"...Jaguar’s real problem is that their dealers have but a single model, and a stale one at that, to sell."

And nothing to look forward to, either.

The very definition of "withered on the vine." As an Englishman and serial Jag owner, it's very dispiriting.

The fact that the British establishment is performatively more embarrassed about the Jew-hatred at the Glastonbury festival than outraged about the anti-British and anti-English sentiments expressed by the same "artists," is beyond deeply disappointing. I say that as someone some people would describe pejoratively as an extreme right-wing messianist Zionist Jew.

"Shut the fuck up I heard you want your country back Uh-uh, you can’t have that." The English and French have to yield sovereignty to Asian and African migrants and Israel is a "colonial settler state" (ignoring how the modern states of Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon were all established by European colonial powers), but the Zulu and Islamic conquests are sacrosanct and nobody says a word about Chinese imperialism and Han racial supremacism. They want the English to be dispossessed of their own country, but the created-out-of-whole-cloth Palestinian people are entitled to a country they never possessed nor ruled. As Aesop is said to have said, any excuse will serve tyrants.

No argument from me, Ronnie. I despair of the state of England - "withered on the vine" seems to apply to the whole country, not just Jaguar. I have a sense that this isn't going to end well.

And their design looks an awful lot like a Chrysler Crossfire

Couldn’t be that they no longer offer a sedan or a coupe. Couldn’t be that they don’t offer reliability. Couldn’t be that the XJ was allowed to die.
