Got to drive this today. Pulls hard. W12 feels nice, jet liner like thrust.

I never noticed until just now how the steering wheel and all the buttons on it are pure Audi.  I know it's all the same company, but anyone who buys a Bentley and already has an Audi should sure feel comfortable with the controls!

Think it is a 2019 or 2020. Bentayga W12. Other than the grunt of the engine, I was not overly bowled over. Spoiled by my Jag I guess. Very comfy though...soaked up bumps no problem at speed.

Yeah compared to your Jag it isn't anything special.

Saw a twin to your Jag during our evening walk. Parked in a 2M$ house's driveway. JLR fans, other car was a RR.

I saw a Lincoln Aviator pulling out of a parking lot.  I don't know why, but I always thought the Aviator was a smaller SUV - which I guess it is, being smaller than a Navigator.  That being said, it was Explorer sized, which I guess is the platform it's based on.

Looked nice.  Well proportioned, and different enough from an Explorer as to be not instantly recognizable as a badge engineered vehicle a-la GM style.

The Aviator was always based off the Explorer even back when it first made an appearance.  You are right though, it's not a "small" SUV.

I suppose it was, I just never cared enough to dig into it and find out more.

Not exactly the most popular vehicle, so you are definitely forgiven for not paying attention to it.

Mrs BC loves the Aviator.  She had me pull into the Lincoln dealership last weekend just to peruse them.
