Re: Go woke, or go broke...
I've not watched any of the reveal videos but those wheels with very limited suspension travel are shit, for that reason alone I'm out.
Otherwise I'm not sure what jaguar should have done, customers wanting an SUV will buy LR and anyone wanting a large family car was shafted when diesel fell out of fashion.
My Jag is brilliant on paper but in reality is pretty dull to drive. I suspect most modern cars are the same and have become a boring commodity.
I want autonomous vehicles that I can control drunk, driving has lost its appeal.

Saw a snippet recently, quoting from a pre-publication paper from 2 astronomers/astrophysicists basically saying that ALL advanced civilizations will self-destruct within about a 1000 years.
1000 years starting from when?

Re: Go woke, or go broke...
Modern industrial civilization, akin to the Industrial Revolution. So we are 2-300 years in, and seeing problems. 1000 years on this planet may be an optimistic estimate.Yambo wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2024 7:22 pmCousin Jack wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2024 12:02 pm

We need to stop worrying about all this environmental stuff.
The AI's will have killed us all off long before the planet becomes uninhabitable through global warming.

Re: Go woke, or go broke...
We've found all sorts of ways to off ourselves, but have always either stepped back from the brink (nuclear war) or it's going to take some time (climate change) or we've set something in motion we can't stop or control (AI).weeksy wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2024 9:16 pmIf humans were good at it, there'd be none leftmangocrazy wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2024 9:09 pmWe really are very good at finding ways to terminate ourselves as a species.

Re: Go woke, or go broke...
Harry Metcalfe founded Evo magazine, IMO the best of the monthly glossy car mags (Autocar is the best overall IMO). He's not some random YouTuber with stupid click bait vids
His vids are way more watchable than most car ones IMO.

Re: Go woke, or go broke...
Yup. I thought the car looked quite Jag like from some angles (sort of low 3/4 view) and you can speculate on how it will change by the time it reaches the road.
Interesting if the pricing is as predicted and the target markets are as said. Not quite sure where they're pitching it if it's 'cheapish'...but then again they've always sat below the luxury bunch and above the 'sales rep' bracket. Sort of 'Essex aspirational'.

Funnily enough - this article describes old Jaguar is a very similar vein :Count Steer wrote: ↑Thu Dec 05, 2024 7:41 amYup. I thought the car looked quite Jag like from some angles (sort of low 3/4 view) and you can speculate on how it will change by the time it reaches the road.

I got banned from Garage Journal forum for sharing a video about it... The admin has a bad habit of seeing political motive where there isn't one & I was out the door after 20 years & 29,000 posts.
