Postscript on the sale of my Grenadier

That seems to be a common thing in the UK for the start stop to reactivate after switching your car off , all my previous cars that have had it always resets

My BMW’s all stay in the last setting and my Mini Cooper as well. My Jeep Gladiator did not kept the setting. I don’t know if it’s because my BMW’s are M cars and the mini is a JCW or if it’s a BMW thing.

But as I said if you shim the start stop switch so it remains depressed you don’t have to fiddle with it again.

I've always had audis/seat , they all reset after being turned off .

It is ashame that it's not possible to have personalised options in the settings

I think there is a large group of us on here that would buy a bare bones model (myself included) if they were to make one.

20-30,000 of them a year every year though??
Somehow I doubt it, and then all of a sudden the Grenny wouldn’t exist.

I’m not even sure the mining and other industrial use corporate buyers want those anymore. Robust yes, 1980’s tech, and safety, definitely not..

Life is sometimes a compromise, and you do the best that you can.

Are you hard? Are you rock hard?

Hard to stomach? Or just plain hard?
I present the binary demographic of the Ineos forum

Thats where price comes in. Stripper, lockers, Gwagon body and chassis... 60k... everyone that has one is still likely in, and your market just ballooned with the number of Americans that could now afford it but don't want a jeep, the guys in Britain and Europe have their Defender replacement, and in Oz... The Toyota haters have a viable solid front axle option they too can afford. (I also would have made more utility with 4-6" more length in the load area and ditched the utility belt for larger gull wing window options, but thats a dead issue). Spend 4-5 years building the market and dealer network, then when it's time for the mid model refresh stir sales by adding in the "king ranch" interiors and double the price like ford does with an f250.

Right now it's too spendy for many in group A, and to shitty for those in group B.

It lacks a target market with this fit out. We're OK with it, but we're all fanboys of some sort ot another. One has to step out of the bubble.

They need the bare bones model so people can $$$ lux it into a lardy aspirationalo-mobile, the one hard men and women lust after.
