Great that overall sales are up however the press release glosses over the key point that both Land Rover and Jaguar reported US sales for October which were again down year on year (13% for Jaguar, 8% for LR, with the Jag numbers following a 30% drop in August, a 26% drop in July and a 22% drop in June). It's really LR which is powering the JLR group right now. US sales numbers are really very poor for Jaguar - that's something they definitely need to work on...

 

I live in the UK where they make the F , & as yet I havnt even seen one on the road !!!

 

Until Yesterday, had not seen one. Then 2 in a day.

Still uncommon enough to draw attention .. but then my dealer only sells 3-4 a month I believe. Mine is the first Firesand Coupe they have had - and only 1 F Type has been in for a service since they started selling them.

 

I want Jaguar to sell enough to be profitable and have enough money to build an RS-GT version. But don't sell too many that it becomes common like 911s, M3s, etc.

 

 

How many XKR's or XKRS's do you see?!

 

......and restricted supply in the US because, like most other luxury manufacturers, they are sending as many vehicles east as they possibly can where the demand and the profits are far larger than in the west.

Bad news for us........

 

I don't think the US sales numbers are due to supply. Jaguar reportedly has the highest average MSRP of the maintstream premium/luxury brands as its range starts with the XF, so it's not playing at all in the comparatively vast 3/C-Class/A4 etc market which is where the volume sales are to be found. The XF and XJ are good choices in their segments, but it's hard to say they are class leading. Jaguar stopped doing sales breakouts by model in their US sales reports a few months back but it is more likely than not that at least half of their sales are coming from the F Type (based on the most recent report when they did) so sales numbers for the the XF, XK and XJ are obviously very weak and won't improve any time soon until one or both of some significant incentive $$$ or model refreshes are made available.

The new XE is the car Jaguar needs to revitalize sales numbers and this car truly can't come soon enough. I personally find it staggering that the US market is having to wait until 2016 for this car.

 

Very surprised the XE is not out until 2016. It's like the new Honda NSX. By the time it arrives no one will care anymore.

 

Maybe, I don't know, but my point was that the manufacturers will make more profit by sending a car East than they will West. So they are. Why launch here first if you can launch there?

Highest average MSRP in the US when they look at it on a global scale is not that attractive. Look at the cost of an F Type in the UK where they make the things.....$136K for an R Versus $99K here. Take account for different tax rates and for shipping and thats a heck of a difference in profit. Move East and the difference is far more attractive.
