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

Thing is nowhere near production and already the haters are out. So, pretty fitting Defender replacement then.

Doesn’t matter how good it is, it’s Merc G-wagon territory at least for pricing.

And try to get spares in Oz.

Power to the bloke for giving it a go. I think it will end up a niche vehicle - but then again it may take up well and offer an alternative in the market.

Time will tell

Yeah, it's pricing that's the issue. For the rest of it, bloke is a billionaire in charge of a massive company. Who knows what he can pull off. Just look at the bloke you paid a deposit to for some weird truck. It may just work. I hope it does, even if I'll never be a customer.

Not the last pricing I was reading. More RR territory

Where you are maybe. Certainly not here.

Edit: I'll qualify; seems the bulk might be LHD, which is another reason Defender lovers will miss out. There were LHD Deefers, sure, but the main markets were RHD.

No. It will be below Defender pricing.

Hope you are right. It would seem that they want it to be, but it would need to sell in orders of magnitude above the pundits predictions for that to happen. I, for one, hope it does.
