_We_ ? Funny how some commentators seem to think that they speak for everyone else here!

@@nickturner2813 We don't agree : )

Who is this we you speak of? The royal we?

@@nickturner2813 I f-ing loathe how those sanctimonious types believe they have any authority to speak on behalf of anyone and everyone. It seems a modern hive mind phenomena.

There won't be if logic and manufacturer influence prevails

R. I. P. Frank!

Frank Williams indeed....what a life.........

Godspeed Frank, you gave auto sport so much.

No, but you can go ahead.

Anyone who wanted to buy one will certainly know what it is, its just not a"favoured" model. Horrendous depreciation.

As I mentioned in the video, they decided to go with out gas particulate filters in the exhaust, which became mandatory for all new EU cars in September 2018. This meant Jaguar could no longer sell the car in certain markets and deposits had to be returned to buyers. All these pre-ordered Project 8 ended up as orphan cars and eventually went on sale in the UK, where they could still be sold under single type approval. So sad really, if enthusiasts realised how special the Project 8 really is, there would be have been a queue around the block for it. In BMW terms it's an M3 fitted with the drivetrain out of the ultimate M5 CS. Just think how well that would have sold!

Jaguar are in the business of selling cars. The XE has never sold in the numbers they wanted and neither did its predecessor the X Type. Thierry did exactly the right thing by taking Jaguar up market and ditching these entry level saloons. They didn't work in the early 2000s and they don't work now. I'm glad he's in charge because JLR was starting to morph into the Rover group focusing on volume and having a car in each category. Car makers thrive when they focus on their niche or core customer. It's only then they can truly make cars that people want. If JLR truly want to have a mass market presence without damaging the Jaguar brand then they could resurrect the Rover name and reintroduce as an extension of Land/Range Rover.

@@nudisco300 Yet the cars were profitable. Thierry threw the entire range under the bus, cancelled the replacement XJ citing it used old technology, yet that same platform is the basis of the new Range Rovers! Doesn't add up. Stating they're going full electric, but there's a long way to go between being full electric and where they are now with increased use of hybrid technology. And Jaguar have never used how advanced the I-Pace is in their marketing. And that is their current biggest failure - poor marketing. That's why Bollore is the worse automotive CEO, a surprise late entry taking that title away from Tobais Moers.

@@johnsim3722 U r talking so much BS. As per the other guy, XF and XE have lately only sold in very small numbers worldwide. SUV is all the rage, not 4 door sedan. XJ was (sadly) only going to sell in small numbers, so not worth going ahead with it. Jaguar total worldwide sales is minimal. 2018 - 180,800 2019 - 161,600 2020 - 102,500 ( Covid related fall ) I doubt they were profitable. Making ongoing losses is not sustainable. Everyone is going EV, and the R & D costs are huge. Jaguar only have 100,000 vehicles to amortise this cost. Thierry has made some very tough, but correct decisions. I’m a big Jaguar fan. So much great history and nostalgia value with the brand, but this does not pay the bills. I Pace is a great car. Jaguar have not done enough to promote this vehicle. As of 2025, all EV An EV E - Pace An EV F - Pace And an EV replacement for the F - Type. Make these cars very special and upmarket. And more expensive Overall total sales will be less than now, BUT profitable. Thierry is securing Jaguars ongoing viability and future.

@@StephenFogarty2023 I hope you're right. You may have missed that there won't be a selection of "Pace" cars, but only one. Bollore is going to remove the SUVs from Jaguar, the cars that have been selling best. XJ he's cancelling stating it's using old technology, but that is the basis of the new Range Rover which he was happy to go ahead with, and now you don't have shared costs. No other company is making this sudden switch to electric because there's a lot of life left in normal cars, a lot of infrastructure. As EV technology improves, and especially where it's needed in the battery department, it will be sensible to move products more towards electric, but that time isn't now. And it's not going to change in 2025 either. There has to be a transition through hybrid first.

@@johnsim3722 Hybrid has been around a long time EV technology improving so rapidly Compare a full EV 5 yrs ago to now, and imagine how much better it will be in another 5 years. Irrespective of what u say about the XJ It was not going to sell in meaningful numbers S class and 7 series dominate this space of the market. And sales of large luxury sedans is declining extremely rapidly, as people buy more Benz GLE / GLS BMW X5 / X7 Instead. Jaguar are a small niche company, so the plan Thierry unveiled makes a lot of sense.
