The Spyker D12 SUV was surprisingly ahead of its time

Now everyone is jumping into the SUV game with 100K+ luxury vehicles and Spyker was almost there in 2006. I bet this would stack up pretty nicely against the new Bently Bentayga and company. Plus, the Interior is just fantastic.

The only drawback... how hideously ugly that poor thing was.

The front needs to be massaged(or nuked from orbit) but a could see a few of those being sold.

Those wheels somehow remind me of the ones Clarkson put on his Frontera in the cheap SUV challenge.

I can’t be the only one who misses Spyker can I?

Other than the wheels I really don’t mind this. I’d have probably gone with a little less chrome too.

I’m still sad that Muller ran Spyker into the ground by purchasing Saab. I was genuinely interested in the B6 Venator, as it actually seemed like it would be within the realm of attainability, unlike the C8.

I really miss Spyker. They were tiny and Dutch and fantastic. All I want in life is that shifter and all the quilted leather and chrome scoops I can handle.

Is it really any worse than the first generation Porsche Cayenne or the Bentley?

Shockingly ugly.

Like a bacteria in the middle of cell multiplication by division got hit by a enlagenator ray.

Definitely worse than the Bentley, but the 1st gen Cayenne has not aged well.

I miss them greatly, I love their cars and still nobody is doingwhat they did. Any Spyker, but particularly a C12 is one of my dream cars.

Rare as hen’s teeth though

I love it. Maybe I’m softened by time.

I agree! It’s so unique, they could build it today and it would still stand head and shoulders above the rest of the market.

Agree to disagree.

See, I happen to think it's a fine looking vehicle.
