I preferred Jaguars response to Mercedes Ride quality.

Jaguar managing director Rawdon Glover said taking new cars off sale was “intentional” as it looked to create a barrier between the old models and the new-look Jaguars.

He said: “We need to change people’s perceptions of what Jaguar stands for. And that’s not a straightforward, easy thing to do. So having a fire break in between old and new is, actually, very helpful.”

“New Jaguar is a brand built around exuberant modernism. It is imaginative, bold and artistic at every touchpoint. It is unique and fearless.

That last bit looks like Jag's marketing dept has been playing with a hipster architects dictionary doh

What a laugh, but monumentally sad.

1. Growler is not a word you should use in modern younger language. I will let you look it up, NSFW...
2. No one has done this before because no one wanted this.
3. Well that's pace done, just another electric zipper, but grace, this is becoming a rare attribute more and more.
4. I guess this allows room for the grill to get bigger and bigger in the modern manner

Grief, I find this world more baffling every day.

Yes typical management practise blowing smoke up each others arses tends to have this effect whilst Rome burns.

Ah, now I see what's going on. They are actually going to sell it in that wrap, only way it is going to stand out among the other soap bars being released now. Looking at you EQE/EQS etc etc etc

Probably worth about £30 now smile

A proper looking car with style, I bet you enjoyed that one.

Isn't it classic of modern cars. Replace simple glass by a TV screen & cameras. I wish someone built a basic car without all this added & sure to fail tech.

I like the early E-Type, but I would also rank the XK 120 and XK 140 above it.

It might be better regarded with a V12?
