I'd ditch my Gren in a heartbeat for that.

Yes, but seeing that it only meets a 20 year old emissions standard we will never get our hands on one.

Why? The key specs are obviously the same. The only big advantage is the Euro 3 emission standard. Which you won't have in a civilian version.
And honestly: The Grenadier looks _much_ better!

I prefer manual switches but this looks ugly and cheap to me, like something used by combloc conscripts during the Cold War.

Gotta agree with @TD5-90 - the engine is better but that's pretty much it.
