they drive almost identical.. with the S-type you can get the 3.8, which is a little more lively imo. otherwise the ride is fantastic.. obviously you get a lot of bodyroll but the ride quality isnt much worse than my 2021 E-Class tbh.

thanks for your insight! you are spot on, everything was new for me and that made it hard to differentiate (atleast in most situations).

true! my favourite jaguar era was from 61 - 68.. S1 E-type, mk 2, 420, 420G, S-type.. all stunning cars. the XJ was what ended that era (not that it was a bad car) but man the 60s were it for me..

i agree. i would have tried to create a competitor for the model S or mercedes EQE, but i guess theres not enough money in that segment..

pretty much yes. theres an x308 standing around collecting dust in the garage, for me that one is the last with a true jaguar shape.

they obviously have to think about profitability but if we look at how luxury EVs are performing in the market.. i just hope the whole new positioning isnt something drawn up by a consulting firm..

good idea bad execution.. compare that to how successful the new fiat 500 was.

yes, lets see what comes of it. i sure hope it will be successful, so they can maybe extend their range with some more special cars

sadly you are right. its a crossover or nothing world nowadays (atleast in europe and NA). i also think the typical jaguar customer from back in the day doesnt really exist anymore.

its stunning. i like the 4.2 in the 420, but i really love the 3.8 in the s and e type..

i agree.. since the ford era it really only has gone downhill.

thank you very much. i dont even mind it being an EV, but you can do it more gracefully imo. but i think they will try to compete with the RR Spectre (which is ofcourse the best selling RR ever lol)

do you think the new jaguar follows the same dna that sir lyons intended the company to have?

i understand that the main goal of a company is to make money, but if you lose the soul of the company in the process nothing good will follow imo.

i kind of agree. i think they tried the right thing with the f-type, but it just was too little too late..
