  1. +Kings mario Frankly, the most expensive Range Rover is more capable, more spacious, better looking and infinitely more stylish, not to mention a lot cheaper. A lot cheaper. And yes, the interior is not as crushingly good, but the RR's inside is already very nice to begin with. And speed? In a 2,5 tonne off-roader? Come on, that's just bollocks.

  2. Mentu Hotep Much like the Bentley in the video, that is a car for people with an alarming lack of taste...

  3. Mentu Hotep Well, it's incredibly ugly and overpriced. The latter is why it attracts girls.

  4. Mentu Hotep Not really, I can see the good points of a Panamera. It's luxurious, well-made, incredibly fast and nice to drive. But pretty? Tasteful? Good value? Not really. I don't like it for the same reasons I don't like the Bentayaga in the video.

  5. Eugeneshighadventures Thing is, a sports saloon is a body style that can adapt to speed properly, thanks to its relatively low centre of gravity and overall sleek build. It has the utility of a regular car with the speed and excitement of a sports car. The same applies to fast estates. However, SUV's are too high up to handle properly. The amount of engineering magic required just to make it corner acceptably and make it able to handle 500+ bhp in the corners, is already astoundingly high. SUV's will never be properly fast, it's physically impossible. The Bentayga is stuck as a straight-line rocket/overpriced family car with too few seats. It can barely use the speed. This is also why early AMG's weren't very good.

  6. Eugeneshighadventures A BMW M3 actually qualifies as a proper sports car. So will the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. A sports saloon has appeal in that it's a sports car in disguise. Plus, you can handle it through corners nicely, even on the road. Fast SUV's, however, are merely a penis extension for footballers. A slow Bentayga is a bad idea too, but Rolls got it right when they made cars like the Phantom and Ghost 'sufficiently fast'. As fast as you'll ever need it to be, but not too fast to poorly synchronise with the stately, cathedral-like character of the rest of the car. Though I will admit that the engineers did a good job. Props to them, it's the fault of the designers and marketers.
