Certainly been doing accompanied test drives in Australia.. a friend in New South Wales has just ordered one!They are taking money from people but have never allowed anybody to drive it yet….strange.

Yes i saw one of the videos but would prefer an independent journalist opinion from the driving seat. Cant see why they would not be a good vehicle and was intending to look closer at them but my pick up was getting too problematic to run another couple of yearsCertainly been doing accompanied test drives in Australia.. a friend in New South Wales has just ordered one!
I wonder whether they could be pushed back again using basic tools? It has to be practical and comfortable at the end of the day. I want a cut-price G-Wagen not an expensive 1980’s type Defender. For work? Yes certainly but although likely to be used only occasionally for rear seat passengers [as is my Ford Ranger], when it is used it must be fit for purpose. My Ranger mostly carries tools and straps and cow medicines and paraphernalia in the second row and has to be ‘mucked out’ somewhat when passengers need a lift.My son saw one turning into a wedding venue , across the valley from here. Apparantly Ocean BMW were also having a launch event for their latest tossermobile.
A local man tried the Utility Grenadier and wrote on the grenadier forum, that they had pushed the rear seats so far forward that it was very difficult to get in and out of the rear doors.

@Cab-over Pete with his AEC?G-wagen for me. Looks fudging cool. Next step after that is either a Unimog or Pete's truck.
