    Seeing it's best sales since the 2008 global financial crisis, Bentley is hoping to continue it with the introduction of new models during the next few years. Bentley CEO Wolfgang Duerheimer told reporters today the company is deciding whether to build an SUV.

    Rumor has it the proposed Bentley SUV will use a W12 engine, priced around $140,000, and come out sometime in 2014.

    Duerheimer said the decision will come sometime in the first quarter.

    But that's not all. Duerheimer also revealed the company is considering an extended wheelbase version of the Mulsanne and expanding the Continental lineup.

    "I can well imagine a new two-seater coupe, a racing version and a car with a new roof system," said Duerheimer.

    • Ugly, big ugly All the signs of an imminent financial crash in America ICE and Home Land Security are two departments that now need to be closed due to incompetent leadership and clearly racist and illegal actions. Prosecute all who have broken the law and close these departments. Time to fold both of these duties into the FBI or one of the other agencies. ICE and CBP's aggressive tactics may have finally gone too far
    • Overpriced for sure, from the folks around here who have the Ford Pickup trucks and Mach-e's people who own them love them. Price seems to be the major sticking point, and I can see it getting bad word of mouth due to the price, especially in the Midwest and south where average income levels are way below the average selling price. Be interesting to see what Ford does as they have announced their commitment to still move forward and build and use the Ford BlueOval EV campus in Tennessee.  I do not see the F150 Lighting being killed off as they have recently with the base core campus completed said the second generation of the truck which is supposed to move to 800V from the current 400V will start production in 2028 with the battery line at BlueOval City. This is a push back of 1 year as they will slow down production and keep current EVs for now as they build up profits with a renewed focus on ICE. https://fordauthority.com/2025/09/ford-blueoval-city-construction-completed-despite-ev-pickup-delay/ Ford delays mass production at BlueOval City in TN: What we know WOW, So much for being the state for Businesses to grow and employe people as they continue to lay folks off, and run a higher unemployment rate than the nation. Another round of mass layoffs slams Texas workforce
