Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

Yeah what is this thing? Never heard of it.

Jeep with a B58 sounds nice though.

Ineos Grenadier. My friend has had a reservation for years now. I think they're gonna be like 60-70k

Does it make sense over a V8 jeep or a defender ?

Over the Jeep yeah, but the Defender is tough to argue against. I think this thing is more rugged inside and has a higher towing capacity. My friend got to play around in one at some off-road show last year and said the switches etc inside felt amazing, like they were built to last.

It’s for people who want a brand new old school defender. I think it looks awesome but fit / finish / interior I wouldn’t necessarily expect new land rover levels. Maybe more comparable to the Wrangler.

But it looks so much cooler than either.

And you get to service it at Porsche Main Line

I guess I don’t see anything old school about a B58, stuffed into an unknown body… kind of a terrifying thought really unless, you’re some sort of Hollywood actor trying to stand out in a sea of land rovers

Image is everything, baby

Can’t deny the looks. It’s pretty decent … but a bespoke off roader that will get serviced at Porsche seems to a … peculiar proposition. You’d think a Toyota dealer would make sense since they are already know how to work on that engine and it’s a bit more rugged

No, they will be sold out of a standalone facility we are building locally.
We have Porsche, Ferrari, McLaren(x2), Lamborghini (x3), BAC (x3 - sole US importer), Lotus, Bugatti, Koeningsegg, Pininfarina, and now Ineos in the fleet.

Base pricing is 70, tops out at mid/upper 80s for a Trailmaster and a few options like the safari roof panels and leather and roof racks.

We were handed our market this week and have 600+ paid deposits, and starting to confirm builds now.

The safari windows are cool. I’d def order those.

$2000 dollhairs for pop up roof windows.

Everyone needs a little safari in their life

Seems like a reasonable rate for two moonroofs on a pretty low volume vehicle.

The extra hardware/seals and future warranty claims cost money

I still want my tent top, but this thing looks pretty cool.

Lord have mercy. If this had less miles I’d be super tempted

I appreciate that and I’ll let you know if we want to do that. But I’m poor now that I got a house, I was hoping to find something for $10k but it’s all clapped out Nissan Altimas with unpainted bumpers at that price point.

My buddies illegal babysitter is rolling in a 7k altima he helped her buy. And it has been flawless for the last 2 years CVT AND ALL. There is a reason they are popular.

Sounds like a porn title.
