I did that. Looks closer to the original than the current 90.

I can’t hate the latest Gelandawagens. I do hate the technology in them, but they still have incredibly large open cabins, with exceptional head room, and the driving position is great, with good visibility from the drivers seat.

Have you test-driven a Grenadier?

No, I only saw the preproduction demo.

You'd like it a lot better than the G-Wagen.

Any word on yours, Peter?

I like the body shape of the old Gwagons, and I have mixed views of how the current one look. I don’t like the exterior and interior design of the Grenadier. I don’t like the asymmetries and the roundness of the front end. With the interior, I’d want a traditional dash cluster.

Interesting you should bring this up.
I thought about it during my two test drives of the Grenadier.
On most long-distance trips in my 384k-mile Classic, I have an 8" tablet mounted in the middle of the dashboard. I know that both speedometer and tachometer are lying, so I never trust either. Temperature gauge and oil pressure light (that I normally should care for) are mostly for entertainment. Fuel gauge is relatively predictable, but I don't look at it often.
I could bulldoze the instrument panel in the Classic completely and not miss much.
