Its a shame, I always loved Jaguars, even with all of their issues. Lucky for JLR they can depend on Land Rover to support them. Hopefully they can spin Jaguar into a proper new direction, especially since they know how to design beautiful and well driving vehicles. I believe the CEO mentioned he wants to take them into a new direction, more of a boutique automaker against the likes of Aston Martin (who's not doing so hot themselves). Whether this will be seen though is of course questionable.
