I was expecting this to be 100,000 or even 150,000 Euros, but it is actually priced between 59,000 to "under" 80,000.

BMW I6 diesel and gasoline engines.

its aggressively buttony.

Love it, but that BMW shifter looks out of place.

It's like a 1999 7-series, mid 2000's Range Rover and a 787 had a baby. It's wonderful.

I miss physical buttons.

Yes! There should be a chunky, leather-wrapped lever in its place.

Speaking of which I love the manual T-case selector.

I love all the switches and buttons!

Love the abundance of physical controls. Placement of some of them is questionable.

I've most of it... Would never buy it with a solid front axle though

What I do not understand is why there is a German flag on the thing. It was designed by a company in Austria (owned by a Canadian) and is built in France.

Apropos, the guy behind this project was one of the most financially powerful backers of Brexit.......and then he moves production out of the UK to the EU.

Yeah, but the factory is in the old German part of France.

I didn't see any point in starting a new thread to post this story...

Ineos has halted Grenadier and Quartermaster production due to a supplier of a trim component facing financial difficulty.

Ineos would not name the supplier but industry insiders believe it is Recaro.

Ineos production is expected to resume in early 2025.
