    A Bentley Executive Talks About An Entry Level Model

      What Does A Bentley Executive Dream About For Their Lineup?

    Bentley has lineup expansion on the mind. Auto Express reports that the British luxury car maker is considering adding a smaller model towards the end of the decade. This comes from comments made by Kevin Rose, Bentley's Sales and Marketing boss.

    "We’ve said that we’re looking at an SUV, then we’ll replace the Continental and Flying Spur. Then a small car could be something we’d do," said Rose. “A small car would enable us to have something up against Aston Martin and Maserati.”

    Rose went onto say, “Price is an important part of exclusivity, so it’s hard to see us coming down to anything under £100,000.”

    So what could this entry level model could be? A previous rumorpile report from September says it could be a four-door coupe that will use the upcoming MSB platform from Porsche and feature V6 and diesel engines.

    didn't astom-martin just drop their small car? The cignet?

    This is COMPLETELY below where bentley supposedly is positioned. There's a few million that could easily be spend on making the core vehicles have some actual, detailed, distinctive bodywork rather than the bland, generic-cism they've been peddling up to now. I mean, look at the price tags on bentleys; why for one hot second ISN'T the interior for the concept EXP 9 immediately in regular production- the bentley GT coupe is $240K! There shouldn't BE any bentley concepts- they should be the production cars.

    The cignet was a ultra sub compact car I believe. This sounds like a compact 4 door car. I still cannot see spending 100K on a Bentley 4 door compact or as they say a small car.

    I agree with Balthazar that they are going in the wrong direction for a ubber exclusive auto company.

    The Cignet was a Scion iQ Brougham.... there was nothing at all Aston-Marton about it. The Bentley equivalent would be tarting up a VW Up! with expensive leather and a Bentley grille and charging a 100% price premium for it.

    Bentley already has a car on the A8 platform, so what is next, a Bentley A6 or A4? VW group has Audi to be the luxury brand, and Porsche for sports cars. Those 2 brands should be able to cover the $50-125,000 range. There is no reason for a Bentley to be under $150k, it is supposed to be expensive and over the top. An SUV is a bad idea too.

      NY Pizza and Bagels are highly overrated. Like Chicago Pizza, on a Detroit style Pizza kick lately. Tell us more about what is Montreal style pizza and bagels?

      Canadians are pissed with this and this is breaking news... Jeep will sell all the Jeeps they can in Canada as Canadians love their Jeeps. Just like other folk in the world. But...this makes for an interesting negotiation between Trump and Carney. Carney prefers negotiations over retaliations.   There is an offer on the table for nixing Canadian tariffs on Chinese EVs.   Why did I say negotiations to be interesting with Trump? Because Jeep leaving Canada, that does not leave too much enthusiasm for us Canadians to start thinking about our Canadian auto industry...saving it...as if GM and Ford do the same, there is no Canadian auto industry to be saved...so...there would ONLY BE ONE OPTION...to save the Canadian auto industry. And that would be to go to China... And if we go to China and let Chinese EVs not only to be sold here, but to be built here as well...Trump will need to comprehend that Detroit's...the US' auto industry... will be no more.   Canada has always pivoted AWAY from the US since March when Trump started threatening Canada. This is just another area where Canada just pivots away from the US.   There is something that I had to read in school... no man is an island? I cant remember the details but yeah...

      Various outside reviews are showing the numbers are ugly in dollars lost, jobs lost and the toll it will take on the auto industry. Cancelled projects, layoffs, and $22 billion lost: Trump's toll on clean energy | Latitude Media Confirmed by the company itself of Idiot47 taking their approved money that would have created jobs and products here in America, Idiot47 clearly hates America and doing the true job of growth creation. Trump slashes $100M from Kentucky battery project, reportedly weighing further cuts This will not help Stellantis, so many people are unhappy over the plastic junk quality of RAM, Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler that moving all production to the U.S. is a lost cause on top of hurting Canada and jobs lost, this is going to get ugly. Ontario premier criticizes Trump after Stellantis says it will move production from Canada to the US
