Bentley SUV (Bentley Falcon) to get completely new design – EXP 9 F scrapped

Car & Driver are reporting that Bentley’s new Design chief - Luc Donckerwolke – is scrapping the Bentley SUV Concept and starting again. Despite the less than friendly response to the Bentley SUV, Bentley went on to show it at both the Beijing Motor Show and Pebble Beach but made it clear that the SUV was just a concept; a work in progress. But the arrival of Luc Donckerwolke as Bentley’s Chief Designer appears to have signalled the end of the EXP 9 F concept completely, with Car and Driver reporting that Donckerwolke isn’t overseeing a tinkering with the EXP 9 F Concept, but is scrapping it altogether.

Cars like the Cadillac CTS-V – particulary the CTS-V Coupe and CTS-V Wagon – are proper, grown-up cars that can keep up with much of what Europe has to offer.

July 16: An efficient way to get around

Drove home last night but since it was so hot I didn't plug in the car to recharge until next morning. We had the central air on and I didn't want to blow a fuse in the house. I have no idea if it would have blown a fuse or not.
