patently Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Suddenly the Cayenne looks beautiful 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Good god! 2000 customers can't be wrong. Feck that, they can be and most definitely ARE wrong!!!! I bet Garcon will be first to see one up in Footballshire....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'm not sure even my neighbours will stomach that. I'm assuming all 2000 signed up customers are from the middle east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Looks like any Bentley to me? Can't see enough of it to judge it's looks, but i'm expecting it to look rank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinspark Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Looks like yet another generic VAG product with Bentley front grille tacked on. Which, of course, is exactly what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 If it looks as good as other Bentley cars, it'll be lovely. I can't see how anyone can judge on a picture of a CGT placed on a table and lots of sand kicked up around it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stooH Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Er, did you scroll down to the picture of the concept car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Errr, no... Ah, I see. Okay so it isn't Cameron Diaz on wheels. But hey, it'll grow on people. Seriously though, shapes as distinctive as that can look amazing in reality. I'll reserve judgement until I see one on the roads. When I'm in London.

Torino101 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 If it is even remotely like the concept car then it's going to be every premiership footballers' wet dream. Even Kahn would struggle to make it less tasteful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garcon magnifique Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Now then. If I'd just won that 107 million jackpot, I'd buy one and do the Paris-Dakar in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Are you suggesting it won't see much off-road action, MrMe?? Gosh... I was thinking more about the number of Bentley's I see in London than anything else. I'm in Camden on Monday and you can be assured of me seeing at least 5-6 on the taxi ride from KGX to there.

m4ttm4son Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 In that sand picture it looks ok... then I scrolled down Hideous doesn't come anywhere near. That design was outsourced to Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 That second picture is an impression from ages ago - don't be fooled into thinking that's the sneak preview. It'll probably look something like that, but I'd rather wait to see the real thing. This is aimed squarely at the Chinese and Middle East market - whether that's actually in China and the Middle East or Kensington and Chelsea I'm not so sure...

simonb Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 I had to go to the Bentley factory a couple of years back for work and got chatting to a production manager who gave me a bit of a low-down on this. Nothing secret to report other than their 2nd biggest market after the US in 2012 was China. This was back then fairly fresh news to them as a business. Have you seen some of the crap car designs coming out of China??! In reality though - should Bentley really care? This will end up on the drives of the Bentley die-hards next to their Contis or Flying Spurs as a suitable replacement for their Range Rover to get Ruport and Hugo to school on time. Or else otherwise, it's something a bit different for a footballer, WAG or pop star to be 'papped' in filling their boot with posh looking shopping bags and perhaps demonstrates to the world more recent 'fashionable-ness' than a Rangey or Cayenne. It'll sell like hot cakes i'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
