That picture reminded me of the Vector from the 80s, in my memory, but it actually doesn’t look like that at all.

  • Submitting a new frivolous acquisition - 991.2 Carrera GTS in agate grey with 7MT. I haven't had a "fun" car in years. The itch has been growing and I settled on a manual 911. I've been patiently wait

  • I've been looking for over 2 years for a Miami Blue 991.2 slick top with a 7MT and RAS, and finally found one. Carrera T with all the aforementioned options and 9k miles. Fucking love this thing.

I was behind a new AMG GT63 4-Door yesterday and now I want to sell my house to get one.

Ferrari Modulo. James Glickenhaus bought one and made it an actual running, driving car.




Saw a Bentley SUV headed E on 290 in Oak Hill yesterday - had a hitch rack with 2 YETI coolers out back.

Seems to me kinda "I have a Bentley & you don't" sorta thing, but to each their own desires. If you've got it, spend it I guess.

The Bentley and Lambo SUVs are really head scratchers. Just making an SUV to say you did. The Rolls is a pretty good performer apparently and the DBX is going to be a hyper rally car, but some of these things are just straight status symbols.

Some? All Bentley's are just status symbols. And they make SUV versions because they sell.

Saw one the other day and I was full on WTF?   It looks terrible.  I *think* the guy had factory rims but man oh man did it look a bit like a Donk.  So many cool beautiful Bentleys... I can't imagine walking in and picking that shameful shit.

lulz the wheels were stock.......

Was having coffee this am at a  cafe with the wife....   cleanish, but not pristine Battleship Grey Defender rolls up...  slight lift (shocks), slightly larger rubber, and topless.  Damned!

Kinda like this one, but with the whole top off and with a definite used but not abused vibe

That’s true. But they are also ridiculous.

Yes they are all status symbols, but not all purely status symbols. The Continental GT is a wicked drive.

I mean, I hate the Cayenne as much as the next guy, but they aren't ridiculous. It's one of basically 4 current (soon to be 5) options for someone that wants performance off and on road.

Wife can’t decide AMG GTR vs this now.  Wants to haul her parents around when they visit the states.  

Imo, the 63 is a better primary car and the GTR a better plaything

I don’t think “imo” is necessary for this take.

Imo, the new merc interiors look like an incredible place to spend time.

Fair point, but the percentage of Cayennes ever taken off road is akin to the percentage of King Ranch edition F-250s that will ever see an actual ranch.

I'm not denying it's an edge case, I've said several times I'm probably one of maybe 6 X5M owners that actually use their vehicle for what it was designed for, but these SUVs do have a function.

 

The Bentley however I see no use for whatsoever. And don't get me started on King Ranch Fords. Jfc.

 

Related, I am 100% sure if I ever get a Rolls I will never sit in the front seat, because it's a fucking Rolls man.

Posted in the truck thread, but I’m kinda liking the new 90 that is coming out. The 110 looks like the LR4, but the 90 actually pays some justice to the original namesake especially when looking at the other reboots lately.

As far as the high end SUV run right now, why wouldn’t they try it? They are all chasing Porsche’s success although doing it at a higher price point and lower volume. Guys with a Lamborghini in the garage typically have multiple vehicles, so they may as well pick up a Urus now for those days when they need to seat 3-4. None of them are looking for an off road vehicle, they just may need something more “practical”.

Why not pick up the Q8? Isn’t it basically the Urus?

As I said, this isn't true. Agree with the rest though.

Ummm, because it doesn’t say Lamborghini on it. My wife really wanted the Q8 when she looked at them this summer. With 2 kids, a dog, and several 2000 mile road trips a year an Expedition won out for practicality. However, when the oldest turns 16 in two years, I’m sure she will look again.

Unless the top comes off it's just another luxury mid size suv. Looks a lot like a ford Edge to me.  Hard pass

I have to confess I don't even know what the Galleria is.

 

But the daily habit for my vehicles is this.

Yeah, that's part of the joke the OP didn't intend but was funny to me.  The Va Beach Galleria  ... lulz

Anyway none of the pics you posted strike me as particularly "off road" but it's better than an oyster shell parking lot outside of some bbq place in OBX

I’m out all day at work / meetings.  Sadly no sharing whatever I’m being driven around in.  
 

I’m trying to convince her GTR still...

Actually any model AWD including Foresters & CRVs would do fine (although I know the pics flatten things).   But I'm too redneck for that, I put 33's on the FJ40 and 35's on the tundra ... that shit would be my playground!  Don't need a Bentley to cross a mud puddle.   I have been on record as a x5m fan...  but lets not pretend it's a design built off-road machine.

 

As for the Galleria comment...  my dad is still pissed VB doesn't have a PF Chang's.

When I watched Stranger things I flashed back to the Lynnhaven mall.  To be fair haven't seen that place in 20+yrs.   Last time I was there I sneaked into Ghostbusters.
