Not really. They are using Magna Steyr to do the engineering. They design and built lots of cars for lot of manufacturers. Their plant does 200000 cars a year. Ineos is not doing it from scratch. They are using world class companies to do the work.

Ratcliffe is self made to one of the richest people around. You do not do that by not knowing how to succeed.

I was referring to its introduction and marketing campaign versus what it had delivered in the Defender name...so yep.smoke and mirrors. Not saying its not a very good IRS IFS vehicle though.

Cheers

Still a niche vehicle with a small market so effectively from scratch since Ineos has never released a vehicle prior.

For a good ol' triggering from Andrew St Pierre White! Here is a review on the Grenadier from the knuckle dragger. I admit, I couldn't tolerate him for more than a few minutes.

You did better than I could manage!

It sounds to me like the Grenadier might be the vehicle a lot of people have been looking for.

If , as it appears to indicate , everything they produce is sold , it doesn't really matter how many they make , as marketing and production experts cost the vehicle out.

They are not competing against a market, it appears they have their market and other manufacturers may need to compete against the Grenadier.

Land Rover don't really have the market and they are already trying to set their markets.....already their ordering system is as complex as the vehicle.

I think if the Grenadier can move forward to it's projected build dates it is going to scare Land Rover something fierce.
