Ineos Grenadier, do you reckon it'll take off?

Hope it flops. Laziest design team ever!

Soulless clone. There’s a reason Merc dropped the G wagon.

The only way prices are kept down on small volume stuff like this is cheap components.

...... they've briefed their lawyers ...... the fate of the Land Wing X7, in a Chinese court no less, is instructive:

I have seen they want to keep its price down as it needs to be affordable for its target market. I think their second last video said they can’t keep to same price the last Defenders went for but are doing their best to not go far over.

Fingers crossed they deliver

Couldn't agree more, the vehicle landrover should have delivered. Looking forward to seeing if it can take the place of the defender or cruiser in the farming segment/market.

If it's a success, JLR will buy INEOS lock, stock and barrel. !!!

If jimmy will sell it that is ;)

I must say, I have a few notes on the design but I like what I am seeing so far. If things keep going as they are, the P38 might be getting a much deserved retirement... No worries, she'll be fired up regularly for that wonderful V8 note :)

With all the interest in the new Grenadier, i’m wondering how the die hard, dyed in the wool Landy lovers are feeling about this new vehicle.
Considering it is being bankrolled by a Landy nut, engineered by the same company that builds the G wagen, bench marked off the 70 series, it’s little wonder it has the hall marks of these boxy beasts.
I for one am excited to see a utilitarian vehicle being developed in a time when the world has gone soft. If it gives people the same feeling my 110 gives me when I drive it, then that can only be a good thing.
Lot’s of comments on “this is what the new defender should be”, but i’m not a marque junkie, i’m a fan of vehicles with a bit of character, so i’m just happy that it’s being built. Land rover do comfy well nowadays, so maybe the new defender is perfect for them. I can’t see anyone seriously cross shopping a “new Defender” and the Grenadier, totally different vehicles.

Cheers, Bob

No music if you turn the volume down [emoji12]
I find watching TV, no sound, with my choice of music so much more enjoyable
Stops me getting stuck watching it as I don’t know what their on about and only get stuck if there is a pretty lady (or Land Rover) on the screen

INEOS looks the part
If Toyota drop the v8 and go independent I suspect INEOS will take the cake[emoji106]

you may be right there.....$$$$ will also play a big part.
