Coming from a person who considers an LR4 a viable off-road vehicle, in a state where nearly all ROW 110s are legal, it is pretty funny.
You have no valid arguments.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but a 1993 110's NAS MSRP was $39,900, which is $84,882.07 in today's dollar. If that's accurate, then historically, the Grenadier's pricing is not out of line. Unfortunately, I've been unable to find UK MSRPs for comparison.

Aye
I'm sure I could talk myself into spending the money, but for me it doesn't have that cool factor, it just doesn't resonate with me the way the NAS Defenders did.
that’s because wages haven’t risen at the same rate as inflation
Growing up I thought a 100k salary was a big deal, with inflation that number would be almost 200k now.
It's crazy

For real, I remember my dad telling me he got a raise to 50k a year in 1980 and that just sounded astounding to me. 184k now.
Good move. That is a toy, a want not a need. And if you are going to spend your hard earned dollars on a want there are better options. If money isn't a concern then rock on.
That's all fine and dandy. And like I said, if you have the money and it floats your boat, great. I could buy two Tacomas for that price. After I brought them home I could outfit them in ways to numerous to list here, as a search for aftermarket parts would turn up page after page after page. Do a search for Ineos Grenadier and tell me what you find. So, its a really expensive "workhorse" off-road vehical that can't be modded in any advantageous way. Where have I seen that before?I think it's a sweet truck....a fantastic and fascinating truck...as well as an important non-establishment objet d'art that only comes along once in a great while. But it also has some shortcomings and it's overpriced. That being said, I can't wait to drive Peter's.
Have owned both. Each were great. As well as a ‘95 D90. And others. For me just don’t need all the electronics involved with new vehicles.

So, I was thinking I would shift my focus to a full sized pickup truck to replace my Sequoia. My wife crapped all over that idea as she hates pick up trucks, even if she doesn't drive them. Considiring she is a good sport to the Rover, RZR, current stable of dirt bikes and trailers, and the past revolving door of toys, I am not going to push on that. This brings me back to SUV's that can tow at least 7,000 pounds. Jeeps and Bronco's can't, and this puts me into the likes of Tahoe, Expedition, new Sequoia, etc. Any Sequoia, and espeically Sequioa TRD currently cost more than the Grenadier and I am not all that interested in Tahoe's and Expeditions.
Trading style for size, I am at least staying in the game by placing a pre-order for a low spec Grenadier and will keep thinking until I get the price sheet from the dealer and have to fully commit. Only options I am adding are lockers, blue paint, white roof, and floor mats at the moment. I may bail on the color scheme and go back to Scottish White as PM did, not sure yet.
