I think that red is going to look fantastic in the sun and the black roof is a great choice.

I really haven´t be sure. I liked the idea of a colour. For hunting I thought of a red or green one so that the car is not to visible for the animals (that might be more intersting for me than for the animals )
My wife opted for green and my kids for red. As the IG is hopefully something to last quite long I have choosen the red one. Fancy me!

Children are the most important thing there is. I don't know you but hopefully I will one day. Hunting takes place for maybe 20 days a year. Children are 365 days a year, hopefully for 50 years or more.
Despite popular belief most animals have very poor colour vision

Yes, and green and red are the same (probably brown?) for most mammals. A dark red is just the perfekt camoulage... But I haven´t seen many hunters with a red or orange car so far .

My Jaguar is a similar red as yours and I love it. But after 12 years I fancied a change. I have ordered the car with non leather seats and will be getting them re upholstered in leather once I get it

Porsche would always be forgiven for any fashion misstep. The example above was a typical 70s design and in that time high fashion.

Today, we smile.

Thinking about the red Grenadier and taking into account what Dave has written, I think that the Grey/White leather combination with that dark red is a really good match.

I case of doubt: Ask your wife - if there is one.

Happy wife - happy man.

If I asked my wife there probably wouldn’t be an IG

And what do your kids say about sitting in the back? Comfy?

The kids always loved the 110. So they will like the IG as well

My wife = she is buying the IG for me

My kids = queuing up to drive it

Assuming so, but does anyone know for sure if the steering wheel is adjustable? It looks like there's a adjustment lever in one of the earlier pictures in this thread, but just curious to see if anyone has played around with it during a demo?

I saw a Prototype 2B at the Overland Expo in Colorado in August, 2022; there was a tilt adjustment for the steering wheel, but now I can't remember if it telescoped to adjust for reach. Sorry. Anyone know if the steering wheel telescopes?

Yes

 

[GrenADV]

Thanks for confirming, @stickshifter and @CountyV8!

 

[bemax]

Yes

Are you sure about that? I adapted the steering wheel last week for my test drive and I can only remember an up and down movement. But maybe I just didn´t pull.

 

[emax]

I can't image there is no telescopic adjustment. In particular in off road driving the driver position - and thus the wheel postion - is crucial.

 

[Shaky]

Surely that level of adjustment is a prerequisite in a modern vehicle, especially one of this price.

 

[DCPU]

Nobody panic...

I really like the idea of the saddle leather and the patina that would develop. However, the more I look at the black and gray tones, I think the brown/reddish hues of the leather will seem out of place.

I'm more interested in feel/function than looks.
