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?
They apparently are going upscale to the max...........
Waymo uses Jaguar products extensively. I do not know what model they use.
Total electric and totally unaffordable........
The F-Pace is a nice little SUV. Sporty.
The days of luxury sedans are largely over in the USA and Jaguar excelled at the saloon, along with luxury sports cars, generally convertible.
They need to focus on SUVs and 2.5 seaters to take to the country club.
The E-Type 2+2 started a long sorry downward spiral. Wouldn’t a nice Mk2 or updated 140 drophead be nice?
Concur. Mostly Obamaite regulation has interfered in the free market with respect to such sedans. Never mind the large wagons. Ironically, the Cadillac CT6 is still being sold in Red China.
Anyone remember “Cash for clunkers” too? I saw lots of Chevy Caprices and the like end up on dealers’ lots thanks to the government.
My wife loved her Jag XJ — big sedan with a massive supercharged V8 — 500 something horsepower — stuck to the road far better than it had any business doing.
Until she couldn’t reach up to a drive-thru window consistently.
Now she drives a Range Rover.
I have a 2004 Jaguar XJR that I absolutely love, when it’s runningđŸ˜€.
Going all EV and soon going out of business.
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
I-Pace, I rode in one last year around downtown Phoenix. It was quite the experience
What do they think will happen when their sales go to zero?.......
I had a 95 Caprice sedan, but unfortunately it had the 275 CID (4.3L) V8 and not the 350. Why they simply did not upgrade the older 305 CID, which was generally a solid motor itself, I cannot figure out. Was not pleased with the AC going on me before 100K either, or all four power windows going off track; the engine developing coolant leaks was the last straw.
