I would argue that some of the absolutes put forward by racerx are a bit extreme as I am not a believer in “always and never” but that said, my main objection is the result of exactly what he states - all of the programs, unemployment, and stimulus will all be paid back many times over by those that are responsible for paying the most taxes. I didn’t want a vivid check, but I guarantee I will be responsible for paying several of them back over time. TINSTAFL is real and it is not a zero sum game where everything just balances. Printing money to pay yourself is counter-productive.

Design concepts - I'm really excited to see what the XJ will look like. I make no secret that I am a fan of the 2020 XE which I think improves the looks and I guess there will be cues from that (or more to the point the XE is taking cues from what the flagship will look like), I also think that a stretched and lowered iPace would be a good look, which is possibly what we will get for the XJ.
I thought that the XF went a little backward in looks for the new shape, both inside and out (the first gen is still a lovely looking car) so I am keen to see that with the same treatment as the XE received. I saw talk of a smaller compact SUV which I dont really think they would have needed if the E Pace had been aluminium to start with, also the xc40 is going to take some beating.
I am one of the few on this board who likes the new F Type though I havent seen one in the metal, and not enough to part with my dough (or more to the point to pay $20K stamp duty to the government on a changeover which would burn me more than the price difference). I always liked the sportscar body with a flat face, remember the old Jensen interceptor?
Finally I see Jag are talking about a large SUV - J Pace. Doesnt really interest me although I am not opposed to it, I just cant get excited about it like a might a good saloon or coupe.
