A Bentley necessarily be manufactured in England? The British, very loyal to all traditions, think so, obviously. At Volkswagen, however are more analytical and think alike. At the annual press conference Bentley, the CEO of the brand, Wolfgang Schreiber, revealed that the British SUV would be manufactured in Bratislava and in Crewe.

Moreover SUV Schreiber said the final will be very different EXP 9 Falcon seen in the Geneva Motor Show 2012.
