Nice-looking car ... but it looks like it is electric, big no-no ...
Yes, it is an EV..............Rolls, Bentley, Aston-Martin all the big Super-Luxury carmakers have EVs............
Either going to be a trend setter or failure. Some interesting lines. What may have doomed the car was the marketing to gays, that will turn off many potential buyers. Of course it is a niche market car, apparently marketed to another niche group….. time will tell, RIP Jaguar……
I’ve been on an Angry Old Man streak lately, so here goes: Good Lord. Perhaps its that I completely lost respect for the company when it released its bizarre ads a couple of year back, but this car does absolutely nothing for me. Well, actually it does. It reminds me that we are living in a Brave New World wherein brutish, bulky, soulless design has become, somehow, a ‘thing’, a style that some people are drawn to. So many that major manufacturers produce goods to appeal to that segment of the population. It is very well designed. It has a theme, the proportions are correct, and its aesthetics are consistent. It’s just sterile and uninspiring, not unlike much of our society today. And no, it’s not just that I’m getting old and don’t like change. For example, and with respect to Jaguar in particular, the now ancient 140 and 150 models were elegant, classy, and muscular, and completely Jaguar. So were the E-types. The XJ-S Coupes were a significant shift in design, and some at the time were NOT fans, but to my eye they were beautiful and quite Jaguar. So I’m absolutely up for new ideas, and new looks. This thing, however, leaves me completely flat. I shall now have a second cup of coffee, and pet my cat... :)
