ALMOST BLIND--FORGIVE CAPS

HI LAU. JUST IGNORE THIS KIND OF WOKE ITSHAY. THE MORE YOU FEED TO IT, THE MORE IT GROWS.

YOUR READERS ARE BRIGHT ENOUGH TO FIGURE THIS OUT ALL BY THEMSELVES. STOP FEEDEING THE BEAST.

YOUR TIME AND ENERGY ARE BETTER SPENT WRITING ABOUT THINGS CONSTRUCTIVE AND INSTRUCTIVE. AND YOUR READERS TIMES ARE BETTER SPENT READING SUCH.

SINCERELY,

LIAM OF LIAM'S LADDER

Agratas, Tata Group's battery business, is building a £4billion facility in Somerset, UK.

E.V. sales are probably an important factor in their business plans.

Does the market get to choose or will regulations impose restrictions on alternatives?

I suppose cars with unpopular badges will still be more popular than walking. Will anyone have a choice with the Net Zero policies?

"Like it or get the bus" is not really the sort of advertising slogan that inspires with the promise of a luxury lifestyle choice.

They could have a captured market of civil servants' cars and elitism would not be the go to image, purely for the socialist Procrustean ideology about wealth.

I would believe this “marketing cabal” is made up of recent graduates of Socialism in Marketing Univ…all attending & paid for by govt grants & scholarships (tax$$)…

Chinese take over in a few years…new Jaguar bicycles in the future!!

Full confession didn’t even read the article because frankly any corporate leader should be fired for instilling these ideologies in their companies and the people who “identify”with these beliefs need their head examined and help because they have a mental disease needing rescue

Boy, oh boy. Stupid, and then some. The future is set: no sales, Chinese takeover, reversion to old brand with significant improvements. Well done Lau Vegys!

It's obvious to me this intentional by management(s) to destroy value. Wealth. Income. Now, I wonder why...diversity anyone?

For me this isn't a problem as I've never considered a jag...too unreliable ( though back in the day I did look at the E Type simply as a sure way to attract hot women. Didn't go ahead as reasoned the women would be as unreliable as the ca

Good article!...these people are crazier than bat poop!......Jaguar has not had an interesting car since the old "mouse" jag. I am glad that companies are starting to get rid of the diversity nonsense. Obviously, this group has not yet heard the news.

Isn't Jaguar owned by Tata? So I couldn't buy shares even if I wanted to...$60 a month for this?

I have never planned to buy one of these expensive, unreliable, British cars in the first place, but this add just makes me look even smarter. Thanks for sharing.

Live to work, or work to live? It's an old question & one of the answers begs the question "What are the Protestant work ethicists really protesting"?

It might surprise to discover how many people, upon retirement, are cast utterly adrift. Work was everything, all they had - identity. Those bereftees don't much relate to Roy Batty, except for "the time to die" part.

The spluttering continuing arc of that trajectory is this picture of a freak, steering a Jag with one hand, & chugging a Bud Light with the other, that the Fast Eddie Bernays sauciers are currently slopping.

It's become a worldwide phenomenon that some of the stupidest people in business are stuck in the Marketing departments. And RawDongLover is Exhibit 2. The woman who created the controversy at Bud Light last year is Exhibit 1.

Perhaps the target audience is diversity hires in high paying corporate jobs

"Raw-dong-lover," lol. I actually had to Google him to believe it.

You buy a car for one of two reasons. You either buy an androgynous vehicle to get from A to B or you go for style, power and image. …you limit your market considerably when the image is a unicorn prancing over a rainbow…

Yeah, no kidding... Makes you wonder about the intelligence of the empty suits sitting in those corporate rooms.

THERE WAS A NAME FOR THESE SUITS A FEW YEARS AGO. IT WAS, "DICKHEADS".
