    Said to be an EV. Has a hood longer than a Mustang. And a front shaped like a school bus to make the drag coefficient explode and kill its range. Must be a fake product and a marketing ploy.

    They should price it 2-5 million. It's a statement of "Look I can afford the most expensive car".

    That's.. actually not a bad looking car. I mean if I had infinite money to spend on a supercar I can certainly think of a dozen others I'd rather go for, but given that most people were expecting an eyesore, I think the new Jaguar looks pretty good while also admittedly being very unique. Looking forward to seeing it on the streets.

    They are blatantly trying to shock people and go against the brand heritage to get publicity, looks like something from the Cybertruck playbook. Sales and reputation have been declining for a while, maybe this is a last chance gamble. It could work out for them.

    What is with the new "JaGUar" logo?!? Leaning into Jeremy Clarkson's pronunciation "ja-goo-are"?

    So, is Jaguar now a purely marketing/visual arts company?
