Decent enough from the front.....but the rear, please Jaguar/Ford give it back to Renault, they need ot for the Megane

Jag need to stick to great big luxury barges and rediscover their racing heritage.

I can hardly believe the C,D and E-type came from them based on todays efforts.

I like it! Thing to remember with Jaguar is that their core customers are slowly but surely releasing this mortal coil. They need to create a new core market and their attempts to get a foot into any door should be applauded before they go the same way as so many other great marques...

......like BMW and Mercedes perhaps, once Masters of the "You've arrived" type car......

......now just expensive versions of VW.


Yes im sure Jag could also produce a hatchback, estate, pretend 4x4 off-roader, SUV, fat bloated pretend sports car, and every other combo going.....
......but why should they.

Jaguar have a rep for luxury barges and a heritage based around sports cars. There is no need to follow the herd and dilute the brand to the extent Merc and BMW have done.

What next - an entry-level shopping car from mothers and wifeys from Bentley.
