I mean, it's not exactly the best weather for any color... :P

Scales pretty well. I have a 1.9 XUD9 in a 306 estate that I haven't gotten rid off yet (sentimental, I've personally pretty much never ever used it)... 64hp/1.9l IDI NA "will run on anything and everything". Add some uhh "detuning" in the detroit diesel for endurance purposes (not sure what those might be on such an engine but... military), and... yeah, still think that it scales pretty well

Yep; horrendous color. And too little. Not much presence. Nothing on that platform including the Bentley has much presence at all.

It didn't blow me away. I'd rather have Escalade V.

Cayenne Turbo GT is on that platform. I'd take one any day. I like the look of the Cayenne Coupes overall. Round and classic. Escalade has presence...like a Winnebago. Don't get me wrong, I like them, but they are much more like a boxy family hauler. I am interested in the new Yukon Denali Ultimate.

A black sport Escalade coming toward me is pretty much the baddest SUV I've ever seen. Red looks good too.

The old gen still looks good, just IMO though. And it has column shifter and is faster.

And the LM002 actually looks good in red. I do like the Urus, just not in red. It looks great in Yellow.
