If it’s Benz, RR, 911, people will pay more. For IG, sales are slow, really slow. As a lux SUV, generally, people don’t seem to want INEOS. As a rugged built tough SUV, people can’t afford it. They managed to put one foot on the train and the other on the platform….but the train is leaving.

Hence tha Arcane Works, etc. IA doesn't seem to want to change the bones of the vehicle (thankfully) but is making an effort to appease the "lux SUV" segment you mention. They'll probably have to go a little further than they have so far.

The 2024 numbers you cite are from two years of reservations and pre-orders and therefore not directly comparable.

Yes, they are and they don’t account for the delay due to seats but inventory on hand is high and not moving in our area. While there will be adjustments for each year it still doesn’t bode well for dealers tariffs won’t help the lux and just hurts the avg Joe 4x4 side even more.
