I hope this is ok to post here, it does NOT include any personnel information, just a simple Bitch survey I want to send off to Jaguar to let them know how we as Jag owners feel.

If you want to partake in it fine, if not no problem, if you wish to share it great the more the better.

Here is the survey I created on SurveyMonkey today: Here is a Jaguar survey that I have created, no it isn’t spam, I want to collect this data and send it to TATA to tell them how we feel as jaguar owners: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Q7B25YX

Please pass it along to other Jag people and let them know about it.

Thanks Ken - I completed the survey.

After reading the description I thought the survey would also ask Jaguar to continue making traditional gas fueled engines, but didn't see that question.

Mostly, I'd like to see them 1/ Continue the flagship XJ line, and 2/ Pay homage to the classic Jaguar designs of the past. While I'm no BMW fan, you can take a current year BMW and still see the lines and essence of BMWs of 40-50 years ago. Not so with Jaguar, sadly.

 

Jaguar does not care what you and I think. Have you seen this thread?

Interesting. thank you

 

Jaguar should be sold to another company. Even Ford, to restore the brand. Tata isn't doing anything for us. They seem to only support Land Rover.

 

They support LR because they sell way more. The most successful Jaguar models are their SUV's. No body wants cars anymore. It's only trucks and SUV's.
So Jaguar got caught out with no SUV's in the beginning because you could easily walk across the show room and pick any LR SUV you wanted. But even that was too much trouble for most people so Jaguar introduced several SUV's one after another and they far out sold the current crop of cars which are mostly out of production now.

Just the changing times. Not sure it would be much different if they were owned by somebody else.

BMW, Audi, and Genesis are doing great business selling cars of many sizes, including executive sedans. A strong market remains.

Why Jaguar declined: their classic, well-mannered, and sometimes elegant brand was viewed as an old man’s car. And the 1980s issues remained a part of their brand identity. Younger buyers thought of the classy pre-2010s as a boomer car, and others remember the joke “if you buy a Jaguar buy two so you always have one while the other is at the shop.”

Worse, they alienated the long time Jaguar owner with the 2010-era redesign. You could park 50 years of BMWs or Audis side by side and see a subtle continuity as they were restyled through the years. Same can be said for the flagship XJ until 2009. But the X350 started looking really dated (much to my liking but I’m not in step with the masses) and the X351 bore only a passing resemblance to its forebears.

The XJ had the opportunity to thrive while paying homage to earlier generations as the Merc S class, BMW 7 series, or Audi A8 (which also has a long wheelbase option) do today.

 

I am just glad that Land Rover is doing well since their cars have so much of the same parts and tech as our era of Jags. It gives me hope that keeping my 2019 XJL for a long time won't be too painful from a parts perspective.
