@jpm @Kels_316 the Grenadier looks like dogshit. It’s the PT Cruiser of the 2020s, a pure exercise in contextless nostalgia. No apology to the losers and the haters

[kels_316@aus.social]

@liamvhogan @jpm I can no longer possibly comment on the aesthetics or functionality of the Ineos Grenadier nor any future or past vehicles from the Ineos brand.

@Kels_316 @liamvhogan @jpm Everything which Ineos touches goes to shit
- Sky Cycling team
- Nice Football Team
- All Blacks Rugby Team
- America’s Cup Yachts
- Manchester United Football Team

@franksting @Kels_316 @jpm it’s at least better than the modern FJ Holden which is a design that wishes clearly for aesthetic death

@liamvhogan @franksting @jpm I wont hear slander on the GWM tank though - that is a car that knows exactly what it is and what it is for. File it with the Suzuki Jimny.

@franksting @Kels_316 @jpm as a general observation. Car manufacturers are doing the Retro design thing and consistently get it wrong (Mini Cooper etc.) while motorbike manufacturers doing the same thing get it right. Triumph Bonneville and RE Eliminator, Moto Guzzi v7

@liamvhogan @franksting @jpm I walked past a new Tenere the other day and whoever designed that needs to be paid a lot more than the guy who did the BMW GS adventure bike.

@franksting @Kels_316 @jpm Royal Enfield Interceptor I should say. Handsome bike for the very right price

@liamvhogan @franksting @Kels_316 @jpm you mean FJ Cruiser right? The Toyota fake 4WD
