So Aston's gone and done it; made itself an SUV. Has....anyone ever told Aston what its customers actually want?

I didn't think Porsche customers wanted that either, but....

Bentley has one on the market, saw it at the Philly Auto Show back in February. SUV’s have been the hot commodity for some time now, outselling cars in some instances, so it’s no wonder companies want to jump on that gravy train.

Yeah, I've seen it, and the Rolls Royce one, which is...absolutely ridiculous. Only rappers and soccer players will buy that one. In other words, it's target market. But Rolls and Aston just aren't supposed to look...vulgar. Lamborghini also has the....Urus. I'm not kidding about the name; sounds like a body part of medical condition, neither of which you want to talk about.

I understand why they're all doing it, (have Ferrari got one as well?), but it just seems wrong. Oh well, not like it's something that will ever effect me, sadly...

This is the Rolls SUV:



At least it isn't called the Urus. The one I saw on the road was bright lime green. Probably a rapper.

Speaking of the Urus:

Here's the Bentley SUV, the Bentayga which sounds like the generic name for some drug you'd see advertised in TV commercials with warnings about side effects out the rear end:

It's slightly less repulsive than the Rolls...

The Bentley looks like a Dodge Journey

Good lord, that's terrible. I suppose people must buy them for status and not beauty.

Never confuse means with taste.

Never confuse means with taste.

So true.

[achilles]

So true.

In person, that thing looks like that decor, tacky and tasteless.
It's ugly is what I'm saying...

Few cars can top the classic sleek design of the Jaguar E-Type.

[Scott Taylor]

Sad looking SUVs. They are supposed to have higher clearance, for one thing. Those are SUVs for soccer moms.

Or, soccer players. Over in Britain, high end luxury SUV’s are nicknamed “Chelsea Tractors”.

Nice! I wonder what one of those in pristine condition goes for these days?
