No, no, no. Please make it stop.
Not that I have a problem with Bentley, specifically, building an suv, just the idea of EVERYBODY building one. It just seems to reek of me-too-ism. The only companies that need to be building SUV's are Jeep, Land Rover, and maybe Chevy and Ford. Very, very few people actually need an SUV, and this is evidenced by the fact that most SUVs are merely jacked up station wagons with AWD. When Lexus alone has three different SUVs in their lineup, then we are experiencing an epidemic of apocalyptic proportions.
No matter though. As has been previously been stated, they will sell as many as they can build. Suddenly I feel the need to go buy a Caterham, in a vain attempt to right the tables.

Ehh, i don't care, as long as Aston Makes one, and as long as it's not the Lagonda concept. I like the idea of these car companies producing a sort of lifestyle for people to get into. I'd say that Porsche actually is a good example. They provide every sort of vehicle a person with a considerably deep pocket could want.

I prefer CARS. Cars that are small, light, and can handle well. Cars that make a lot of power and are quick and fast. SUVs typically are none of these things, and they are in my way. So to me it is a bothersome trend.

Forgive my use of hyperbole for effect. From that I'm not sure how you make the conclusion I would attend a Greenpeace rally.
