Oh I don’t know. This photo makes me want to drive. Something with big V8 and a dozer blade on the front.

British my arse. Jaguar Land Rover is an Indian company. That’s why they suck even worse than the British did.

I think hybrid is the way to go.
Gas engines are good at idling.
Electric is good at accel, and decel actually recharges them.

The iconic Jaguar and Land Rover logos are prominently displayed on a modern building, signifying luxury automotive excellence and British heritage.

Calling Miss Amelia to the rescue.

Last month, prototype passenger rides received overwhelmingly positive reactions from global media

Following the global media into Eurotrash hell.

“Last month, prototype passenger rides received overwhelmingly positive reactions from global media”

Mistake number one. They don’t sell cars to the global media.

Mistake number two. The longer they go from designing, producing, and selling cars and satisfying actual buyers, the harder it will be to get back into the practice.

Does that look like a crew you want designing and building your car?

Would you board an aircraft if that was the crew that designed and built the aircraft?

Jaguar needs to get back to what they used to do.

If I were ever to buy an electric car, it would need a gas backup.

I'll never forget the old British guy I got assigned to work with on a Jaguar assembly plant layout. I was his computer drawing guy. In his accent, it was Jiggy-wire. Cracked me up.

He was a great guy guy to work with. I've no idea if he ever got that plant built or where it was if it happened. I got moved on to other projects.

That picture you offered seems like it might scare any self respecting Jaguar off. Like WAY OFF.

What's with the guy with the bite taken out of his afro? Wait, guy? I don't really want to know.

I’d get a good pack mule before I’d buy a Faguar piece of junk.

My experience with British cars was in the early 70’s, I worked on a lot of them as a mechanic out of high school. They were always quirky cars. The early XKE Jaguars were fun to drive but really miserable to work on.

There was fury in some quarters, but that is not the reason. The reason is that EV lithium battery technology is junk science - shit. Failed. Doesn’t work and never will. Insurance companies will shut it down because no one in their right mind would all some Chinese shitbox parked in an underground garage to take down a Billion dollar building because it got a few transistors overheated. And, the entire carbon footprint movement is also junk science.

"Jaguar Land Rover 'on brink of going back to petrol' after fury at 'woke' rebrand"

Despite the best efforts of Jaguar engineers, they were unable to find a way to get all-electric cars to leave oil spots on the driveway.
