If you find something that works, that people find really appealing, I argue it has no end date. The 911 has looked basically the same for 50 years now, and still resonates with people. The design cues associated with the 1960s define what the mustang is, massive hood, fastback roofline, really...

I disagree strongly. The mustang is a pony car, it needs to keep that look. The look comes before areo imo when it comes to cars like the mustang. Ideally, the car would get a bit longer, or at least have a longer hood, and a longer dash to axle ratio in particular, the distance between the...

This is another example of the kind of direction I'd love to see mustang styling go in. Words can't express how much I love the styling on 1960s mustang fastbacks. So something like this would give me maximum fizz. Every segment of cars has that golden era. With muscle cars, it was the 60s...

They kinda did a modern version of that with the Vision GT concept. I'd love to see a production version of this if we're trying to do the whole high style, high price approach.

QUOTE="Gregs24, post: 3319721, member: 36781"] Absolutely no chance - they don't have a V12 and certainly nobody is developing anything like that now other than for extreme niche products. They have a supercharged V8 but they were all dropped from Jaguar's a while ago. There is no future in...

It's a good strategy on its own, but the timing is just off. If Jag had transitioned into this more expensive brand gradually, I don't think it would upset people as much. But to go from a brand selling 50-80 grand cars to a brand suddenly selling 250k cars is gonna be a huge shock to the brand...

Ideally let's steer this discussion away from the controversial marketing and have a question that directly ties into the cars and product strategy itself. That was what I was criticizing, not the marketing which I can take or leave. I couldn't care less about things like the rainbow raptor, the...

This color strikes that perfect balance of being unique, but timeless. But some people don't exactly have good taste.

There seems to be some misunderstanding here. You seem to believe I'm saying I don't like you discussing political and social issues. To clarify, my post wasn't about you, or anyone else on this site. When I say I don't like things going in this direction, I'm talking about how I don't like...

True, true lol.

Apparently Jag is going the 'Screw sales volume, maximize per unit profit' route. I just don't know if it'll work for them. Is that 300k Cadillac flagship sedan on sale, and if so, is it doing well? That's gonna be the one to watch. Cadillac has more heritage of world class luxury than Jaguar...

I'm sorry, but as a communications graduate, I have to say taking the "There's no such thing as bad publicity" approach to marketing is a terrible idea. That quote about publicity and how it's never a bad thing is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in the business world. If everyone is shitting...

My stance on it is I don't like seeing things get political and forced regardless of the direction. I have gay family members and friends, so I can say gay people in my experience are some of the nicest people you'll meet. But I still don't like seeing lifestyle choices brought into marketing...

Agreed. We'll see how many of these unfamiliar designs are actually visually appealing. Ford's CEO said these upcoming affordable EVs look nothing like the Ford's people expect due to how radical the areo is, and he doesn't know how everyone will react. That could be a really good, or a really...

No, I don't mean with their most recent marketing campaign either, marketing choices good or bad don't really impact how I view the final product. But just look at this design, what the actual hell Jag? Here's the thing, I understand Jag wants this to be a 200-300k sedan, they've said they're...

They're working on a mustang sedan so that should be a good solution for people who want easier access to the rear seats and more space. I actually hope once this mustang sedan comes out we see mustang adopt a 2 seater more exotic shape.

I think a lot of people are disappointed that the s650 doesn't look radically different and use an all new platform. Those are both changes that will likely come with s750. But that's how mustang has been for decades now, two generations that are quite similar, a radical change, two generations...

I'd say it's a variety of things. As a maverick owner, I know a ton of people flipped their mavericks on the used market for a profit. But if you're seeing s650s selling for less than MSRP than it's something else.

Is he like a dick or something? Most people I've talked to seem to enjoy working with him.

This is a throwback to the comments Farley made well before the s650 was revealed. He said their goal was to make the s650 poster car worthy. Now that we've lived with the s650 for over a year now, do you think it lived up to those expectations? I personally think it did. But I am to curious...
