Because in reality they're not actually hip, just lame trend followers. (Pun intended.)

Well, targeting Shoreditch is a new direction, it could lead to huge sales as hipsters swap ironic BMX's for a new Jag on finance.

Luckily for me I thought this launch was tonight, so I missed it! It sounds excessively self-indulgent. For some reason car companies seem to go for this stuff. Mercedes produced some dancing girls for some product launch the other day - completely irrelevant - and then the CEO, Zetsche, appeared to talk about the product. It was so incongruous I cannot remember what the product was - it could have been their new van, it could have the new Smart car. And now JLR seem to have forgotten that less is more.

"I'll meet you by the Silk Cut XJR8" may be the coolest meeting place ever. Much better than "behind the bins"

What they should have done is show a bank job being done by all the actors in the 'the good to be bad' advert. Lots of thrashing around London getting away from the police in a fleet of Jags banging off the limiter and shredding tyres. Much more enjoyable.

Reminds me of that great documentary "When BMW met Rover" for all-pervading viewer discomfort.

The spirit of BL is alive and kicking...
