THE DYE IS CAST
Jaguar Magazine|Issue 206
NO MORE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES, SUVS AND LESS CARS PRODUCED. WE FIND WHAT THAT MIGHT MEAN. JAGUAR IS ALSO AT PROVERBIAL WAR WITH THE BUILDERS OF REPLICA C AND D-TYPES. THE REASON IS UNCLEAR, BUT IT IS GETTING MASSIVELY DAMAGING PUBLICITY.
THE DYE IS CAST
A HIGHLY RESPECTED FORMER Managing Director of Jaguar Australia advised us to always tell it how it is for Jaguar in our magazine - for better or worse! This is a time to follow his advice.

Jaguar Cars has two critical issues on its plate as we write this. Both are of its own making, one for what it hopes is the better, the other defies our logic. It is creating a tsunami of outrage against Jaguar management - including new CEO, French-born former Renault executive Thierry Bolloré.

The points of controversy are the announcement Jaguar will become the first established car manufacturer in the world to build nothing but electric vehicles - but not until 2025.

The other is the seemingly vicious court action JLR has taken against Swedish enthusiasts Karl and ChristineAnn Magnusson over either one or several replica C-Types they were building - while in full communication with the Company. That includes visits to the headquarters for consultations!

JLR's actions have caused a severely damaging worldwide backlash against the much loved and passionately supported marque's management.

ALL ELECTRIC

We mustn't forget that of all the regular motor manufacturers throughout the world, Jaguar Cars was the very first to put an all-electric powered car into production - the I-PACE.

SERIOUS UP-DATES MAKE IT BETTER - AND IT'S DIESEL F-pace next level

THE F-PACE IS JAGUAR'S BEST SELLING MODEL AND continues to improve in all ways. The 2021 upgrades are sensational to the point where it now feels close to an XJ from the driver or passenger seats. It is that luxurious. It is multi-purpose too, so aside from family duties, it will handle the dirty stuff like a dedicated SUV and, encouragingly, Jaguar really has got its head around what the F-PACE was capable of achieving from its inception.
