Re: Go woke, or go broke...
I think everyone is getting very upset by a marketing campaign that is specifically meant to do that!
Look at the exposure they are getting
10/10 to the marketing department

Looks OK, on the assumption it's got a supercharged V8, V10 or V12 under the over compensating acreage of bonnet.
That it'll have a washing machine motor and a couple of 18650's duck taped to the inner wings makes it 1 million percent less OK

That would would break the 'no copying' rule. Lancia did it, years ago.demographic wrote: ↑Sun Nov 24, 2024 1:48 pm production will go from zero into minus figures and they'll actually start to take cars back off the road**

Re: Go woke, or go broke...
They say no copying, but it looks to me that someone has been sniffing round the RR Spectre pictures for their inspiration! Isn't that where Jaguar said they want to be? They better start schmoosing some high profile celebs to endorse it...

So all that dancing did in some way relate to a product!

Re: Go woke, or go broke...
Yup. It's hilarious. Car company not making much money selling cars to old, angry, white men with high blood pressure. Decide new brand, range and markets are required. Cue apoplexy....including from a bunch of old, angry, white men with high blood pressure that have never had* - and never will have a Jaguar.
It's just sweeeeeeeeet!
* I've had one. (V12!)
It was an absolutely stunning example of that golden age of British car manufacture. ie a rusting, unreliable crock of shit. So much for 'legacy'!

Re: Go woke, or go broke...
It would have been nicer if it kept a hint of the 'curvy hips' that have been a Jag signature since Lyons' days. As it is it looks like a cybertruck.

Re: Go woke, or go broke...
Nonsense!
The distinction between boys and girls is called sex.
Wonder if they’ll have white cars for chavs and black ones for bad people.

Re: Go woke, or go broke...
The car is not aimed at me, neither is the spectacularly unsuccessful advertising campaign so I have to accept my opinion is meaningless.
It does look shit though.

Re: Go woke, or go broke...
It may be several things, but so far "spectacularly unsuccessful" is not one of them. Jaguar are headline news (and not cause they're sex pests!), which is hard to beat so far as advertising goes.Screwdriver wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2024 7:46 pm The car is not aimed at me, neither is the spectacularly unsuccessful advertising campaign so I have to accept my opinion is meaningless.
