'This rebrand and ad campaign is the perfect answer to the question: ‘How do we alienate our legacy owners while not attracting new buyers?’

Pretty much sums it up for me.

Glad I didn't buy that XF now. On the plus side, Pony can get back into Jags now.

S'funny you should mention this, as last Sunday I passed an Aston and, what I thought was, a big Audi, in anti focus colours on the Fosse Way.

Probably because Lord Elon, Andrew Tate and Bev Turner got into a froth about it. (Musk should have asked his brother's wife what she thought of it - Kimbal's missus is a bit more 21st century :thumbup: ).

Orders for what exactly? They don't have any cars on sale and won't for some time :hmmm:

They might have a few SUVs lingering on in other markets, but this ^^^ rebrand and advert is related to a car which won't even be revealed until next year.

Plus the small fact Jaguat don't have shares.

That's a different Jaguar? JAGX is Jaguar health care.

The car company is part of TATA Group.

Ah.

What are the odds that the wrong share has stoofed as a result of the righteous indignation of a few WASP 'influencers'? :lol:
