Come to think of it - this is probably intentional and a marketing trick:
They release a new unit which is a bit overpowered so that people feel the need to buy it. Then, a few weeks later they nerf it to how it should really be.

Good point, as according to @eggpatrick, the same happened to both cyber-wheel and orca bomber. The same holds true for the marauder, its damage and HP was nerfed (more on HP nerfing so marauder doesn't feel like an immovable wall). The opposite is true for the grenadier cause it was not strong enough to stand toe to wheel with a chem buggy. Right now, I'd ask that both marauder and grenadier should share the same stats, except one is tiberium resistant (resistant to tiberium fields but not chem buggies) and the other EMP's vehicles. I once did a test with both and pitted them against each other, the marauder won. I also tested the wolverine and widow maker, the widow maker won.
