The Bentley Bentayga is a luxury SUV made by Bentley. It’s designed to be comfortable for passengers and practical for carrying things. People often talk about add-ons and protective accessories because it’s meant to be used and kept in good condition.
Car
Bentley GTS and GTCS
Bentley just introduced two new versions of its cars: one is the coupe and one is the convertible. They’re meant to feel stronger and more powerful, with more engine output and a darker, sportier look.
Torque is the engine’s twisting force. More torque usually helps the car feel stronger when you start moving or when you’re climbing or pulling.
Concept
car manufacturers loan those cars
Sometimes car companies lend cars out for events or testing. That means the cars aren’t owned by the people doing the trip—they’re provided by the automaker.
Concept
green market
“Green market” is a way of talking about the part of the car market that’s focused on eco-friendly cars. The host is basically saying that even if that market is slower, the dealership can still be very busy.
A test drive is when you drive a car yourself before buying it. Dealerships often get more people doing test drives on busy weekends.
Concept
end of the month
Dealers often get busier at the end of the month because sales goals and promotions line up then. The hosts are saying that’s when more people come in.
Bentley Palm Beach is a car dealership for Bentley cars in Palm Beach, Florida. In this segment, it’s where the hosts are talking about events, customers, and their local partnerships.
They’re describing a building where a special elevator can lift cars up to your floor. Instead of driving into a garage ramp, your car can be raised to where you live.
LIVE
We're here for a very special event so when I got the invitation dogs and
Bentley I had to say yes and even though it involved driving an hour and a half
from my house in Miami but we are here with please introduce yourself I'm
Jennifer Forsythe with Big Dog Ranch Rescue and Alan Shannon director for
Bentley Palm Beach so here we are because you two are a partnering for a
very cool event which is you explain that I mean test drives adoption and all
that kind of thing tell us about it please. Yeah Bentley reach out to us
looking for this amazing opportunity to bring some awareness to dog lovers and
test drive a gorgeous new vehicle too actually I think they're driving today
absolutely absolutely and you know our Bentley owners have told us time and
time again and have displayed to us time and time again that they are dog people
dog lovers and we felt as though it was only natural to fuse the two together.
Bentley has a whole new line of dog related car accessories don't they? Oh
really? Yeah that's correct. What are they like rams, cages? Yeah there's all
kinds of dog accessories that you can put in the back of the the Bentayga which
is the Bentley SUV to protect this one. The one we're sitting in right now which is
beautiful. I wish this was a video because the interior of this is spectacular the
first thing you say is like I love the orange detail right? Absolutely. It's really
great so dogs are here today to celebrate this love of dogs that Bentley has
and that they're reaching out into this community and we're gonna hopefully get
some adoptions we have maybe 12 dogs coming here to the showroom today and
tomorrow and hopefully it'll be amazing. So tell us about the your
organization. It's very important like the biggest open cage. We are the largest
cage-free no-kill dog rescue in America. Yeah so we are we currently are the
temporary home we'll say this location right here in Loxahatchee to over 700
dogs. Wow. And that's in and out 100 every single week at least more right now
because we're involved with a really special Beagle rescue going on so we've
got we're at our very full capacity in the moment but we just everyone loves
dogs and we want to see an end to dog homelessness we want to see
legislation behind you know dog ownership and responsibility of dog
ownerships and pet ownership so we do a lot in the community we try to reach
out as much as we can and get our dogs and as many homes as we can. Yeah that's
that thing with the Beagle was big news like a month ago like can you explain a
little bit what it was but I think it like 1500 dogs from Wisconsin or
something like that. It's super super big news it's still on it's an ongoing
process it's something that our owner founder CEO Laurie Simmons worked really
really hard for a long time to make happen she really was the the catalyst
behind the whole rescue and they freed 1500 Beagles from a laboratory facility
in Wisconsin we are we currently have about 500 of them. Of those 500 wow. 15 and
Laurie went oversaw the distribution of the rest all across America so she
really was pivotal in finding all those homes and I was just informed that we're
headed back up there for more so Beagles coming my way every day. And being your
neighbor here from this Bentley dealership that was I guess one of the
reasons you wanted to get involved with this and I get your customers to get to
know all this right. It just felt very obvious you know with the big dog rescue
ranch right in our backyard you know the symbiosis just felt organic and just
something that needed to be done and we're really looking forward to hoping
that some of these dogs today will find some so the program here is everybody
who comes and test drive a new car will use the dealership will donate $100 to
the that's correct we're going to donate $100 for every test drive today to
the to the rescue ranch and we're hoping that some of our clients will come in
and hopefully match or exceed that donation. Excellent and drive out with
Tyga and the dog accessories they've got everything you need here. Can you tell us a
little bit about the two new cars that are here you're showcasing today? Absolutely
so Bentley just launched their brand new GTS and GTCS the GT being the
coupe the GTC being the convertible and it's a higher horsepower higher torque
more muscular more darker aesthetic version of the coupe and the convertible
and we're excited to to unveil them today to our clients. I think your first
guess is test driving the convertible right now. That's really everything so we
as journalists a group of journalists we do a rescue mission for beagles from
Omaha in Nebraska to Portland to the West Coast because I guess you know more
than me but I have done it for four years there's a noble population of
beagles in the Midwest in the middle of the country really because again like
hunting and lab testing so we take them there car manufacturers loan those cars
to transport and so maybe next time we'll bring up and so a little more about
the organization where can people find more information about it where can they
go in and like do a not only here this event but in normal circumstances.
Certainly our website is www.bdrr.org so all the information about our various
programs live there we have a veteran service dog training program on site
where we train rescue dogs to work to be veteran service dogs it's a completely
free program to the veteran something we're very proud of we have a senior
sanctuary there's a puppy town it really is the Walt Disney World of dog rescues
if people haven't been they should absolutely come and check it out it's
quite lovely but we do as much as we can all in the community and all of our
community events will be posted there as well fundraising events all year long
and then obviously partners like we're developing here with Bentley so we can
find us in all kinds of places right now we're also downside of the green market
at the same time that we speak very busy weekend and I guess the weekends are
very busy here for the dealership for test drives and new customers coming in I
always very busy we have Saturday so it always brings in some foot traffic also
the end of the month always a big big end of the month
Oh really?
The end of the school year right?
So that's that's true about the end of the month of dealerships
That's right it's absolutely true so yeah no we're
super excited to be hosting this and partnering with Big Dog Rescue Ranch and
we truly hope that it'll be a success and how Florida really is one of the
biggest markets for luxury cars in general but Bentley too right?
Absolutely absolutely well here at Bentley Palm Beach you're really in the right
we're actually the number one volume dealer in the US
Oh really? Wow and we're fighting every day tooth and nail to keep it going yeah
that rank well there I guess it's associated to the brand but like the
new Bentley Tower has been built nearby and Sony Isle right so that's going to
be another addition to the lineup I guess absolutely it's super exciting I've
actually visited the sales center myself and had the pleasure of having a
little tour of a model of one of those apartments and it's this very exciting
project and we're looking forward to its completion yeah and that building for
the ones who don't know have a elevator to put your I think in some cases up to
four cars that's right to go up to your apartment whatever the floor is 60 70 I
don't know how high the the building is but it's an amazing thing and it's like
really really I mean incredible it's very cool and you know the
building itself is going to be one of a kind so our clients are very much
looking forward to it. Well excellent thank you very much for your time for letting us
sit in this beautiful Bantiga we're not driving this we're gonna try to get a
slot into the test drive of the new cars and hopefully we can visit the ranch too
