Jaguar - This is just wrong!

Everyone's trying to make their own Qashqai.

I think it's a flattery thing. If you make all the cars look fat, then some of the drivers will be more to scale...

The car in the OP looks like a BMW mated with an Audi and gave birth to that.

Sorry Jaguar fans, but I stopped loving them when they brought out their first diesel cars a few years ago.

I appreciate there may be economic justifications for them bringing out more fuel efficient vehicles, but in my book Jaguars should always have a big petrol engine with lots of carbs and lots of exhaust note.

As to the OP photo, I am sorry but the car just looks sh*te to me......

It's just a car.

I am not sure how far between concept and production this is but there is a new Jaguar on the way-


I can put up with these ugly great cars when they are made by Range Rover or even Audi or Porsche but Jaguar; it just somehow seems wrong.

Its a tw*t mobile for ''brown shoe wearing'' business tw*t's !!

The opposite of these two must have been VW / Skoda They didn't put the VW badge onto the Skoda, they put the German engineering into it, and turned it into a desirable well made and reliable that is basically a cheaper VW car

VW is a good example of doing it right. They recognise their place in the market and keep to it. Instead of making cheaper VWs they make Skodas; which are broadening their market range without damaging their brand.
The did mess up with the phaeton luxury limo though.

Don't think its a good direction for jaguar to take their brand in to be honest. On past jags, I agree with the e type comments, never seen the appeal myself, but, strangely I used to think the xjs cab was really bad. It may well be, but I really would love to have one, I think it's an age thing. There was one at an independent dealership locally for months I used to pass every week, £8k. I don't regret not buying it though, probably would have spent another 10k getting it de rusted and up together!

The unkindest cut of all?

Alfa are at it too. link
And it's just as wrong as the OP

An aspiring 4x4 if ever there was one.

It's just a car.

But it's not a car, it's a giant Dirtbox.

Although it won't see any dirt.

 

[colly]

Uncalled for, uncouth, and uncool. Horrible.

The traditional Jag look has completely disappeared from new Jags. It is a shame.
