If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Thats not an attractive vehicle from any angle...at all. Porsche Cayenne Turbo S for this guy, or a G65 if I wanted some sort of impress people at the golf course kind of SUV.

If you are indeed a discerning "driver"....you don't end up in an SUV.   :stick:  ;D

The Bentley is an SUV for people wanting to display their financial wang while still being trendy.

The Defender 110 is my favorite british SUV, you can show off your penchant for British SUVs and not look like a noveau riche Dubai douche.

no idea how good these are, but it looks fun and would likely be somewhat unique:

I have a soft spot for Bentley. I could care less about Ferraris, Lambos, Buggatis, etc. but Bentleys are so beatuiful.  :drool:

I find Bentleys in general quite attractive.  This one however, is right up there with the X6 in the fugly looks department.  Interior is pretty damn nice as usual though.

Since VW owns Bentley, one may assume that this Bentayga is the German interpretation of what it thinks the British would have designed if they were free to do so. Unlikely.

In any case, too bad Range Rover got there first. VW designed a blunderbuss instead, definition by OED as: "An action or way of doing something regarded as lacking in subtlety and precision."

Demn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead, sir! We'll get Jerry on the port side instead!

The brown interior looks great!  The outside, however... yikes.  Not for me.

While in Monte Carlo last month, there was one of these parked near the Casino.
The attention it was getting was unreal.

The Cayenne is far better looking.  Well, they're all unattractive, but some are more ugly, and the Bentley is near the top of the ugly list.

The Cayenne Turbo is also a LOT less money.

The Cayenne's are also well made.

With you on all points.

Being rich does not garantee good taste..  :hurl:

Seen in a very expensive area of London. I must have saw over 20 Bentleys and RR that day. And a few Aston Martins. Boy the sound of that V12.  :heart:

Knightsbridge by chance? Bentleys are essentially street lamps there...was insane just to walk around.
