Looks like a car ad aimed at the outlandishly-dressed and decadent citizens of Panem in the Hunger Games.

A very apt description. In my former work I had to work on a few, including the Ford derivatives like the 02-05 Thunderbird (one of those is abandoned at my former workplace) and Lincoln LS.

Many moons ago I had my Triumph TR4A in the shop for service. That was when customers could walk back to the service bay to check on progress. As I walked past the Jaguar bay the certified (certificate posted on wall) Jaguar mechanic was working on a Jag. I asked him if he would ever own one. His answer "Only if I could afford a full-time mechanic to keep it up."This message has been edited. Last edited by: Ranger41,

This has got to be a parody or hacked account, right? Gold checkmark or not.
They could be advertising their new tranny options. Automatic vs manual is just so based and pedestrian.

I guess it’s working because no one was thinking about Jaguar a few days ago.
If I’d been asked to name 10 car brands on Sunday, I’m positive Jaguar wouldn’t have made the list. I’m fairly sure I wouldn’t have named them in a list of 20 either. Even if limited to foreign cars, I’m not sure I would mention Jaguar on either list. I mean Yugo, Skoda, Holden, Saab, Citroen would have come to mind before Jaguar.

It's like the population of Zone 1 in The Hunger Games.
With a Jag, may the odds be in your favor.

The crayons will come in handy coloring the new logo in. Even the font has been changed. It's all just awful.
These folks just don’t get do they? Willing to flush a company down the drain for a few percent of the population. And their cars are still screwed up because they can’t hold tolerances in manufacturing.

Well......Jaguar's marketing must be sharing a brain with their mechanical engineers. Jag's engineers can't design a motor or suspension or build a luxury car that doesn't drive like a mid 60's Ford farm truck even when new. I guess we shouldnt expect any less from their marketing division.
Junk has begot junk.... NEXT!

I think it will be interesting to see the sales figures over the next few years. I’d be very upset if I was a Jaguar stockholder.

So load up your ads with transqueers, double the price of everything, and steal the grille off of a Chrysler 300?
Success!
Maybe they could also sell one of them fellas a purse with the Junior logo some day...

Isn't Jaguar owned by Ford?
Yeah, way to really capture the market by selling phallic symbols using models who got rid of their phallics.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

It was in the 1990s and 2000s. Now Jaguar Land Rover, subsidiary of Tata Motors (dot-Indian).

Well as I understand it the new models will be EV only and not on sale till 2026, That should give their target audience of barristas and unemployed college grads time to save up for one.

Well, that is one way to deal with the oil leaks jags were known for.
