New Secret new 4x4 VR viewing.
Has anyone else been invited to go and see a VR representation of a secret new 4x4? I’m going to London in mid Sept. I think it Project Grenadier but looks like it is organised through a market research company so can’t be certain. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Yes I was, but the travel was not realistic for a VR test. Possibly if it was a real driving day. 80" 1948

Trains £50 for me, but they give you £100 for attending so, there's enough spare change to buy a can of coke and a bag of crisps 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Well, you put some goggles on and look at some 3D pictures I guess. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Well that was interesting, but I had to sign an NDA ☹️ But, if what they showed me comes to fruition, all those concerns with the New Def will be a addressed by this vehicle. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Hmm. That's ^ an interesting comment.

How long do you think the wait will be?

Some say "forever".

What's your take?

What I saw was only a 3d rendering allbeit quite detailed. Didn't see the interior at all. They mentioned BMW engines, but that's already public knowlwedge. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Have been invited, but it's not a viable option for me due to the distance involved, which is a real shame because I find the invitation fascinating!

Its worth going if you can. I found some pretty reasonable off peak train tickets from Manchester to London that made it worthwhile. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Fair enough, it’s probably not worth that sort of trek. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

What the market research company should do is run events all over the country.

Making it London-based means the data they gather is skewed because only those within reach of London (for reasons of access, time, finances) will attend.

The thoughts of (for example) Scottish prospective owners won't be well represented in the data, just South-Easterners Confused  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top
