Magna US, Detroit, prepares a car for the Rebelle Rallye. Interestingly it is not their home made G Wagon nor a Grenadier or a Quartermaster....

....it is a Jeep Gladiator.

This was filmed in Detroit. Magna is a major supplier to Stellantis, specifically Jeep in the U.S.

Magna Steyr are part of Magna International.
Grenadier is a heavy duty overlander. Not really a rally car unless stripped out and heavily modified.
And expensive to break.
And no vanity mirrors

If this was done by the US marketing arm of magna it's hard to see how they would do this without using a US based client vehicle.

Magna (Canadian company) is a major supplier of automotive components globally. Mostly unglamorous transmission parts.

Like many of those companies such as Asin, Tenneco, Gestamp etc they are not exactly household names.

Their Graz subsidiary is a much smaller part of their business.

Jeep is struggling right now. I assume Jeep tossed them a vehicle to use. Coming from the bicycle racing world, The bike I rode/raced was the bike given to me.
