Not good PR/marketing in my opinion.

Time and bandwidth waste.

somewhere between childish and stupid.
Not to mention racist

Why is it racist

Cheap take off version of the old G commercial in the US circa early 2000’s. The G commercial was epic though.

crash and burn

That was silly. Reminds me of back in the 80's and 90's when the US truck manufacturers would do silly commercials. Like a Ford carrying a Dodge around in the bed. Or a Dodge out running a Ford through a field as it got stuck in the mud. Or Dodge stacking 3 or 4 Fords on top of one Dodge truck. LOL. As if that stuff is going to sell me a truck. LOL.

Just wait and see when the Quartermaster has the new electric G-model on the loading platform after the battery has run out.

Surprised at the lack of damage on the Grenadier after that. Those bricks can't be real.

l guess that's what lneos were trying to show, that the vehicle is tough. l don't find the video particularly offensive.

It's RDS Automotive group, a dealer, not INEOS Automotive. Also, it's skit, a joke, a commercial. They are not real bricks, you can see them bounce. Even on the check list he does not check "Actual Bricks"

 

[Jean Mercier]

Cardboard bricks ... I want to take the test too

Just think of how kind and nice your Pedestrian-Friendly plastic bumper will be to the cardboard bricks

And thank goodness it doesn’t have the hood checker plates or they could have decapitated someone

Two white guys getting the stupid asian guy to play the part of the crash test dummy.
There were a whole series of comedy sketches 30+ years ago of the same kind of thing.

And here I thought I was watching a lighthearted video of three dudes having fun with a Grenadier.

It was goofy. It made me smile.

Dave, I’m not sure what race you are, but I’m Asian, and didn’t interpret any of what was on the IG vid or on Benny Hill as racist. It’s funny…it’s a joke. Comedy’s job is to make fun of things, people, races, etc…it doesn’t make it racist. Racism is thinking your race is superior to another and treating other races unequally/less than.

Benny Hill was a funny show. But if BH offends you, get a load of this guy…he’s hilarious, YMMV

But there was no crash, there was no risk, there was no injury.

I think you're seeing something here that isn't.
