    Bentley’s SUV concept, the EXP 9 F was the most polarizing and controversial vehicle shown at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. After hearing reactions, Bentley has decided to back to the drawing board on their SUV.

    What Car? has learned from a Bentley source the EXP 9 F will be getting some changes. Those changes could include “more traditional SUV proportions”, “less retro surfacing”, and smaller headlights.

    I actually like that sytling, I find it very unique in the sea of SUVs. It's a shame public opinion is causing a redesign... how many of those complaining about it would/could afford it??? :P

    I like the styling of the profile in particular and the side panel contouring, not the usual slab sided SUV. Unusual to see an SUV w/o dark window tint. The headlights are a bit large. I like the subtle design of the wheels.

    GMTruckGuy74, I totally agree, the Look is a love it / hate it look but that is why I like it so much. It truly stands apart from all other luxury SUV's just like my Escalade 2006 stands out from all others.

    Plus how many people are really going to be able to aford it anyway. I would be listening to the ubber rich customers more than the general public at an auto show.

      Tariff Tuesday - Buick Killing it in China; Killed in the U.S.

      These companies are playing on both sides of the party line. Ford donated more to Harris than Trump.  https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/ford-motor-co/summary?id=D000000182 Same with GM. https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/general-motors/summary?id=D000000155 Toyota contributed a little more to Trump than Harris. https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/toyota-motor-north-america/C00542365/candidate-recipients/2024 Hyundai: https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/hyundai-motor-co/summary?id=D000042381   This is just fascinating information to me. It's also comical how these companies are trying to play good to either party who wins.

      Tariff Tuesday - Big Trouble in Little Crossovers

      By G. David Felt · Posted

      Sure, it does, as we have already seen some deals are being made that reduce the tariff compared to what it was before the latest announcements. For those that are not wanting what is on the lot currently or want something made outside the U.S., it totally makes sense that they would hold off and keep driving their older auto.
