#3That's.. actually not a bad looking car. I mean if I had infinite money to spend on a supercar I can certainly think of a dozen others I'd rather go for, but given that most people were expecting an eyesore, I think the new Jaguar looks pretty good while also admittedly being very unique. Looking forward to seeing it on the streets.

#4They are blatantly trying to shock people and go against the brand heritage to get publicity, looks like something from the Cybertruck playbook. Sales and reputation have been declining for a while, maybe this is a last chance gamble. It could work out for them.

#5Said to be an EV. Has a hood longer than a Mustang. And a front shaped like a school bus to make the drag coefficient explode and kill its range. Must be a fake product and a marketing ploy.

#6They should price it 2-5 million. It's a statement of "Look I can afford the most expensive car".

With such a shitty product? I doubt it. This car is dead on arrival (just the shape makes zero sense and goes against everything EV need and against all their benefits).

They can't do that. Luxury products are largely defined by:
1. How "exclusive" they are.
2. The age and heritage of the brand
3. How difficult they are to manufacture. (The difficulty could be artificial.)
Jaguar fails on basically all counts. (1) Price isn't necessarily a stand-in for #1 -- on the very high-end, you have to make it actually difficult to acquire the product in question, and they're not going to do that. (2) Jaguar has a reputation that's somewhere from "weird" to "terrible," not the storied reputation of an old French brand like Bugatti. (3) The Chinese can manufacture that car in a heartbeat. Give CATL and BYD free reign, and they'll probably do a much better job of it.

The long hood is a classic Jaguar style element from back when they had incredily long V12 and inline 6 engines. The bare engine blocks alone were about 4 feet long, not counting all of the accessories, fan, radiator, etc. I agree it makes no sense in an EV.
