jeremy996 87 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I was really disappointed by that - trivial media fluff piece.  It could do with a long-form version with some explanations why the design team found them useful in the design process. I can guess some of the influences but I'd like a little more than pretty pictures. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say there is enough info in these 5 min and the majority might look until the end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Badger110 146 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 She interviewed my missus about her mini once upon a time  back on topic, i would've put the unimog above the g wagen as a bench mark 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I appreciate I am very much on the geeky end of the spectrum and probably not the target audience, but it was 4:50 and said very little.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites

missingsid 137 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Grenadier "Built on purpose" to look identical to a 110. Sorry but this just highlights why LR should have won the case. VBH is showing her age now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bowie69 1,442 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 There's as many similarities between the grenadier and g-wagen, as there are the old defender, imho. Â 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think there is a bit of FJ in it too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jeremy996 87 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Jim Radcliffe has gone on record as describing the Grenadier as a cheaper G Wagen. As a G wagen is stupidly expensive, it must be less than half-price! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but as MBTech and Magna Steyr did the engineering for both, his claim at least looks credible 🙂 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
