I’ve already watched this a couple of times to cleanse out the new one. This ad from 2015 wasn’t just a great ad, it would have made a great *movie*.

Both commercials suck compared to this Nissan and Van Halen classic.

Jaguar should have stuck with
Sterling, Cooper, Draper & Pryce.

Best I can tell is that Jaguar wants to save the planet by not selling cars buy funny shaped and colorful dresses.

I’m not seeing anything wrong with well executed V-12s.

YMMV.

I remember reading that Nissan’s ad agency did too good a job on that ad - many people couldn’t remember that Nissan was the product.

1. I didn't see that movie.
2. It is not my style to post things that are that type of vulgar. (There was an alternate Madman clip that I did NOT use for that reason)

Jaguar used to make the most beautiful cars. Their engines were for crap, but the rest of the car was impeccable. I owned a ‘72 XJ6. Absolutely adored it. Constantly overheated though. We even installed a fan inside the hood to blow air on the battery. Didn’t help much. But was a dream car in every other respect.

I haven’t seen that movie in ages. It was very funny, but also VERY blunt. Their take on Porsche was similarly raunchy.

The new ad is like a fever dream from The Fifth Element.

40 years ago Jaguar was making some of its worst, and most unreliable autos. My wife had a 1986 XJ6-L. It was an incredibly solid, safe car, but so unreliable that the independent Jaguar service specialist not only sent her Christmas cards, but birthday greetings. They were making a fortune off of the terrible build quality and general unreliability of Jaguars in those days, just before Ford made the blunder of purchasing them. When Ford tired of the $ bleeding they sold them to Tata Motors, and they seem to have brought them around. But now this.

When Ford bought them I hoped that Ford would go in heavy and overhaul Jaguar’s engineering and supplier chain, but alas, no.
