Ladies & Gents,
I offer for your consideration the Ineos Grenadier. While still in the development stage the developers are pretty bold about claiming it will be on the market in 2021, COVID complications not withstanding. I have to ask, what are your thoughts of this beast? The resemblance to the Defender is so clear that JLR sued over it begging the question, if a 2021 version of the “real” Defender was possible then why did JLR not just do so? I’ve driven the 2021 Defender and it’s a respectable steed despite my initial reluctance to like it. (This isn’t too different than my initial discontent with Daniel Craig as James Bond but I turned out to be painfully wrong about that too.) It appears that it was quite possible all along if this Grenadier comes to fruition. My heart longs for a Land Rover Defender but all things considered this looks like an awful tempting option. Do you think this is a real threat to JLR sales of the new Defender platform?
