    I agree with you about the sela green with a white roof. That's my go-to color for Grenadier.

    • @MyAutomobileObsession

      It has a classic safari-type look in that color. It's amazing how much a contrast roof (white or black) can really enhance the look. Thanks for commenting!

    I’ve seen them all in person, both on cloudy and sunny days, and that Britannia Blue is gorgeous.
    The Magic Mushroom looks pinkish in person. The Sterling Silver has a lot of blue hues in it, to the point where it can be mistaken for a light blue in some lights.

    • @MyAutomobileObsession

      Perfect color choice! I think people don't realize how the contrast roof really sets off the look of the Grenadier. I know you will love it and should not lose any sleep over making that choice. December will be here before you know it. I should also think that yours will arrive as a 2025 model. Congrats!

      Hello, I am a fan of your Ineos Granadier videos because you reveal many technical aspects of these cars. Ineos has already arrived in Mexico and I want to order a 2025 fieldmaster, so I would like, if possible, for you to talk about what is coming for these cars in the year 2025 with that technical touch that you put in your videos. Thanks for your work.

    IF, repeat, IF, they imported the diesel, I would order/buy one…
    Lots of beautiful colors, but the most practical color in my high desert intense sun dusty area is the mushroom color.

    • @MyAutomobileObsession
      @MyAutomobileObsession  25 днів тому

      Sadly, diesel won't ever make it to the U.S. and it has more to do with regulatory issues and red tape than about anything else. Not sure that it's all up to INEOS or if they just didn't want to swim upstream on that one. But you're missing out on some great fun! Thanks for your comments!

    Donny Grey w/ red ladder frame is mine. Exceeded expectations. Prints as “Gun Metal Gray” on the build sheet. Who made that roof rack on the Inky Black truck you showed? Thanks.

    • @MyAutomobileObsession
      @MyAutomobileObsession  3 місяці тому

      Good question on the Roof Rack - I'm not sure as it's not a Rhino Rack. My dealer likes to play around with a few cars for their showroom and adds out-of-the-ordinary items to spruce them up. The Donny Grey was the hardest to capture the essence of on camera. You're spot on with your Gun Metal Grey in print comment. That just makes it a pleasant surprise once you finally see it in person...especially with a red ladder frame! Thanks for commenting.

      Great question! I'm currently traveling until Thanksgiving and don't have access to all of my notes on such things, but I'll accept that challenge and get more detail on the origins of the names as I've heard the story on many, but want to be complete/correct in my reply. Stay tuned...

    I ordered the Grey with a red frame. When the colors were first announced in development , the Grey was called GUN METAL GREY. When the vehicles were released, that had disappointedly changed to Donny Grey. I figured it was some softening to be politically correct. So, imagine my surprise when my window sticker said Gun Metal Grey.

    • @MyAutomobileObsession
      @MyAutomobileObsession  20 днів тому

      Small companies do interesting things! You are the 2nd owner who got the "Gun Metal Grey" on their Donny Grey Grenadier. You may be on track with the political correctness - that's so hard to keep track of as different counties see terms with different meaning. Thanks for sharing!

    I went with color call sign "Santa"... Sela Green with Scottish White roof and Halo Rad frame.... It was down to Eldorat Blue with white roof or that in the end. Nearly said sod it and go with Scottish White, least cost, and wrap it later.

    • @MyAutomobileObsession
      @MyAutomobileObsession  3 місяці тому

      Ho Ho Ho = it's actually looks great with that choice. The only reason I didn't go that direction was that my other car is a MINI JCW with, wait for it, Dark Green with a Red roof. It's got the makings of a sleigh, but doesn't really scream Santa until you point it out to someone. LOL. Thanks for your comments!

    I got Scottish White, simple and utilitarian. One quick question. Have you heard, if and when Ineos will offer a factory bull bar in the US?

    • @MyAutomobileObsession
      @MyAutomobileObsession  3 місяці тому

      Thanks for commenting and congratulations on the Scottish White - it's very classic looking. The "official" word is that the bull bar isn't offered in the U.S. because it conflicts with the front PDC sensors which are a mandatory option here in the U.S. The only country that the bull bar is sold as an add-on in the configurator is Australia, but you can jump through some hoops and arrange to get one. Even my dealer had suggestions on doing so, so probably not out of the question to obtain. Cost, however, may be rather steep.

    I just recently went to the dealer in Canada (being a Michigan resident that was the closest location )for a test drive and to see the colors. I initially thought that I wanted shale blue but after seeing it in person, I have mixed feelings. I might just go with a safe option like Donny grey 🤦

    Scottish White was my preference but Bought a Magic Mushroom, Inky Black roof Wagon because it’s all they had with the options I wanted. I couldn’t be happier, it looks awesome now with Leitner rack and White Knuckle sliders and the Eibach lift and 255 80 17 Cooper ST Max tires. I thought I’d satisfy my Scottish White need with a Quartermaster but instead I’ve ordered Eldoret Blue with Scottish White top and I’m wondering if I’ve made a huge mistake.

      Thanks for the question, but I'm not the expert on that kind of modification. I would recommend you have a look at the Ineos Grenadier Forum (google search) and see what others might be doing. I'm in an opposite situation where I wish mine was about an inch lower for garage clearance as I spend a lot of time in various parking structures. Hopefully, the forum will help you with an answer.

      Thanks for commenting - both on all black and for reminding me to dial up the energy. I'm a work in progress on the UA-cam stuff, but forget that I need to present a little over-animated in order to come out more energetic on the finished video. So, thanks for mentioning it. Now, as for all black. I love them, but tend to do every third new car in black as I get reminded just how much extra effort there is to keeping a black car looking great, so I rotate favorite colors. But all black is truly a classic - undeniable.
