a truck.Besides dont they think its a little to late to jump in the SUV thing now?? I mean, we arent talking about a 25K SUV, this is a 200K SUV. VW is slowly killing themselves over there by making products that most people probably dont want or cant afford, starting with the Jetta and moving up the latter. :thumbdn:

andn the best part is that rich people will be dumb enough to buy this.

Never know when you're gonna need a nice rugged vehicle. :rolleyes:

Are they for real? Please lawd...no no noooooo :egads:

Traditionalists likely will be outraged at the notion of a lofty four-wheel-drive, terrain-traversing model wearing the time-honored Bentley crest. But Bentley’s customer base has changed dramatically in recent years, and there are signs the majority of new Bentley owners may actually welcome such a move.

Their new customer base being "new money" like rappers, rock stars, and professional sports players.

These people buy cars because it shows the public they spent a lot of money. It doesn't matter whether it's a useless barge or not.

It will sell. Not too many, but it will definitely sell. It's a place to pour a lot of money and then show it off. It's a winner, even if it's a loser.

god forbid something broke on this 4 wheeling

i can imagine ..the dealership being like"well thats not covered under warranty ....who told you you could drive on a dirt road " :egads:

If Lambo can pull off a production SUV, so can Bently

Kinda reminds of the P.Diddy/Pepsi truck commercial. If this thing pops up in one video... watch out!!!!!!!!!

god forbid something broke on this 4 wheeling

i :

This is a car-based SUV, albeit an expensive one, and it is not designed for Rubicon Trail rock-climbing....hence the lack of a transfer case or low-range gearing.

Dealer voice yelling and screaming " what are you doing taking this suv offroading?????????:D
warranty void!!!

Oh God No!!!!!

SUVs are here to stay and this is a totally untapped market.

Remember, Range Rover was the only luxury SUV back in the 90s (the Acura SLX was a failure) and Lexus came with the LX 450 that in 2 months was outselling the RR. Now LOOK at the market now, Lexus went into an untapped market and now, almost EVERY luxury car maker has 1 if not 2 SUVs. Lexus created the car based SUV, the RX and others followed another untapped market.

Its silly but makes good business sense, since these SUVs are about excess and a Bentley or Rolls SUV would sell like free boning sessions with Eva Longoria.........
