Since I’m on the topic of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ... I spotted a Bentley Bentayga yesterday. A not-so-hot take follows after the jump.

The Bentayga I spotted was Apple Green with the chromed grille option, similar to the picture above. It was awful .

A Bentley should look big - because it is big - but it should look smooth, powerful, luxurious and fully in control of its heft. This particular shade of green made the car look oversized and ungainly.

U nder the bright midday sun, the chrome grille was too bright, too sparkly. It was gaudy and looked very cheap.

Note to Bentayga buyers : the vehicle you’re purchasing is an affront to the Bentley brand, so at the very least, keep it tasteful.

In just in case you’re wondering, this is what a green Bentley should look like:

I keep buying lottery tickets in the hopes that one day I’ll win enough to buy a car just like it.

Counterpoint: Bentley drivers are ostentatious pricks, and while the Bentayga is ugly as sin in any color , it accomplishes the goal of broadcasting to the world that you’re an ostentatious prick.

This is what a green Bentley Blower used to look like.

A picture of that car is my computer wallpaper. Beautiful!

As a Cumbrian I approve the choice of colour for the Bentley Flying Spur.

The colour is Spruce

It’s very close to Cumbrian Green, which I’d go for personally.

Cumbrian Green is nice, too, but a touch dark. Spruce has a bit more life to it.

I specced out that car years ago, and I keep the pdf as a sort of inspiration. :)
