Projekt Grenadier

[spartree]

I signed up for notifications on the Grenadier and just got an invite to see the prototype (I expect others have gotten the same invite). Looks like June 8 in Calgary and you have to book your appointment ahead of time. That’s a Wednesday, so I’m not sure if I can manage to get down there, but will try to swing it. Anyone else get the invite and planning to go?

I saw that myself.....3 stops in Canada (hah!).    And there will not be a diesel option available in north america.

I thought I was signed up for notifications, and I've been getting some, but not the one to go see it.  How does one get signed up for that??

I suppose we should consider ourselves lucky that it’s not just going to Toronto. And yeah, would like to see a diesel option. In any case, I don’t think I’m seriously considering one, but wouldn’t mind seeing it in person. Will probably drive the 110 down there, assuming we can get the master cylinder sorted in time!

I’m not sure what options I selected that got me the invite. T’was quite a while ago now.

Look at the Australian spec with accessories.

Lucky Dawgs!!!!  They can get the diesel version

I’m not sure I’d want a modern diesel even if it were available. All the dpf bull crap and extra electronic controls make them a bit of a liability long term.

Not that a modern petrol is much simpler with the variable valve timing etc but at least you don’t have all that exhaust crap waiting to ruin your day as well.

I believe both are bmw units too so…yeah, there’s that too.

I'm out!

At this point I’d say I’m firmly passing on this vehicle and sticking with the 110 haha. After a few years of ownership my only real complaint with the 110 is how bloody slow it is and the excessive revs at highway speed. If I was itching to spend money, I imagine I could have the engine swapped and a modern auto installed for quite a bit less than the starting price on the Ineos…

Here's an interesting review of the Grenadier....still sounds like a nicer option to the new Ofender LOL



Still not available in Canada yet but "they wanted to wait until Canadian import duties on European-made vehicles were nixed, as of Jan. 1, 2024, under the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA)".

Still....it's not cheap....but it does come prepared.
