Hot! Jaguar: What's Next?

[Swissbob]

Im looking forward to seeing this car, its going to be a jaw dropper.

Which nobody will buy, as usual.

Can’t wait for this car.

Can’t wait for this car.

...especially in the context of its design, inside and out.

Well, it is certainly generating a major "buzz":

This car is really going to be impressive, I think.

That’s the final car. Looks good even thru the camo.

I love big brolic cars, so I know the exterior is going to have me smitten. I'm really curious about the interior now. I hope they blend classic Jag elements (lots of leather and wood, Bentley-lite) with a modern twist. That will be the make or break for me.

...and the buzz is becoming more apparent. And I like that.

The thought of the perennial naysayers getting served generous helpings of crow make me chuckle.

It's going to be a stunner, but I wish they developed a V12 version at the same time. They better get the SUV out sooner rather than later. The sedan can't sustain Jaguar for long, even if it is a hit and a hit is in serious doubt.

I don't get the fuss about the concept. It's bland and cold and the design language doesn't introduce anything that hasn't been done before. I also find it hard to distinguish as a Jaguar.

That said, some speculative production renders show what could be quite a looker. Maybe it's wildly off. All I see is a gigantic block under the camo.

Looks awful and small here. It will look better

The mass above the sideglass is inaccurate. The roof will be flatter. This is clearly seen on the pre-production prototypes.

I don't get the fuss about the concept.

Above all, it is all about the proportions of it's body architecture. Certainly, "long hood, cabin back" is hardly a "new" theme. Quite the opposite. But executing this in the context of current serial production electric vehicles is unusual. And, IMHO, it is very refreshing to see a new electric sedan offering that offers this sort of "low, crouched, ready to pounce" side profile. More recently, increasing height in order to accomodate batteries have left a good number of BEV sedans look "chubby, dumpy" or "too tall and visually too narrow". I can appreciate this new Jag. As I appreciate cars such as the Porsche/Audi J1's, Polestar 5, the "New" Xpeng 7 and soon, the side profile of the electric AMG 4 door GT (I really hope that the details aren't tacky and fudged).

I’m still wondering what they’ll use the long bonnet for? Batteries and electrical components? extra luggage space/frunk?

I'm really curious to see how this car "works" with the rear window delete (should there actually be a rear window delete). IMHO, I think that I'd rather see a conventional rear window.

Shame if they don’t put the space to use somehow.

They probably will, but I don't think practicality was a priority in the idea.
