I agree with the too cartoonish look on the Vision GT. The old CX-75 is wonderful with the exception of the nose. It pokes out just a tad too much for me. Almost like a sucker fish. Bring it back about 2 inches and I think it'll make the hoodline flow better.

For not building the CX-75 as a halo car for the brand, Jaguar deserves to die. Penny wise, pound foolish.

That said, Dragy has exposed that mid-engine cars are not even remotely competitive in straight line speed with front engine. The top 50 cars on the global 0-60 leaderboard are front engine, with only a few MRE cars making the bottom fraction of the top 100. The same has been true on the race track in 2020 with front engine dominating mid-rear engine in mixed racing.

Remember when there was auto racing?

There is an F-TYPE in that movie. If you watch the scene where Bond pulls into the mansion parking lot with all the exotic cars. An F-TYPE is parked a few spots from his Aston Martin.

Your idea of auto racing is a bit different than mine. Auto racing in my mind involves a substantial amount of apexing.
