New Belgian Grenadiers !

[Martin S]

On Monday, I spotted these 4 grenadiers on their way to a Belgian dealer, no doubt making new owners very happy !!
Unfortunately I was driving 'my other car', so not my Grenadier, while spotting them.
I do have the impression our tiny urban country, about the size of a large US city, has proportionally lots of Grenadiers and we are also lucky to have 3 dealers, Ofc 1 in each region ( Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia). Our country Administration is quite complex but at least it does not have insane car taxes like our neigbours France and the Netherlands, which poses a difficult threshold for sales.
Anyway, happy with these new additions.

I agree with the insane taxes of France and the Netherlands, But with due respect, I am not sure the Grenadier is a big success in Belgium. Very few new registrations the last months.
And yes, we are a tiny country. In my youth, I was at a conference where Philippe Bodson spoke, the General Manager of the Glaverbel Group (Glass making factories). I remember only one phrase of his speech: "Belgium, a city of 10 million inhabitants" ...
