Terrible Jaguar re-brand

[bigmike20vt]

maybe it is a genius plan..... they have a stunning new car planned, short the shares, release a load of FUD, tank share prices, then hoover them all back up and release the real images

i am not a fan of 1950s era american cars so even without the pink i am not a fan..... also having that huge bonnet in front of the driver, i dont see how that will add anything to the driving experience. one of the advantages of an EV is being able to have a shorter bonnet not a longer one....

i guess i could accept that the side profile is its "least" ugly view.... but that is hardly high praise for a car that will cost over £100k and from a company which has some (in my subjective view) really good looking cars in its recent repertoire. I look at it and i think Mercury Coupe

looking at it more........... i like the windows.

Oh I hear you but when's the last time you saw a new car and thought 'ooft, they got that right?'

Jaguar are doing ugly like every other manufacturer.

Removed the grille at the front to put the grille at the back. Makes sense.

It has been a while since we had anything really good looking.

None of the SUV looks that great tbh. The shape of them just doesn't allow for nice lines.

New Renault 5 looks cracking I think.
But yeah, it's not like new cars looking God-awful is a new thing.

Meh, typical concept car? Doesn’t tell us much.

 

[adam cool dude]

Why the need for the long bonnet? It is an EV after all. At least jaguar have form as they had those rear buttress on the XJS even though it was front engined.

FTFY

Aren't modern concept cars much closer to the end product?

This isn't even a designers sketches? It could have taken 10 seconds for ChatGPT to generate that.

Mind you, Autocar do like creating crap don't they?

Also, are JaG launching a concept car or an actual car?

If they actually released that it would be sold out in minutes. If the cybertruck is anything to go by.

Not a fan to be honest. Can I see this parked up in Tesco? No, I can't. That being said, everyone knows that any potential owners won't eat food, so that solves that!!!!!

Awwwww yissssss

Renault Scenic isn't that bad tbh. Especially compared to Explorer (gash), Model Y (gash). The Cupra thing isn't bad looking either. Renault 5 is great, too.

Bang on the money? Some people will take anything to look right.

So they can drop in a V12 to at least try and redeem it when it all goes wrong?

 

[dlockers]

So @Jonnycoupe is this leak legit?

Shorter bonnets don’t shout luxury though, they don’t make a statement. A long bonnet is a hallmark of big expensive cars.

It is a bit art deco.
But it's renders (not photos) of a concept car. I'll wager it wont end up looking anything like that.

It’s got to look something like it - the car is coming in 2026…!
