Jaguar

Post by scotta »

From what i can tell...Yep dead.

https://www.goodwood.com/grr/road/news/ ... ol-jaguar/

They've stopped production of XE,XF and F-Type and will no longer produce ICE's.

Unclear what they have left to sell if they aren't building Internal Combustion Engines.

i-Pace is an old car now and they canned the XJ electric.

I don't think the iPace is being replaced directly either.

I saw an F-Type recently with the new face and I must say, it’s a good looking car these days.. shame, RIP

Will be exciting to see the new (elec) range of vehicles though 🤞🤞🤞
Cheers,

Ian

Wonder what all the factory workers are doing now then? No reports of mass layoffs. I thought there were rumours that it was going to be split from Land Rover and sold off.
How about not having a sig at all?

Using the build configurator on the website the answer is SUVs. E-, i-, and F-Pace.

What a fall from grace that is.

For how long though if they are not building engines?

F-Pace is just a Velar and that's not long for this world as there's pics of the new Velar under camouflage being tested.

E/I Pace made in Austria and also not long for this world.

They've done an Alfa Romeo from 2008 when they canned everything then realised they have no cars to sell :lol:

I like luxobarges and I will have another Jaguar. This shift in production upsets me greatly.

Sorry Jag fans, but at 70 I'm probably the oldest poster around these parts, and I can't forsee a time when I'll be old enough to want a Jaguar.

I'm older than my years. Certainly my knees and back think I am. I'd like a late XJ, F-trype or XFR sportbrake.

At 42 I'd like to own a Jaguar (V8 F-Type, XE-S, V12 XJS, XKR-S GT, Project 8) but can't ever see a situation where I'd pick one over other options.

Maybe it’s cos my Dad ran a ‘65 S-Type (3.8 manuel with overdrive) in the late 80’s, but I don’t have a perception of Jag as an older person’s brand at all. Hence I think both Jimmy & Tim’s purchases were CAF 8-)

I would like a Project 8 but they’re all LHD (I think) and don’t seem to depreciate like other Jags, sadly.

Actually I was surprised how expensive 5.0 XKRs still are.

I would have a Project 8 over a GT3 or GT3 RS.

I'm 36 and I've had my Jag since I was 32.

An iPace might be incoming to replace this one when it goes on the 24th.

I don't really care what anyone has ever thought of what I drive though :lol:

When I ran the sales department of a Jag dealership (2008) we rarely had anyone under 50 purchasing, but I bought my XFR when I was 35.

It's a shame to see their demise, and doubt that the electric revolution will save them. I still believe that the XFR has not been bettered as a drivers performance saloon, particularly after you've put decent tyres on them and and had the geo set up to XFR-S spec. Newer M5s, AMGs and Panamera's are certainly faster, but none of them are as enjoyable at sub-100mph.
