Terrible Jaguar re-brand

[Scania]

You can find used engines or gear boxes dirt cheap for most old cars, unless it's something high performance or exotic. Most places will be able to fit it. I run an old Toyota as a daily, costs nothing except fuel and brakes/tyres etc. I'd never save money in the long run using an EV and it's much more hasstle to live with.

If you need to replace batteries, there is no point buying used ones and most places will NOT be able to fit them. The cost never gets cheaper.

You say just replace the cells. Yea right, look how dfficult that is on e.g. a Tesla.

My brother in law had just had a cell replacement on his 330e, the car is back to how it was, including a few other jobs it was around a grand, at BMW, arguably could have got it done a fair bit cheaper had he shopped around...

It's a company car so he wasn't bothered - as he wasn't paying - it wasn't the end of the world financially though, even at stealer prices.

That car is so woke it's even wearing a burqa @3:58.

Autocar first 'drive' of the GT

Just imagine they proved everyone wrong and made an epic, desirable car. Initial press seems positive. Time will tell.

Price will be £100k+, it's 1000bhp and the emphasis will be on ride quality. Jaguar is attempting to jump up a bracket in terms of brand prestige and desirability.

Fair play if they pull it off, but they're attempting to do so on the back of some god awful publicity and rep.
And as previously said above, they're (maybe) trying to punch well above their weight.

 

[Nasher]

They aren't making enough of them to have any real impact, probably to control depreciation which would otherwise be horrendus.

I don't think collectors will be all that interested in it. If you had 100k+ to spend, would you spend it on THAT?

Hopefully they can corner the market for the most unreliable EV's, as well as ICE

May have already got there with the I-Pace, but Chinese EVs are yet to proove themselves

At least they'll be able to dominate if there's more model variety to fail

Surely £2-300k plus, given that it generally looks expensive

I quite like it, although we know reality won't match the concept

Are you insinuating that Mondeo's don't have fancy doors?

You probably watched the same video as I did:

Looks nothing like the concept as is typical nowadays. It might actually be not a bad car, but the damage has been done.
