    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.

    • I know a Greek guy in New York and he was just telling me that he used to take Olympic Airways to and from Greece.  He said that it was Aristotle Onassis's airline ... I didn't know that.  He told me they had a 747 named Olympus and another one named Zeus.   Olympic never put out much of a reach to North America ... just NY and Toronto, I believe.  They bankrupted sometime post-9/11.  Now, Greece only has much smaller Aegean, but they stick mostly to Europe, the Middle East, etc. Here's one of their 747s approaching Athens Airport next to the sea at Ellinikon. In looking up this airline and jet, they had a write-up on Olympic Airways Flight 411 which was using the 747 Zeus in 1978, so this was a fairly new unit. Fairly shocking for a veteran crew - 418 people on board - close call ...
    • I watch a ton of shows and follow quite a few YouTubers, but it's because I have about 80 minutes a day on a bus to and from work. 
    • Most TV shows and sitcoms that take place in the same 1 to 3 rooms test my patience.  Maybe that's why I might watch documentaries and police shows, and very rarely at that, or watch movies I've read about in advance and want to see.
    • I honestly have tried a couple times and Seinfeld is just not funny nor interesting to me, I feel like I deserve a refund for my time wasted on that show.  That also is why I tend to not watch much TV unless I stream a movie as I would rather be out living life than sitting in front of the tube being programmed at.
    • Several of my friends have asked me, "What, you never saw that Seinfeld episode?!?" I'm seeing it for the first time.  It's funny. I thought "Seinfeld" was boring ... too slow. The only episode I've watched was the "Assman" episode.  Kramer, in my mind, was the only funny character on the show.
