9:41 speaking as a gay car enthusiast, that guy should be fucking ashamed He’s singlehandedly destroying Jaguar in order to stroke his ego and push his weird twisted agenda. He’s so obviously disconnected from “the people who use our product”. People do not “use products” in the automotive industry, they DRIVE CARS Cars are machines that have a unique connection to our souls, they fire up a passion inside us. And this guy is out to kill that.
this is indeed the most generic rebrand I've ever seen. Turning something historically relevant and recognizable into something truly generic. It could be anything.
"Copy nothing" so every piece of this car is completely original? Or whatever the fuck the ad is even for? Like come on as if anything is original anymore.
dang. I could fix this. make a new ad right away with angry Jaguar 🐆 chasing all those art school characters away as they run for their lives • then show the new car
It might have been better off to have just quietly failed... because someone would eventually have wanted to resurrect them. Now they will just salt the ground and never speak of them again.
@@i_dont_even_know0234 It's all coming. Ferrari by 2030 will only make hybrid/electric and you can bet 5 years after that it will be all electric. But at that point a 40k electric car will perform just as good as 500k one, there'll be no prestige in having the car anymore... so design wise what do they do? You'll get some pretty ugly cars designed by the same people that tried to this rebrand who think they're so original but will end up making a monstrosity that looks like a child's toy... a few years later the brand is a shell of its former self.

It took me my entire adult life of hard work and toil before I finally realized a life-long dream of owning and driving a Jaguar. Yes, my Jag is a 2018 low-miles F-Pace that I bought three months ago and not a mid-60's E-Type roadster, but the reality is that my 2018 will drive circles around the E-Type and do it safer and with far more comfort and convenience. At least I got to live my dream for three months before Jaguar rebranded themselves into Faguar. Since my car has the coveted "leaper" logo, maybe it will increase in value, and I can trade it off for a used Porsche Cayenne or a Lexus GX460.
I'm personally content with a Miata. Very low risk that Mazda will go woke since it is a Japanese company, plus they're pretty much one of the few companies that make a manual these days.

When I lived in Barcelona, I lived in the center of the city and there was a beautiful Jaguar showroom down the street from me.

I love cars and have been in that space for years. Jaguar has become irrelevant and on the brink of bankruptcy for years.

It’s no surprise that this is their last attempt, but everyone is laughing at them. It looks like they’re trying to be a target competitor-we all know how that went.
@@dantribby199 sadly, that was the product of an era long gone. Today practically all car manufacturers have ceased building cars and they make washing machines on wheels instead.

As a Brit I remember the advert with Tom Hiddleston and Jaguar being an icon of the British gentleman. This new advert has taken out everything associated with the brand and pissed all over it.
Apparently the "point", according to their CEO, is to shift the brand into a higher-price, smaller production band, selling under 100,000 luxury pure EV cars a year, at £120,000+, to rich 30-somethings. They EXPECT to lose 85-90% of their exisiting customer base, so basically it's a huge middle finger to everyone who ever bought their cars in the past, their heritage and their history. Quite why they think those rich 30-somethings will be seduced by the aesthetics of a 20-year old United Colours Of Benetton advert has yet to be explained.
They will be broke in less than a year. Jaguar´s target customers were always older upper class men who wanted a luxurious limousine/grand tourer type of car with good performance. Jaguars were status symbols, like Mercs or Lexus limousines. You´re a wealthy, older gentleman, you drive a "Jaaahg", like they used to make fun of them in the old Top Gear. Rich 30-somethings don´t drive Jags and definitely not EV´s, they drive loud, high horsepower Italian super sports cars in order to show them off online & impress women. And these people are supposed to be in marketing.....
The CEO of Jaguar, Adrian Mardell, approved this, and you can be sure he will never understand what happened when the brand will (soon) be dead. His monthly salary is probably 10 times your yearly one...
They don’t remember what happened to Bud Light and Target? They lost billions over a $8 beer and $12 front tuck your junk kids bathing suits. These are $100,000 cars which is a much harder sale.
I’m starting to think top execs don’t actually work and advertising/HR run companies now a days. Like how does this get approved, there’s no way a normal car person lets this happen. Jaguar could easily turn things around by actually creating quality, not building it like stellantis with a jaguar price tag
@@s....... Yeah that's called "fascism". Benito Mussolini: "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power."
I have been a Jag customer for thirty years, my father had jags also my paternal grandfather and I can tell you, I will never step foot in a Jag showroom ever again.
12:00 Let’s not forget Jaguar decided not to produce cars this year because their silly EV’s can’t sell. In 2016 at least life was good we had the glorious V8 Supercharged XJR and XKR-S 😢
No real loss here. Jaguar hasn't made cars worth buying in years. Most people who can afford a Jaguar would rather buy a Mercedes and get a better quality car. This woke BS will just push them further into obscurity.
But it will raise their ESG score, which will net management (the "G" in ESG) a nice payday, as well as get them financing from the likes of Blackrock.
Jaguar logo was infamous, right up there with Porsche, Lambo, and Ferrari. The jaguar represented speed, luxury and class. Everyone (at least in America) recognized it as such. Can’t believe they scraped it
Luxury car commercials used to be something that lured you in exotically. In Jaguars case it used to be seeing a late 30 mid 40s guy in a 3 piece suit bringing in all the women. It was supposed to attract the 50 somethings who, at best, had a polo, cargo shorts and maybe some decades old stylish sunglasses, who despite everything that,'Maybe I should take a third mortgage out and get this car.' 'Who gives a fuck, I'll be dead before anything bad happens and neither my kids or the bank will see why profit from me!' That's a Jaguar commercial! Not this super model market in which you'll never look that good and own a Jaguar at the same time.
I want a car company to tell me about why I should buy their products. This ad tells me nothing about the car, in fact it’s telling me not to buy their car. Jaguar obviously didn’t pay attention to Bud Light’s demise.
Maybe 10 years ago (which makes me feel old!) there was an ad on TV here in the UK featuring Mark Strong, Tom Hiddleston and Ben Kingsley - marketing Jaguars as slick, classy Bond villain cars. It sold an image - and clearly it worked, as I still remember it now! It’s a far cry from this. This could literally be advertising anything. There are a fair few Jag drivers around where I live, and not one of them has ever stepped out of their wagon looking like this.
I am a previous Jag owner having had 5 XF models over several years and each successive one was worse than the one before. As much as I wanted to stay with the brand, I needed a reliable vehicle so had to go elsewhere. As to the intention to go upmarket and compete with Bentley etc, good luck with that, an all electric 4 door grand tourer for $120k due in 2026 will have to be the best thing they've ever produced and with the decision to stop selling new vehicles for a year to reset the brand most buyers will have forgotten who they are, and most buyers who can afford the new models will not be looking to a 'new company' until the product is proven that the luxury is backed by reliability. With Bentley being owned by the VW group and Rolls Royce under the BMW flag their reliability is sort of a given due to German engineering excellence. With Jaguar being under the Tata Standard, there will need to be some serious visible improvements to be able to compete at or near the top of the luxury car market and history shows that Tata struggle to compete at the levels of BMW, VW Group and others at the current level they trade at. Jaguar can design a great looking car, I loved the look of the XF when it was first launched and that was what drew me to the brand in the first place. But good looks don't help when your in limp home mode with 150 miles still to go and no reply from the Jaguar roadside assistance team, or when your new car is stuck with the dealer for 3-6 months because something failed and the replacement part is on backorder for ever does it? Stop the woke Jaguar and go back to your roots, produce vehicles that people want and can afford that are stylish and reliable or Tata, please sell them off quickly and gracefully so someone else can take the brand where it needs to go. It doesn't look good for Jaguar and I am saddened by the demise of this once world leading brand.
I got an ad for the new Peugeot GT while watching this video, it showed the sleek design of the interior, the fancy tech panels, the new(?) sleek logo Not that it needed to, but it really put it in to perspective just how bad this Jaguar ad and logo change really is
Ugly…everything is being made ugly. What possessed them to make this BS? As a kid i went on a School Trip to the Land Rover factory in Solihull. I’ve always wanted a Land Rover ever since (could never afford one). I wonder if JLR will eventually do the same to Land Rover as they did for Jaguar. They’re the same company.
LOL, true as men often make the decision on which vehicles are purchased. The women cheering this on prove daily why the 19th was terminal. Quick, you have one guess how many ''progressive'' candidates have won the male vote.
I still remember an ad for a Jaguar XJS back in the day… “The most seductive high performance machine of its time.” It’s been something like 40 years… and I still remember that one… !
And we remember Jaguars in James Bond movies... a villain car in Die Another Day, No Time to Die, and Specter. This Jaguar commercial? Somehow it doesn't strike me as quite the James Bond, Simon Templar, :Most Seductive High Performance Machine of Our Time."
Pre-Ford days especially (though I kind of liked the XKR, James Bond possibly influencing it though, as I have had the Sharper Image model for it forever)
Santino Pietrosanti [the new Jaguar Head of Branding] looked just too fabulous for words. As the boys used to say, back in the day, that sequin jacket and mesh shirt ensemble earns him two snaps in a circle! 🙄
Luxury advertising is easy. You create a larger than life persona/fictional character who uses your product. Dos Equis did it best with the most interesting man in the world. Lincoln was the last car brand to do it well with Matthew McConaughey. #1 you have to make a good product, #2 Make a James Bond-like character who drives your car. Every man wants to be him and every woman or gay man wants to be with him, so they gravitate toward your brand. #3 Profit.
If chevy made a modern commercial showing how the square body was able to tow a 737, and the new and modern truck can tow a 747 (much larger passenger plane), then I would definitely be thinking about getting one... even if it would be financially irresponsible...
I like old car ads. We drove a Tacoma in the Montana mountains on vacation and straight up felt like we were in those commercials. Might buy one of those
This has been the funniest episode. I live right next to a whole bunch of car dealerships, and idk if Jag-yu-ar is one of them. If it is, I’ll keep an eye out for what’s gonna happen to it!
I was looking at a Jaguar SUV….now I think I’m going to move towards a Porsche Cayenne. Goodbye Jaguar. Your brilliant history will never be forgotten. Sad
As someone who formerly worked on creative with Jaguar, seeing this made me shake my head. Finding that balance between staying relevant but keeping your roots can be challenging. I think they completely dropped the ball on this route. Becoming this now ‘modern’, yet tacky looking brand is not who they are.
I showed the ad part, without sound, to my niece (14 y.o.) and I asked her what did she think it was for. She thought it was for a new music app. I told her it was for a luxury car, and she was shocked.
The old logo actually LOOKED like a fancy car company. The new logo just looks like they sell generic women’s yoga clothes/accessories ☺
The ad itself is not beating this allegation
New slogan:
Jaguar - putting the trans in transportation.
You'll need to replace everything.
I just spit water all over my phone 😂😂😂😂

Apparently the "point", according to their CEO, is to shift the brand into a higher-price, smaller production band, selling under 100,000 luxury pure EV cars a year, at £120,000+, to rich 30-somethings. They EXPECT to lose 85-90% of their exisiting customer base, so basically it's a huge middle finger to everyone who ever bought their cars in the past, their heritage and their history. Quite why they think those rich 30-somethings will be seduced by the aesthetics of a 20-year old United Colours Of Benetton advert has yet to be explained.
That's why they changed the font to make it look like a tech company
@@keithmichael112 I think the font is more like feminine hygiene products 😂
They will be broke in less than a year. Jaguar´s target customers were always older upper class men who wanted a luxurious limousine/grand tourer type of car with good performance.
Jaguars were status symbols, like Mercs or Lexus limousines.
You´re a wealthy, older gentleman, you drive a "Jaaahg", like they used to make fun of them in the old Top Gear.
Rich 30-somethings don´t drive Jags and definitely not EV´s, they drive loud, high horsepower Italian super sports cars in order to show them off online & impress women.
And these people are supposed to be in marketing.....
Why didn’t they _show_ this EV?
@@doublep1980 they ALREADY went broke, and got sold to an Indian company Tata Motors.
The CEO of Jaguar, Adrian Mardell, approved this, and you can be sure he will never understand what happened when the brand will (soon) be dead.
His monthly salary is probably 10 times your yearly one...
We can all watch the stock price absolutely TANK !
They don’t remember what happened to Bud Light and Target? They lost billions over a $8 beer and $12 front tuck your junk kids bathing suits. These are $100,000 cars which is a much harder sale.
I’m starting to think top execs don’t actually work and advertising/HR run companies now a days. Like how does this get approved, there’s no way a normal car person lets this happen. Jaguar could easily turn things around by actually creating quality, not building it like stellantis with a jaguar price tag
Sherwin-WIlliams called and wants their color palette back.
The uglification of modern culture is truly saddening
You mean like that completely AI generated advert that Coca-Cola released a few days before this?
New Strat Bad ideas = get talked about for a short bit for some relevancy whens the last time you heard Jaguar? They got us😅
@AlekseyMaksimovichPeshkov honestly prefer ai over this woke nonsense
@@s....... Yeah that's called "fascism".
Benito Mussolini: "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power."
@@AlekseyMaksimovichPeshkov how so?
I have been a Jag customer for thirty years, my father had jags also my paternal grandfather and I can tell you, I will never step foot in a Jag showroom ever again.
It’s so sad what they did to a brand with so much history and heritage. All down the drain in 1 ad
Jaguar shot themselves in the wallet by hiring that marketing director.
12:00 Let’s not forget Jaguar decided not to produce cars this year because their silly EV’s can’t sell. In 2016 at least life was good we had the glorious V8 Supercharged XJR and XKR-S 😢
No real loss here. Jaguar hasn't made cars worth buying in years. Most people who can afford a Jaguar would rather buy a Mercedes and get a better quality car. This woke BS will just push them further into obscurity.
Jaguars had a well-deserved reputation for being expensive garbage.
But it will raise their ESG score, which will net management (the "G" in ESG) a nice payday, as well as get them financing from the likes of Blackrock.
What kind of Mercedes do you drive? I like my jaguar but will not be chopping off parts to transition it.
1:29 wait so the answer to rebranding was to take away the best and most recognizable part of their logo? Craziness
I sometimes confuse the cats in the logos of Jaguar, Slazenger & Puma... 😂
Jaguar logo was infamous, right up there with Porsche, Lambo, and Ferrari.
The jaguar represented speed, luxury and class. Everyone (at least in America) recognized it as such.
Can’t believe they scraped it
“Faguar” - Melonie Mac.
😂
Melonie really hit the nail on the head with that one especially since she recently celebrated her birthday. Lmfao 🤣
😂😂
Luxury car commercials used to be something that lured you in exotically. In Jaguars case it used to be seeing a late 30 mid 40s guy in a 3 piece suit bringing in all the women.
It was supposed to attract the 50 somethings who, at best, had a polo, cargo shorts and maybe some decades old stylish sunglasses, who despite everything that,'Maybe I should take a third mortgage out and get this car.'
'Who gives a fuck, I'll be dead before anything bad happens and neither my kids or the bank will see why profit from me!'
That's a Jaguar commercial! Not this super model market in which you'll never look that good and own a Jaguar at the same time.
Fantastic transition in and out of Lomi Brett - you crack me up :D
A comercial for people that cant afford it, think cars are immoral and dont have a drivers license.
What could possibly go wrong.
I want a car company to tell me about why I should buy their products. This ad tells me nothing about the car, in fact it’s telling me not to buy their car. Jaguar obviously didn’t pay attention to Bud Light’s demise.
It's called the Phaguar.
Lol
If anyone asks is short for Phantom Jaguar 🐆
HA!
Best comment 😂
Maybe 10 years ago (which makes me feel old!) there was an ad on TV here in the UK featuring Mark Strong, Tom Hiddleston and Ben Kingsley - marketing Jaguars as slick, classy Bond villain cars.
It sold an image - and clearly it worked, as I still remember it now!
It’s a far cry from this. This could literally be advertising anything.
There are a fair few Jag drivers around where I live, and not one of them has ever stepped out of their wagon looking like this.
I am a previous Jag owner having had 5 XF models over several years and each successive one was worse than the one before. As much as I wanted to stay with the brand, I needed a reliable vehicle so had to go elsewhere.
As to the intention to go upmarket and compete with Bentley etc, good luck with that, an all electric 4 door grand tourer for $120k due in 2026 will have to be the best thing they've ever produced and with the decision to stop selling new vehicles for a year to reset the brand most buyers will have forgotten who they are, and most buyers who can afford the new models will not be looking to a 'new company' until the product is proven that the luxury is backed by reliability.
With Bentley being owned by the VW group and Rolls Royce under the BMW flag their reliability is sort of a given due to German engineering excellence. With Jaguar being under the Tata Standard, there will need to be some serious visible improvements to be able to compete at or near the top of the luxury car market and history shows that Tata struggle to compete at the levels of BMW, VW Group and others at the current level they trade at.
Jaguar can design a great looking car, I loved the look of the XF when it was first launched and that was what drew me to the brand in the first place. But good looks don't help when your in limp home mode with 150 miles still to go and no reply from the Jaguar roadside assistance team, or when your new car is stuck with the dealer for 3-6 months because something failed and the replacement part is on backorder for ever does it?
Stop the woke Jaguar and go back to your roots, produce vehicles that people want and can afford that are stylish and reliable or Tata, please sell them off quickly and gracefully so someone else can take the brand where it needs to go.
It doesn't look good for Jaguar and I am saddened by the demise of this once world leading brand.
The best comment I saw was : ""I'm gay and this ad makes me feel homophobic"
I know some gay/lesbian people and they all hate LGBTQ and those gender-na*is.
I got an ad for the new Peugeot GT while watching this video, it showed the sleek design of the interior, the fancy tech panels, the new(?) sleek logo
Not that it needed to, but it really put it in to perspective just how bad this Jaguar ad and logo change really is
Who else watched the Volvo ad by Jean Claude Van Damme right after this video? The one in which he performs the epic split. 😮 Legendary.
Ugly…everything is being made ugly. What possessed them to make this BS? As a kid i went on a School Trip to the Land Rover factory in Solihull. I’ve always wanted a Land Rover ever since (could never afford one). I wonder if JLR will eventually do the same to Land Rover as they did for Jaguar. They’re the same company.
a brand this big should spend a few bucks on market research before doing something like this, this is Bud light all over again
The ad for sure will have Jaguar customers identifying as Non-Buynary
Hahaha 😆
Much bot. Much wow.
Stole this from another commenter
LOL, true as men often make the decision on which vehicles are purchased.
The women cheering this on prove daily why the 19th was terminal. Quick, you have one guess how many ''progressive'' candidates have won the male vote.
The women cheering this on prove daily why the 19th was terminal. Guess how many progressives have won the male vote?
Literally the same comment is underneath this one. Bot?
I still remember an ad for a Jaguar XJS back in the day… “The most seductive high performance machine of its time.”
It’s been something like 40 years… and I still remember that one… !
Simon Templar on tv drove a white one. Yeah i'm old.
And we remember Jaguars in James Bond movies... a villain car in Die Another Day, No Time to Die, and Specter.
This Jaguar commercial? Somehow it doesn't strike me as quite the James Bond, Simon Templar, :Most Seductive High Performance Machine of Our Time."
Jaguar pulled all new car sales so they could work on their Trans Mission issues.
The Jaguar brand manager bragging about establishing 15 DEI teams at the company...my god.
Y'all missed a goldmine not using the iconic "jaaaaaaag"
Watching them get crushed on Twitter while responding with ultimate cringe was amazing.
Wait till you unleash the Instagram comments section and 4channers on them.
The only nice Jags were the older models.
The Jaguar XE SV Project 8 was incredible but they didn’t make a lot of them.
Jaguar is no longer the original brand. Not worth buying.
Real. My favorite car was a very old jaguar but I’m just done entirely with the brand after this.
Pre-Ford days especially (though I kind of liked the XKR, James Bond possibly influencing it though, as I have had the Sharper Image model for it forever)
Those were the proper JAAAGS.
11:38 Is that Cruella de Ville? How many dalmatians has she murdered?
Noooo Don't do cruella dirty like that 😂
Doesn't matter. She has a "trans non-binary" child, so she is automatically better than everyone else. 😂
IDK about dalmatians, but he just publicly bragged about being a child abuser, so....
Wait what?! Was that in the video and I missed it or something?
@@Ben-e3p Look at what "she" says at 11:32, about "her" child. That's what I'm talking about.
Santino Pietrosanti [the new Jaguar Head of Branding] looked just too fabulous for words. As the boys used to say, back in the day, that sequin jacket and mesh shirt ensemble earns him two snaps in a circle! 🙄
Luxury advertising is easy. You create a larger than life persona/fictional character who uses your product. Dos Equis did it best with the most interesting man in the world. Lincoln was the last car brand to do it well with Matthew McConaughey. #1 you have to make a good product, #2 Make a James Bond-like character who drives your car. Every man wants to be him and every woman or gay man wants to be with him, so they gravitate toward your brand. #3 Profit.
The old logo actually LOOKED like a fancy car company. The new logo just looks like they sell generic women’s yoga clothes/accessories.
Haha true … also u kinda(actually super) cute
And washroom fitments 😅
Their demographic..cougars and I’m not talking about the animal
Brands moving OUT of the woke movement and Jaguar going all IN?! 🤦🏻♀️
They took out with the old in with the new too far
The way you tell stories is unmatched!
If chevy made a modern commercial showing how the square body was able to tow a 737, and the new and modern truck can tow a 747 (much larger passenger plane), then I would definitely be thinking about getting one... even if it would be financially irresponsible...
I never go for conspiracy theories of any kind, but absolutely believe that the removal of beauty is quite intentional.
I like old car ads. We drove a Tacoma in the Montana mountains on vacation and straight up felt like we were in those commercials. Might buy one of those
The ad for sure will have Jaguar customers identifying as Non-Buynary.
Nice 👍😂
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah… you got it. 😂😂
Centimetre perfect 🎉
🙌🏻👊🏻 💯
This has been the funniest episode. I live right next to a whole bunch of car dealerships, and idk if Jag-yu-ar is one of them. If it is, I’ll keep an eye out for what’s gonna happen to it!
The ad seems completely in place for a fashion brand but not a car brand
I was looking at a Jaguar SUV….now I think I’m going to move towards a Porsche Cayenne.
Goodbye Jaguar. Your brilliant history will never be forgotten.
Sad
“The Head of Branding” made the ad for HIMSELF, not for the consumers 🚮 What a total L for the company 👎🏽
OMG!!!!!! What a disgusting, tasteless pile of crap.
To quote Elon: Do you sell cars? Epic fail from Jaguar.
I thought they were selling clothing, not cars.
This is where a focus group would say, “yeah… hard pass!”
They responded by inviting him to some event they’re having in Miami
Thought it was a preview for Zoolander 2
As someone who formerly worked on creative with Jaguar, seeing this made me shake my head. Finding that balance between staying relevant but keeping your roots can be challenging. I think they completely dropped the ball on this route. Becoming this now ‘modern’, yet tacky looking brand is not who they are.
Disney+ presents - The Acolyte: Fall of The Jaguar
I would say why, but nothing surprises me anymore.
I know what this ad is selling.. and it ain't cars
so long as there is this channel, both you and your producer are beautiful things in this world
I thought I made a mistake deciding against a Jag, but I'm surely glad now.😂
Add end 2:57
Thanks!
np!
Out here doing the lords work.

To sell cars, Jaguar needs to focus on the brand's illustrious history, which has always been about performance and prestige.
...And once again, we chant the old anthem, "Go woke! Go broke!"
The irony in that statement is that this jaguar ad is aimed at the most brokest people in the bunch. Penniless artsy millennials. 😂
As someone in advertising. That's first year college style advertising, and it's shocking.
4:44 literally made me laugh out loud when they said “delete ordinary”
Frankfurt School be like
my grandpa collects vintage cars and has been a lifelong jaguar lover… i can’t even imagine bringing this up and how disappointed he’d be
Jags have been super bland for so long now. They used to have seriously iconic style. I honestly couldn't care less about their cars now.

I showed the ad part, without sound, to my niece (14 y.o.) and I asked her what did she think it was for. She thought it was for a new music app. I told her it was for a luxury car, and she was shocked.
I mean, ive never heard people talk about jaguars ever besides a few car guys geeking about cars.
This has gotten so much attention.
