Drove a Hiace for a bit. Dunno if it was better, but they always seem so when you sit on top of the steer wheels.

Unless the specs are wrong.

Everest is 11.8M,not that great either.

The D4 was always pretty good,as is the 200.

LC79 is very similar to Puma,which is horrendous.[biggrin]
But should give them a bit of credit,both they are not really built for around town use.

Turning circle also matters when getting around trees, rocks, etc.

I reckon all the people who wanted to look at one have looked. What they need now is for Ineos to deliver cars to customers, and demos to the dealers.

I've no idea what their business model is but the sooner the better for the dealers.

It will be one of the late prototypes - I promise. They were built in the factory as trial vehicles. They were much better finished than the early prototypes. It will have it written on the back windows. They are worth a look but no one is allowed to drive them except at ineos events and then it's only off road.

The production cars are not on the boat yet but they should be soon.

And I apologise.. I didn't make this clear. My local when the prototypes arrived was scheduling one hour spots all weekend for people to look at it.

Dunno if this has been posted before:

That's right it does have a prototype number on the rear side cargo window.

FWIW... The "PTO" designation on the window denotes a "Production Try Out " vehicle... it was actually put together on a "very slow" assembly line as they climb the learning curve to refine their production processes/calibrate the robots (and the staff[bigrolf]) etc.

You won't need to buy a Grenadier to get something similar:

And a baby Grenadier EV could be around the corner........
