Just got back from Long Boat Key, FL a couple days ago and always see really nice cars here. Bentleys seem to be the luxury car of choice, even a few with W12s and a few nice Rolls like the one below.
I also parked next to this 7 series BMW and I actually thought it looked pretty good in person even in a light color with the M-sport grille.

Your situation sounds like the more common one where it represents a failure in the charging system, either the alternator or its voltage regulator. Then you can drive only until the battery is too low to fire the plugs and injectors, which typically doesn't take long.

There's near zero chance I can convince my wife to trade the Q7 on a G91, but I'm definitely going to give it a try.

I would agree. Though there's plenty of totally valid criticism of the XM, very little of it is aimed at its 644hp powertrain. Take that, add 100hp, subtract 700 lbs, dramatically lower the center of gravity, wrap it in some nice sheetmetal, and it'll really be something.

Could it be price bias? A spanking new rolls like this passed us last week. It sure looked nice but I felt like I was impressed more by the cost of it. A new S was right behind it and I wondered if that rolls was that much better design. I guess only owners can appreciate it and justify the cost.

i just don't get saying something is 'fake' if it exists just because it might 'insult' someone who owns a higher end model of the same brand.
luxury brands know full well that unless they're rolls royce, they HAVE to sell cars in volume and share parts to keep the prices somewhat reasonable. porsche realized that decades ago when it was close to going under. then they did boxster which was cheap inside initially and 'offended' 911 owners of course.

bentley is a bit more of a poser brand, lol, a bit like maserati is in relaitonship to ferrari. and yeah, while the interior of a bentayga is quite nice, the exterior is just really weak.

I wouldn't call Bentley a poser brand on any level...
