Bentley’s SUV concept, the EXP 9 F was the most polarizing and controversial vehicle shown at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. After hearing reactions, Bentley has decided to back to the drawing board on their SUV.

What Car? has learned from a Bentley source the EXP 9 F will be getting some changes. Those changes could include “more traditional SUV proportions”, “less retro surfacing”, and smaller headlights.

I actually like that sytling, I find it very unique in the sea of SUVs. It's a shame public opinion is causing a redesign... how many of those complaining about it would/could afford it???

I like the styling of the profile in particular and the side panel contouring, not the usual slab sided SUV. Unusual to see an SUV w/o dark window tint. The headlights are a bit large. I like the subtle design of the wheels.

GMTruckGuy74, I totally agree, the Look is a love it / hate it look but that is why I like it so much. It truly stands apart from all other luxury SUV's just like my Escalade 2006 stands out from all others.

Plus how many people are really going to be able to aford it anyway. I would be listening to the ubber rich customers more than the general public at an auto show.

The styling was fine. The name was terrible.

'Exp 9 F' isn't a very good name, even for a concept... to reach the target market, it needs to be more like 'Ca$hMoneyBallaRide' or something similar...
