Going EV

[Avocet]

The new electric Jag looks...

weird.; like something out of Thunderbirds.

It has no rear window, will not fit into a UK parking space and – starting at £130,000 – ($172,000) is aimed squarely at rich tech industry buyers driving the wide open roads of America. The car will go on sale in early 2027, with the first deliveries anticipated in the second half of the year.

Yeah, that's pretty gross. Mind you, we had all the same comments about the "jelly mould" Sierra when that came out, because it didn't look like the "Dagenham dustbin" it replaced. People don't like change...

Jaguar said they wanted to go more "niche" and I think this model will definitely help them achieve that...

i wonder if it will have stupid low profle tyres giving a noisy and uncomfortable ride, and a giant infotainment screen with confusing menus and the ride so shockingly hard that it is near impossible to hover your finger over the desired button long enough to press it.

cars now seem to be designed for perfectly tarmac'd autobahns by folk who only have experience of driving simulators

Yeah I know... ...and iron ships will never float! 'Tis the work of the Devil, mark my words! Witchery, I tell thee! No good will come of it! Where will it all end? That's I what I want to know! Flying machines, I shouldn't wonder!
