G74 in 2029? A G Wagen killer?

Is this for real or some guy making AI videos? G Wagen killer and Lexus killer. Lexus & Toyota's new twin turbo V-6 are having major problems. Major failures, underpowered and have poor gas mileage.

Even looks like a Toyota mixed with a Suzuki Jimny. Keeping the BMW brand focus going of knocking off other designs.

This is AI slop, the video description straight up admits it. There are no official or verified images of a BMW G-wagen competitor. Though personally I'd love to see one.

If BMW wants to compete with the G, they should just rebadge/rework an INEOS Grenadier. It already has a B58 under the hood ("bonnet" for you Brits).

The sales manager at my local BMW dealership drives INEOS Grenadier. Sir James Ratcliffe, CEO of INEOS is a chemical engineer by education...he is a smart. The B58 and ZF transmission was a good choice. They detuned it slightly for more torque. A very nice vehicle. A northern English farmer guy did a very good video on YT. A real world user who tows stuff and works the land/mud. He loves it.

Not sure the world needs another "rugged" SUV that won't see anything more rugged than the speed bumps at Costco.
