It certainly looks ungainly and badly proportioned.

I found this part interesting though

Does anyone else think Bentleys look plasticky and cheap!? (at least the 2 door ones)

I see a few of those 2 door ones around and always think they look like rubbish!! Something hyundai would make.

Looks alright to me. Anything that "different" has to come with an upmarket price tag.

I know it's not an SUV, but ever since the release of the Rolls Royce Phantom, all other upper luxury cars look ordinary at best, be it Bentleys, the Maybach, the Bugatti, even the Panamera, all lack the Phantoms presence and sense of proportion. In real life they look even better.

The design elements, forward set front axle, long bonnet, thick C pillar, shorter bootlid. IMO just gorgeous.

Still looks like a concept type car or whatever they are called.
Once they actually put it in to production I think it will end up looking a bit better.

Probably could look much better by getting rid of those drug deeler wheels. You'd find those on Lincoln Navigators, and Cadillac Escalades, playing doof doof music.

Ugly but I like it (well the front and interior).
There is a lot of attention to detail that I like.
I love the interior.

Exactly, hence the Porsche Cayenne's success.

As for the Bentley - agree 100% she's ugly. And for the price, the panels and seats would want to be stuffed full of $100 notes.
