What have we become?
Autobeat writers salivating over an SUV?

Bring back naturally aspirated. Detroit pressed steel.

Sigh. I had a dark red 2005 Jag-u-ar S-Type that I absolutely loved!

Sadly, I had a medical problem while driving it and crashed into the back of someone at a stoplight totaling the car.

Sounds like Jag is on it’s last legs.

No point in the F-pace without other <$150k models. Current dealers will have to close.

Maybe they think Land Rover will absorb some Jaguar sales?

Waymo uses Jaguar products extensively. I do not know what model they use.

The name “F-Pace” always makes me laugh. Let me explain. Jaguar used to run an F1 team, and they were slow when they departed the sport. F1 being a mostly European thing has commentators who spoke about how the Jaguar offerings lacked “Pace”. (Meaning they were slow).

FFWD to the launching of this road car. Was this Jaguar’s attempt at saying “We’re slow and we know it”? You know, F PACE!

Sad, but they are not alone.

Chrysler killed all their products too. Except a minivan which people are lining up to buy. (snort)

It wont be long before Jaguar and Chrysler joins Mercury, Oldsmobile, Plymouth, Pontiac,and etc in that great wrecking yard in the sky

Always wanted to buy a new Jag. Now that I come close to being able to afford one, I don’t like anything they’re building.

Sure do miss the world I grew up in...

Years ago, where I worked for reasons I never understood they hired a weird hippie type. I found out he had an old Jaguar saloon, I think it was a MK VII. He told me it had been owned by a rock musician who had replaced the sunroof with translucent red plastic, and the upholstery was redone in red velvet. I rode in it once, it was awesome!

“The first production EV from the brand will be the battery-powered Range Rover, also expected to debut before the end of the year.”

just in time when most auto buyers have discovered that EVs are generally a VERY bad idea ... great timing, JLR!
