Got this message from my dealer today ...
I don't like the opening ... Dear "Mercier"
Should be "Dear Mr Mercier" or "Dear Jean"
I don't like the language, should be Dutch and French, and to be fair also German. Not "only" English, that isn't a national language.
But OK saved me some translation time for the forum (y)
I highlighted two bits of phrases ...

OUR FIRST SHOWROOM IS OPEN!
VISIT US AND DISCOVER THE GRENADIER.
Dear Mercier,

The wait is finally over. We are happy to announce that as of today, our very first INEOS Grenadier showroom in Lokeren is officially open. As our loyal follower, we want you to be the first to know.

Our brand-new showroom features a stylish industrial interior with a mix of tactile wood and metal finishes, modern lighting and a comfortable waiting and seating area with the feel of a modern lounge. The showroom showcases the Grenadier and its various options and accessories, allowing you to discover the vehicle's unique design and capabilities first-hand. Our showroom currently houses several INEOS Grenadier models which are waiting for you to be discovered.

TEST DRIVES AND RESERVATION DELIVERIES.
We welcome you to visit our showroom and explore the Grenadier in all its glory.
Test drives are not yet available, but will be by the end of March. Of course, we will keep you updated once the vehicles are ready to be tested by you.

Some of the first customer sold vehicles have arrived as well, which is very exciting. Our Grenadier Experts will contact you as soon as your vehicle is ready to be picked up.

I have been dealing with factories around the world for decades and names get lost in translation and customs easily
At one time my email address was davidboreland@ and the company I was dealing with used a standard format in their emails as first letter of first name and full surname
So they assumed I was Mr D Avidboreland
It took months to clear that up and about 20 variations.

Recently I finally convinced the people at the factory to stop calling me Mr Boreland and just call me Dave
So finally I am now Mr Dave

When it comes to filling in forms and things like e-registration/documentation my blood pressure rises and I feel the urge to flee.
A fight or flight reaction you could say.
There is nothing good to be gained fighting these things.
Give me a pen and one of those new fangled fax machines anyday.

Called into the local dealer/agent earlier this week... their official "Ineos agent office furniture" had arrived shortly beforehand and they were unpacking. There were some half dozen thin metal folded edge bench-tops engraved with a large assortment of Grenadier engineering graphics ... industrial chic par excellence ! (y)

You should have looked inside, in case an invoice was there. I'd love to know what they are being charged for them.
