Came to post the pic of the brush bar. Beat me to it!

I like it. And I wonder if that bumper might be just a bit less lower lip looking. Is it shorter than the others? Only drawback I see to that brush bar is that it takes away the ability to stand on the bumper. I'd want one integrated into the bumper. But it really does fix that front end.

I wonder why they are running without a bed for testing... Could they be offering a no-bed-from-the-factory option so that you can easily bolt a flatbed or camper to it? The wheel well seems to suggest that this is not what will be here when the bed is in place. And that rear window can't be the final design.

Only getting $450 down, likely not enough to keep the tire kickers away...

Got them on the same timelines for the UK and the US markets. I still haven’t seen anything about dealer networks. Has anyone?

I saw on some Grenadier Fb group that the Ineos guys were saying that Options/Colors/Prices will be published next week. I’m definitely putting down a deposit

It makes zero sense to buy this first year vehicle from a first year (auto) company that has zero US based locations, unknown supply and support channels, and zero track record for dealing with retail customers. That's said, I'm all YOLO on this one. I just can't find anything I like here enough, and it's basically a 2022 defender in my eyes.

Maybe get 2, 1 for the DD, 1 as support and parts vehicle.

I don’t know. Could it be worse than some hodge lodge Defender rebuild that you either work on yourself in free time and sits around or struggle to find an independent shop to work on?

It’ll come down to what my wife likes driving. She’s pretty into the Land Cruiser Prado and loves the two door models. I’m leaning towards getting a Bronco to replace the GX daily/airport car in the US.

I'm in for the refundable rounds. My guess is there will be another round or two increasing in price, the last being a non refundable reservation.

If they meet the design goal, this could be my last fossil fueled vehicle ever...

I’m supposedly getting my link to put my deposit down on the 30th. I will need to wait though. Probably looking at four to five years. But I’m super interested in what all you will come up with here.

For those that have yet to receive any emails related to the video tomorrow I just wanted to add that received a reminder email just now. Twice since I guess registered 2 different emails for whatever reason.
