Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
That's comically bad. Then again, the german competition is very hard to beat unless you are bringing fresh ideas to the table like the Silicon Valley EVs.
No it's not. If Lotus can turn it's company around, Jaguar definitely can. It's one electric sedan away from being relevant again. In 2019 the I-pace won car of the year.
I love my JAG SVR, the only car that gives me a smile. And I had a ton of cars.
Theyβre so much fun to drive. Not fond of the new 6-cyl, the old supercharged one was more fun, but otherwise the current lineup is pretty good.
My problem, at a Jaguar dealership, is getting cars. We could sell so many more if we got them! Production these days in JLR world is going so much to Land Rover. Understandable to prioritize the Defender and new Range Rover, since theyβre printing money for JLR, but we would like to sell some Jags also. And please bring us the plug-in hybrid F-Pace from Europe, Iβve had many an American customer ask for it. Pay attention to Jaguar, bring us that electric XJ, and it would be such a better brand.
THink they are the best cars to drive in the last decade. I have never liked the steering feel on any of the German cars i have driven the past decade and a half.
Their new inline 6 cylinder engine is the smoothest in its class. Plus they have a better warranty than like of Mercedes and Audi and BMW.
But a lot of people do not know about that. I think where they lost is in the social media echo chamber where people buy badges and not cars that are fun to drive.
Still they are going all electric by 2025. So the brand still has a chance to shine.
I'm willing to disregard abysmal reliability when a car look as great and sounds as glorious as the F-Type R. But I see absolutely no reason to buy any other car on their lineup when there are so many better alternatives.
I've always thought JLR should exclusively use Jaguar for sports cars, grand tourers and supercars. If they want to keep making saloons revive Rover and use the Range Rover styling queues and interior on the XF and XE platforms. LR and RR are the strongest parts of the buisness. No one cares about the Jag saloons regardless of how good they are because all they care about in the Jag range is the F-Type.
I love mine π€·ββοΈ
As a murican I was always a bit confused by Clarksons "Jaaaaag" bit in Top Gear since people just don't hold Jags in that high regard here, but I just went along with it and assumed it was one of those funny Britishisms, like pronouncing Nissan like Nissin or saying "You're not a true petrolhead until you drive this one Italian brand I literally never heard of until I started watching Top Gear"
