Too bad the Bentley SUV isn't better looking...

Has anyone seen the new Bentley "Bentayga"? It's actually shockingly not a very good looking vehicle! Design looks rushed.
If I were going to spend a lot of money on an SUV, I'd get the Mercedes G Class. Although, they're not especially great to drive; lots of wind noise at highway speeds, brake pedal is placed too high, and handling isn't especially great.
Or a Porsche Cayenne/Macan. I've had the pleasure of driving the Cayenne Turbo and I have to say, power is adequate, handling is very good for an SUV, very comfortable. Just one complaint, powertrain refinement isn't good enough, engine produces a lot of vibration in top gear at 100kph when you're trying to accelerate to pass a truck (due to the RPMs being too low). Car needs to downshift more readily!
Lastly, 500 hp? 700Nm? My four door sedan has 476 hp and 700Nm already and it's only RWD with only 265mm rear tires! More power is necessary, and with 4WD, traction isn't an issue.
