You can drop $300k on a Land Rover. The kind of person who buys a Bentley instead may just be tired of Land Rovers.I had one of these behind me while driving around this weekend. It's a Bentley SUV, called the Bentayga. They start at around $200K, but can go up to $300K.

My question is, what kind of person says "I need a Bentley SUV"?
You're kind-of bending the truth to fit your narrative. There is one particular (and rare) configuration of the Range Rover that starts at over $200k, and when fully optioned goes for $270k. However, most of the models and configurations go for around $100k including options. The Bentley starts at $200k.You can drop $300k on a Land Rover.

Then I guess my narrative is "I don't know why you're asking the question". Someone has a bunch of money and wants an SUV, so they bought the Bentley SUV. Why are you asking the question? Or is it rhetorical, and you are trying to say they shouldn't have that much money, or they shouldn't buy an SUV, or they shouldn't buy a Bentley SUV?You're kind-of bending the truth to fit your narrative.

I do agree that a person who buys the Bentley is tired of driving (and seeing) Range Rovers.
I don’t know what type of RR he owns. But it looks something like the black badge? I’ll try and take some pics of the toys he drives.This is exactly my point. He's loaded, so he has a variety of vehicles, including a "traditional" Rolls Royce sedan. But when he needs an SUV, he has a GMC Yukon. He doesn't say "I need to combine the capabilities of an SUV and a high-end luxury/performance car into 1 vehicle". That's why the Bentley SUV seems so bizarre to me.
Once again, you're either missing my point, or pretending to miss my point for the sake of spinning-up the vortex. The idea of a Bentley SUV is very odd, and if you don't understand why, then I don't know what to say. An SUV is an odd thing for an ultra-luxury manufacturer to make. And it also seems odd to me, that a potential customer wouldn't just buy a regular Bentley and an SUV (like a Range Rover).Then I guess my narrative is "I don't know why you're asking the question".

But if you don't find it odd, and feel annoyed by my post (as you seem to be), then feel free to ignore it.
I see Porsche Cayennes every day. Maybe I just drive through boojier hoods?I always thought Porche SUVs were peculiar. Not to say there isn't some weird niche market for them.
There is no implication that it could actually climb rocks.

If they bought that $40k Jeep with a 7 year note, yeah. If they had $40k sitting around getting dusty then a $40k Jeep is probably better off road than any other option.That's the problem. These guys who buy 40,000 Jeeps, upgrade them, and off-road with them seem absolutely nuts to me.
I'd buy a POS Isuzu Trooper and give 'er hell.
