must be meWell, tomorrow is the day. Next stage in the transformation of Jaguar to be revealed at Miami Art Week on 2 December 2024, 20:00hrs (U.S. EST), including the debut of its Design Vision Concept.
Guess we'll see whether they have a chance of making it. Or not.....

“There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.”
Jaguar doesn't expect existing customers to like its rebrand. Bosses said during the car company's heavily-scrutinised rebrand that they expect to lose the vast majority of the Jaguar's existing customer base as a direct result of its new brand identity and switch to only electric vehicles. Managing director Rawdon Glover told MailOnline and This is Money that 85 per cent of future clients would be new to the Jaguar brand as it looks to target a much younger audience.
Only 15 per cent – around one in seven – of buyers from 2026 onwards are expected to be existing customers. This is the 'scale of the transformation', he said. While optimistic about the brand's future, Glover also conceded that there is 'no Plan B'. 'We think it is going to be a success,' he added. 'There are a lot of people out there who have not got Jaguar on their shopping list. We have to persuade and convince them.'
Jaguar last month gave an early preview of the four-door electric GT beginning the early stages of its rigorous testing regime. Jaguar's next-generation electric four-door 'Grand Tourer' is expected to produce more than 575bhp and have a battery range to cover in excess of 430 miles. Prices will start above £100,000 - almost double the average cost of a new petrol or diesel Jaguar in 2024 - and see Jaguar go head-to-head with heavyweights including the Audi e-tron GT, Mercedes EQS, Porsche Taycan and Tesla Model S.
I don't have any knowledge of marketing but isn't one of those marketing maxims something like, it's ten times harder to acquire a new customer than retain an old one? Mind you, their old one was shrinking and sales were falling but essentially that was no imagination. Now, they're basically narrowing themselves down to a small target market, because there's not that large a market for cars in that Audi e-tron GT, Mercedes EQS, Porsche Taycan and Tesla Model S segment, they're ditching their established customer base and, I guess, their current dealers because they won't survive without cars to sell. These new model(s) aren't due to rollout until 2026 so for the next year, nada.
I just do not see this going well for them. On the other hand, I may be completely wrong.....it's happened before LOL
Jaguar Rebrand Is Absolute Genius—Here’s Why
To all those who complain about alienating core customers, they weren’t really working out for Jaguar as an ongoing concern anyway. Jaguar is going upmarket towards customers it didn’t have many of before, more like those who will buy a Range Rover for $200,000. The content of the advertisement is a red herring. The point is that everyone is now looking at Jaguar.
Which is a very valid point.
