QOTD: Who Missed -- or Hit -- the Mark on Exotic SUVs?


Once in a while, I see a Bentley Bentayga or Lamborghini Urus bopping around town. We also know the Ferrari Purosangue is on the way. So, I wonder, which automaker has gotten the extreme high-dollar luxury SUV right -- and wrong?
This, of course, also includes the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. And any other model I've forgotten, especially when it comes to ultra-high-end vehicles. I'd like to keep this to the true exotic makes, so expensive but relatively mainstream SUVs from brands like Maserati and BMW won't be part of it.
What do you think? Who has gotten it right? Or wrong?

Rather., But that would properly be Mayfair. Hyde Park is a somewhat less pleasant affair, full of commoners.
The Urus reminds me of a 60-something woman who’s had way too much work done. I’d opt for its’ platform-mate, the Audi SQ8.
I personally hate almost all of these types of SUV's however, in Dubai where I live one can see plenty of them running around the city, so I'd say they've almost all hit the mark.
That being said, some of the worst offenders are the Urus because it's almost always modified with a tasteless body kit, wrap, oversized wheels and loud exhaust (the camo wrap seems to be a particular favorite of the Urus owner). The Cullinan murdered out in black looks like a London taxi cab and I have no doubt the Purosangue will sell like crazy when it's launched here.
No matter the brand they're almost always driven by a house wife decked out in Gucci with plastic lips etc or a playboy with an immaculate lumberjack beard and no idea of how to change a tire, which is kind of the point because these types of people find them hugely aspirational and appealing.
They're all pathetic automatic scum, but the lamborghini anus doesn't even come with a lamborghini engine
