In case you don't get the design direction

I heard that Jaguar was doing a rebrand recently and thought "meh" and didn't look into it...now that I've seen it, well it's surprising and attention-getting, but I'm not sure it's in a good way laugh

Honestly there aren't a lot of Jags past or present I would buy even if I had the money. Most of their cars are "okay" IMO and the only ones I'd seriously like to own are their top-end supercars or concepts like the XJ220 and C-X75. So I'm not really bothered by them doing something completely different like I was when Lotus almost ditched all their lightweight sports cars and became a luxury brand all those years ago. But from that ad...yeah that car is along the lines of what I might expect them to put out next.

If they make some wacky angular '70s/'80s-ish designs with crazy colors that could be interesting...still nothing that would make me want to own one of their cars, but there is a market for it. Look how many people want Cybertrucks even though they're poorly-built breakdown machines.

How can I say this without going off the rails and getting this thread shut down?  Never mind. I'll hold my thoughts. Jaguar, it was nice knowing you. (Insider tip: keep an ICE in the product mix for your own good).

After the P-Face they have to re-tool.

Ok, I'll go there... I'm not advocating for the return of Frenchy, but I'd imagine his reaction to be something to behold. 

(He might need some emotional support)

I think this may be the real new Jaguar:
