Hello everyone! I'm Cai, and I am obsessed with elderly motor vehicles. Too many cars these days are depressing eco boxes and are simply far too uniform, and don't get me started on crossover SUVs; on this channel, we shall be reviewing and experiencing absolute machines from a forgotten age.

Jaguar's Rebrand IS NOT Going Well...
... Or is it?
Jaguar, John Prescott's car of choice, well not anymore. That's probably the only instance where this rebrand won't be to blame. This rebrand has proved controversial (or at least I would say that, in fact it seems thus far to be fairly universally loathed), but is it an earned controversy? After all, we haven't properly seen any cars yet. Could Jaguar be striking out in a new, exciting direction in search of that enthralling full EV future, or are they just burying their brand next to John Prescott?
Let me know your thoughts!

The Car to Unleash Your Inner Pensioner - Rover 420 GSi Review
Переглядів 378Місяць тому
The Rover 420 GSi is a stunningly competent, fast wagon with the badge of an octogenarian man's dreams. However, is this a distinguished car for your dear old grandad or is it a soulless amalgamation of Honda components? Better yet, could it possess another quality altogether? Special thanks to Harry for lending us his fantastic example. Instagram: raspberrycai
The Motorway Menace - BMW E90 330D Review
Переглядів 1,8 тис.Місяць тому
The BMW E90 330D is an absolutely rapid 6 cylinder diesel that I can certainly see the appeal of - it's quick, sounds alright albeit a bit muted and drives with some civility. Is it worth that rather tetchy BMW driver reputation? Special thanks to Callum for lending us this absolute rocket of a car for a short drive. Instagram: raspberrycai

The Convertible for Nobody - Nissan Micra C C Review
It's not "Jaguar" anymore It's "Faguar Copy Everything". 😅
Jaguar had sunk into oblivion. Nothing to loose. Until the car is on sale we really don’t know. The hot air means nothing. Brand image is nothing without a product. Everybody and his dog has an opinion. Yours is very mainstream. Why do we need hundreds of pontificators saying the same thing???
Sell Jaguar stock ❤
They were very popular with the American Boy Scouts.
With the stupid, childish, and just plain AWFUL new ad - Jaguar became BALENCIAGUAR...
Id say you're outstanding in your field
*From Jaguar to Faguar in one creepy commercial....*
Advertisement is rubbish! Hope the new car is better.
cant be worse
Never support toxic woke coporate culture these out of touch executives do not deserve your money.
Traditional jag customers are dead. I don't see buyers for xj at the moment. They are trying to resuscitate a brand
Maybe it will identify as an EV but actually have a naturally aspirated V8 twin turbo.
I feel like I've been raped by a trusted friend. Enough?
The brand isn't jaguar or even "hip" with the Gen Z demographic. However the real issues aren't with the imaging but with their future. However the stats aren't encouraging regarding the future of the brand. Going all electric in a super luxury market where EV sales are stagnant isnt a great move. Porsche has moved away from their "full EV by 20xx" and more and more people want at least hybridification. Furthermore it seems like we've reached a max saturation point with expensive EV's. The taycan seems to be a good benchmark since its around "100k USD" EV sports sedan, and they aren't selling anymore. Theres a real possiblity that everyone who wanted a expensive luxury EV has bought one. I have a friend who runs a Porsche dealer and he states that he can't sell taycans anymore, and new buyers are warded away from the brand due to the massive depreciation. To quote him "Porsche buyers are rich, not retarded". Mind you Porsche has a huge GRIP on Gen Z buyers. To think Jaguar would allure Bentley or RR buyers is laughable. However probably the worst thing about the brand, here in the US at least, is that no one in Gen Z knows what Jag is. They also have an Alfa Romeo problem where they have 1960s reliablity and a tendency to destroy themselves. If this brand dies it won't be due to the add campaign. It will be due to a cumulation of 25 years of misteps and a redirection of a brand into a stagnant market sector.
I like this rebrand… ok you say there’s no such thing as a woke car. Behold! A new logo with 2 limp sausages in a circle. Only a capital G in jaGuar. A new CEO and bud light’s former brand manager marching in pride parades and jaguar hosting pride awards. Singing the praises of DEI, ESG and LGBTQ+. This is a total rebranding to be the first queer centric car company. Aimed at rich elite liberals, who have many large houses and can afford Bentley or Lamborghini but want something less masculine. Something for them. These are upper management, brand leaders and business people, fashion designers, movie producers. Like the caliber of people working at companies like Disney, Netflix, Apple, Microsoft, celebrities.. they don’t need to make a bunch of ev’s at below profit margin. Instead they are aiming for the Bentley crowd but cooler. I think they could be successful. Also it’s a middle finger to the English from India, a middle finger to all the former customers. A middle finger to the straight Christian conservative community. And I’m sure they are keeping records of all the mean things being said online. They will play the victim so the gay community bands together around them. And they will use it to pass more censorship and anti-bullying laws. This is going to be the official car of the elites. The one they drive to the hunger games.
Let's get this right, Jag wants to be different with ev's, well, that's not different, the Chinese do it better that German's and anyone else, especially Jaguar. Jag ev's have a reputation for being hot, so hot they catch fire and Jag had to buy them back because they were unable to repair them cost effectively. They aren't any better at ICE engines if you doubt it check out the Ingenium engine disaster. Jag wants to sell the "new ev's" at Bentley prices, yet has about the worst reputation for quality & reliability. Sales have dwindled to about zero, because of the the above mentioned ineptitude/incompetance. Frankly, instead of trying to distance itself from it's heritage, Jag would be better off building D & E types etc. They could easily sell more than they could make. So imho, the only way forward is to go back and replicate the brilliant efforts of your forbears. It is clear that you are useless at making ev's, or ice powertrians, an embarresment actually, not to mention this pathetic marketing fiasco. Yes jobs would be lost, but the company would survive, unlike the present idiot inspired plan.
I always liked English classics, and I'm sorry to see this, really.
The rebrand objectively is terrible.
The comment about a Mondeo being the same as an X-Type was offensive and I have reported your non-crime hate incident to the relevant authorities. A cursory search on the internet will reveal: The X-Type only used 19% of the Mondeo's components. The X-Type and Mondeo do not share any dimensions. The X-Type has a different front suspension. The X-Type uses a different gearbox and my 2.5 V6 is an all wheel drive which Mondeo never did. Finally, as if more proof were needed, my X type is 21 years old and the interior is mint. Show me a 21 year old Mondeo with a good interior. If you throw yourself to the floor and beg my forgiveness I will rescind the non crime thingamajigimy.
It’s Jaguar’s Edsel moment: an esoteric ad “camp-pain”, followed by three years of execrable products and depressing sales.
Ain't even gonna last that long. They're already squeezed as is, mainly not 'cause of the new design language or the XF or XE or F-Pace or F-Type or anything that got the approval of the honorable Ratan Tata himself, but because of precisely the damn I-Pace EV and its flaming (hah!) troubles. They have some spot quality issues, and for their image and focus they're over-accessorized and over-electonified - although what cars ain't today? But it's probably _particularly_ tetchy with a focus customer of a 47yo mid-level exec with more of a taste for drivetrain and driving dynamics and polished metal style than for plastic knobs and LED bars and graphic menus... Trust me, I know the type, because I _am_ one, just short of a decade and some. And so's my old man, and maternal gramps too, who's had an XE before. That's the kind of customer who's liable to go "A really juicy eight and responsive shifter? And NO damn faffy touchscreen, unlike the Merc?! Sold!" But now, now they're gonna pour half a Billion! into a factory and into retooling hardline dedicatedly for fecking viledamn EV. Right as the cultural and political tide is rising up against all that nonsense, in the wake of miserable failure after miserable failure of "Green Turn" projects all over the West. And then they launch off with... this. I'd not be entirely surprised if they don't even manage to finish construction and clipping the band. The combination of shares hit leading to pulls and investor backings, cancelled orders and unsolds in lots, franchise pulls and labor plain walking out may well kill them before then.
You're missing the point. You're talking about Jaguar. Brilliant marketing. All of the wee-boy moanings will be forgotten about IF the new car is good. Simples. You can bet everybody will want to review their next new car (when it comes out !) ... Well done for putting Jaguar in your title .... you are exactly what they were aiming for .... another tick in the marketing box 🤓
@@kwikbit I think that's one of the main points I made?
@@CaiKeys ... ahh yes, that's what I get for getting into "irate keyboard warrior mode" after only listening for 2 mins .... 🙄... I'll leave this comment here in case anyone else decides to do the same 😜
@@CaiKeys You made the point quite clearly and i bet this new and improved Jaguar will ultimately be the cat's meow.
@@kwikbit do you think the people who have seen the ad is going to talk about it in one month let alone buy an expensive car?
Paid mine slightly over a 1000 bucks, 1.9 jtdm Sportwagon right on 200k km. Head got cracked, mostly because of improper care and a remap from a shady shop. Put back a new motor in, changed the front suspentions and all 4 tires. Love the car, it is not a perfect car, it's heavy and too big for the actual usable space it provides, but i would not trade it for the world. Edit, if any of you guys have a question on the car, if you are planning to get one for exemple, i'll gladly respond !
Tibby game 🦈🎯!!
Bought my 1.4 at 210.000km for 500€ after they did a rally, burned all the tires and drove it into a canal .... Now I'm at 280.000km
I get Chrysler crossfire vibes with that rear quarter 🙈
You can have a lot of fun in a CrossFire, ive owned 2 and loved them both.
I thought unisex perfume rather than feminine hygiene product. The latter by Jaguar might involve too many unfortunate puns about cats.
Totally ridiculous, not even a car in site
It's got everyone talking about it, and it's made all the crusty old gammons leave in a huff. I'd say it's working beautifully.
Yes, now lets see how many blue haired, limp-waisted, alphabet-types have the money to afford a car.
You buy a jag if you are: - An upper class con artist - A gentleman thief - A 1960’s London gangster - A sales director - A British diplomat - Chairman of the golf club - Leslie Phillips I don’t see any pf the above being wooed by this advert, and none of the seventeen people in the world who might be enticed can afford one. As to the whole EV thing, I note that Jag’s German competitors are definitely hedging on that, which might suggest that going all in right now is *very* risky.
I love this comment 😂
As a kid i loved Jaaaaaags and McLarens but nowadays.... man i wish i could still love em
The most worrying thing for the future of Jag is that this does smack of a lack of direction, and that is a thing that has killed many car companies far larger than jaguar...hope I'm proved wrong though
Bringing politics back into it, if I was in the market for an electric car it would not be a woke Jag but an Elon Musk anti Labour government Tesla. Fuck Jaguar!

Ahhhh yes, everyone's favourite cotton box
Sounds like a tank
It’s the farthest thing from a tank cars could possibly get
Fond of hearing these rather noisily putting about Berlin. They sound like they have about as much refinement and finesse as a bowel screening and come equipped with a smell to match. Nonetheless, I’d love to drive one.

Max power takes me back I'm sure there was a magazine
There was indeed, Max power magazine started in 1993 and ended in 2011
"One of the automotive eras of all time" what is that meant to mean?
@@TheCarsfan4ever bit of a joke, people tend to say 'one of the greatest of all time', therefore by omitting the 'greatest', it suggests it's notable, but perhaps not the greatest. I used the same 'a car of all time' for my Golf MK5 review
I loved max power but why on earth is there 1990 coronation street playing in the background
They took the Corrie theme and put a donk on it!
Baseline! (Ah wicked!) Put a donk on it. … Electro! (Ah that is sick that mate!) Put a donk on it. … Techno! (Oh now that is good!) Put a donk on it.

You can't fool me, that's just a Ye oldie go cart
I drive a E90, only the 2.0 which does not have the flappy paddles. Do you not have to push the auto gear lever to left (Sport Mode) for the flappy paddles to become active?
This is actually my car, basically a common issue is inside the shifter the wires that activate the sport mode don't have enough slack in them so if you use them too much and over time can cause them to snap deactivating your spoot mode and paddles Just needs a solder but I'm too lazy and think paddles are a gimmick for a torque converter auto
@@calkeggs3257 Yeah I'm not into the paddles to be fair, I'd only use them if I was in the water. Nice car btw!
