It’s hideous. Did they have muskRat consulting?
If there ever were a car that I would conceivably shove up my own ass, this would have to be the one.
No sharp edges, glossy finish, and a 600hp electric motor? Sign me up.
Appearance gets sales on debut, but I’m still riding on a trusty, utilitarian Ford Probe
It’s tempting, but it lacks a flared base. Never shove anything in your ass that doesn’t have a flared base.
Without a base, without a trace
Looks like the 1992 Animated Batmobile, but not as cool.
Ok the logo is shit, but damn, that pink car looks extremely boring and generic.
Exactly. Looks like AI made. No emotions but aerodynamic, just like every other EV.
I heard they’re not making any cars this year. They just stopped production to sell their existing inventory or something. Sales are way down. It surprises me because they make Land Rover and people really like those.
That’s exactly why Jaguar is stopping production. Their best selling cars in recent years have been the SUV models by a long way to the point where the saloons were barely selling at all anymore, but that means they are eating into Landrover’s market share. They are rolling the dice with this move because the alternative is to give in and retire the brand.
Pretty sure you meant sedans, but now I really REALLY wanna drive a saloon. With the cowboy swinging doors and everything.
Saloon is British English for sedan. But don’t let that stop you from putting swinging suicide doors on your sedan
Thanks! Now I know! And I shall!
Am I missing some grammatical update that changes status verbs (is/are) to plural form when using a singular group name? “jaguar are doubling”? I keep seeing this across lemmy. Is it regional? American here, always taught “jaguar is” and “the band is” etc
It’s a British thing. They will often refer to a company or other organization as a plural entity when reporting on it.
Thanks, interesting. Does that occur in India as well? I suppose I can see the reasoning (Jaguar is made of thousands of people, so jaguar “are” deciding things as a group so plyralizing the verb gives identity to the individuals) but it still sounds awful to me. Then again, it’s all about sound to me, right? I’d still say “The Beatles are deciding” despite being a group name.
The “unexpected” mixing of upper and lower case looks more like a shit explanation of wanting all the letters to be curvy, but the same size.

I need this on a Tshirt.
Who reported on this? The J is uppercase as well…
I knew I forgot something:

This looks like an 80’s marketing attempt to make a low class brand an ultra-high end brand. Except Jaguar is a high end brand already. It appears that the overly masculine “jaguar” brand is becoming a very feminine looking brand. This feels like a cosmetics line more than a luxury automobile. jaguar lipstick, for the animal in you. rawwwrrrrrrrr!
Ahhh, designers coming up with some stupid mistakewhich is then sold by the marketing department who just uses a lot of slick and fancy words to make it sound expensive
They deleted every posts on their Instagram page. They erased their history. Man that’s so sad.
Hot.
Of all the things to whine about, holy shit.
