Let’s be realistic, the Grenadier is amazing!
They have built 20k+ vehicles and at least 5k US Spec vehicles. Just going with this, this is the first new production car I have been excited about since Spyker. I didn’t buy the last US delivered Spyker because of warranty concerns. They built less than 400 cars TOTAL.
At 20k in production, a market WILL exist for support. Mercedes built less Pagoda’s.
Forget all of that, I still remember the first US presentations. Ineos has a need for 20k vehicles for regular operation field vehicles for their oil field services. If you think about it, this in no way sounds crazy.
Ineos can clearly cycle vehicles throughout many years with dumbed down version of the Grenadier. Sir Jim didn’t get to his heights by being dumb. This is the default plan, which means we will lots of additional production vehicles even if the “Customer” disappears. He and Ineos are the biggest customer.
I honestly believe, especially for the US, we are going to see Ineos take the Grenadier to the higher market level.
It is an awesome car. I know people don’t want to hear this, but the reality is it is a much higher quality vehicle than I or anyone else expected. If it was $50k more, I would have bought it.
In January 2023, we had a 23 Tahoe Z71 (my daily), a 23 G63 ( our third and custom factory order), and a 23 “Barbie Bronco”. My wife started driving the Bronco but the G63 has gone to technical crap land. The G63 has been her daily for these last 10 years.
Now we have a Grenadier and Barbie Bronco. The G63 has gone to crap. When a Bronco trumps a G63, that is sad. I sold the G last month because as much as the G is cool, the Grenadier is hands down the winner regardless of price.
