I’d prefer the SA Marauder, it’s a good town car.

They took care of that problem the driver’s seat is in the back facing rearward. ;-)

I’m guessing that those aren’t pneumatic tires.

Is there a special nook for the spring-loaded white flag?

Is that real armor or aluminum “armor” like the ridiculous high profile Bradley?

Well, it is nice if you want a lightly armored gun.
But if it hangs around in line of sight to a tank - ANY tank - it is dead.
I would have given it vertically launched ATGMs that could be remotely fired guided...

Actually, in recent years, the French produce good quality weapons and military gear and have a commendable record of bravery and competence in combat. And, as a visit to Normandy and other major WW II battle zones demonstrates, the ordinary French populace has a genuine appreciation for America's role in the liberation of France.
As for the Jaguar, it seems to be a well thought out design, with a heavier gun than the US Bradley and likely able to give a good account in both urban combat and the modern mobile battlefield. The wheel height and hull design seem especially suited to surviving mines and IEDs -- which may be a clue that the French Army anticipates an eventual need to deal with an insurrection based in the restive Muslim banlieues.

It does help to have a decent wire guided missile to use for ‘opportunity’ attacks. Running when faced with otherwise suicidal situations IS part of its mission
This vehicle is too thin armored for other than secondary battlefield situations (but in war there ARE LOTS of those situation).
Actually using them properly is a separate issue.
