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

The Defender cost me close to $106.000 in today's money.

Makes the Grenadier and the L663 Defender look like better value considering what you get for your extra dollars.

I am sure the new one will depreciate a lot more than the old one.

They are ok, and probably getting better if you've got the budget for a "premium niche brand". Who may have pretty limited support.
