Jaguar launches new media campaign
#JohnPrescott has left the chat
Completely unrelated of course . . . .
And here is one that started the swan-dive into the U-Bend for Jaguar
Hmmm. The new Fag-u-ar advert.
Industrial suicide methinks.
Sarge.
are they trying to sell a car or some other bullshit ?
trying to appeal to people who don’t buy their shit and never will ?
clealry we know who got that lost shipment of drugs
Maybe they were looking for a niche in the world of Motorsport as yet untapped by Jaguar…
There would be very few matches for Top Fuel Drag Racing and they ended up channeling Ru-Paul through their own Life-Style choices.
Linked-in tells a story, Jaguar-Landrover has 110,000 group members on there.
Quite a lot have set “Open To Work”
Stepping away from the fluid brigade that are marketing cars not even for sale…
Here is a much bolder statement of a car, one you can actually buy.
Not direct from a dealer as the initial production volume has been snapped up, I suspect the ICE quota has been reached for the UK market.
The “First-Edition” Landcruiser, built on the amusingly named GAF platform.
So it is official, Toyota do GAF!
As the Shogun was cubed prematurely, there is a need for another durable vehicle.
This Toyota meets every requirement except the budget bit.
Thank goodness all that Jaguar stuff was a hoax.
The real advert has just been released, normality restored…
I am beginning to wonder if Jaaag is going to move to the US completely.
TaTa will only stay in the UK if money is thrown at them and perhaps there are more buyers across the water, also sidesteps US import duty.
BMW were building the X5 in the US under license, I expect others are doing the same
However, my Finnbar Saunders meter is registering a disturbance
The big reveal is in Miami https://www.jlrcoralgables.com/
Coral Gables Hmmm where is that ?
“Jaguar Land Rover Coral Gables, powered by THE COLLECTION, is located on the corner of Ponce de Leon and US1 in Coral Gables”
US1, also known as the Dixie Highway - Ponce on Dixie ? Fnarrr
Managing director - Rawdon Glover - Whut?
Is that a thinly disguised Euphemism?
Rawdon Glover
Raw Dong Lover - FNaaaaaaaaAR!
One of several AI adverts featuring a Real Jaguar
Jaguar have dropped links to 75% of its UK dealer network, is this in anticipation of the predicted sales if something comes to market.
Do not worry, Jaguar has a plan to get back into gear…
JLR to invest $80 million to meet demand for custom luxury car colours
So Sledgehammer swingers Orange and Matt Lucas’s stunt double Yellow will be options
https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/jlr-invest-80-mln-meet-demand-custom-luxury-car-colours-2025-01-27/
At one point JLR had over 10,000 unhappy customers rattling about in courtesy cars because their nearly new vehicles could not be repaired under warranty due to a lack of parts.
That was nearly two years ago, before the “hack” took place.
I took a car for MOT today, it passed with no tutting or head shaking.
I rarely drive this one which may be related to it passing so well.
Then I mentioned the Fog of Mordor that cleared the workshop some time ago when THAT Micra went for its for first MOT in about 15 years.
Headshaking resumed, tutting stopped when I mentioned the water-pump seizing up at max-revs being the source of the smoke.
You have to admire Aspiration.
The artist formerly known as Vauxhall may have been Assimilated by Stellantis but there is a tiny spark of Aspiration here, look at the picture, what do you see ?
It looks like a Boring EV dressed like an SUV, slightly taller to fit more batteries in and raise them up so they don’t clatter off speed-humps.
To save you searching the internet (even though the name is in the uploaded file)….
This is a Vauxhall Frontera.
No, it really is what Vauxhall think a modern Frontarea looks like and they have badged it accordingly.
At least 50p extra was spent on shiny letters for the boot when names are being shortened to save on badge letters.
It is parked on a mountain road . . . .
I will buy a case of beer for the first person to re-create this with the new model
There is even a Red Wine to be had if that is more your choice of Tipple
I missed this one, a Range Rover sport driven round 99 bends then up some stairs.
No significant drama occurred !
NB: No below the waist footage of the drivers racing suit was available afterwards
Chinese Car Assembler Chery tried to do the same with its FullWin X3L
Amusingly this is named as the Fulwib on the Chery site, “Never go Full Wib”
The Chery attempt didn’t go as well as the Green Oval, the video of it is elusive
This gives a hint of just how well it didn’t go…
AHA! found it
This is the best one, Bangs and the crowd going Oooooo and Ahhhhhhh as it all goes Pete Tong
did the rear tyre pop or was the driveshaft popping out?
Found another video with an important bit of information, there is AI* commentary and the video is mostly the same clips looping
A screengrab…. Remoulds ?
I cannot find any weight figure but if it is the headline 1200Km range model it must have a HongKing great battery pack and A tiny petrol range extender
- AI - short for Avoid It
It really is the little things that make an advert special
Theo James (Off The Gentlemen) in a Range Rover Sport
Drives up some old stone stairs without any drama at all.
you need to come to the next LAN - and be early enough so I’m still in a state to go for a drive in the new car …..
