The Jaguar ad campaign reminded me of another one that actually started off from the beginning with a failed marketing scheme. Who here among us remembers the first Infinity ads that ran on TV without ever showing the cars? I certainly do. I didn't understand it at the time, and I just find it laughable now. Ads #3 and #4 are particularly so.
Welcome to 1989...

That's new to me. I'll assume that ad campaign was a flop. Was Infinity somehow associated with nature or off-roading back then?
I remember these, still absurd but now with added funny, as you noted.
Nothing wrong with that, fine looking car. I think all the Jags of that era just "looked like luxury".
It was like they watched what happened to Bud Light/Anheuser and said I'll have two of those.
Jaguar’s ‘Woke’ Campaign and Rebrand Leads to 97.5% Drop in Sales

Part of that drop is they stopped production for a year to switch to EV, I don't believe it was all the woke campaigns fault.
Much like the articles saying Ford loses $30k on each EV they sell, no they have invested billions in EV's (rightly or wrongly) and the more EV's they sell they will recoup that investment over time or decide EV's were dumb and take the remainder as a loss.
I haven't looked too deep into the Jag situation. I knew they were pushing toward all EV, but I hadn't heard/read that they shut down production of current models to restructure for all EV. Seems like a stupid move.

I'd heard about the product pause somewhere else as well, but it's also stated in slide 4 at your link.
That ad campaign was ridiculous, and the product pause with it was just double stupid. 97.5% is a lot but I can't say it's very surprising given those things.
This makes me think.
Do you know what the safest car is?
A Jaguar.
There is always a tow truck in front of it.

I always liked the saying about Jags "Don't drive them farther than you can walk home"!
Nope. They just wanted to create a sense of mystery and anticipation for the new car line, but they carried it too far. I even remember late-night talk show hosts make jokes about it, and whatnot.
crap and I just bought a new QX60...lol
This was parked about two blocks away from my place. An unusual sight in this neighborhood. I stopped to take pics, and noticed it had no plates. I looked up toward the house in the background (it's a friend's home that is currently being rebuilt after a fire damaged it) and saw someone standing in the window, watching me. I waved, and they waved back, so I just continued with my picture taking. On the way back from the store, I saw a couple of cops in an unmarked car parked in front of it, and talking to two people. When the cops left, the people got in the car and proceeded to drive away. Anyways, here's the car.
First we saw this
Then we saw this
Older fellow who said he’s a pilot but didn’t fly the A10. Said he wasn’t good enough so he drives one instead.

This Chevy II looks like it means business ! I just love the vibe !
I love a Cobra, though do prefer them with 289's and slimmer hips if I'm choosing. Anyway, is it just me or do these just not work?
Put some proper headlights in the thing, man! Looks like an insect!

Those type headlights look like crap on a TJ , doing that to a Cobra replica is almost criminal .
Here's a new one on me , 41 Chrysler dual cowl Phaeton .
Do we have a place to post lame jeep pic's. ??
Just saw a Bandit edition Camaro rolling down the street. Couldn’t grab a pic but the internet provides.
