British Sportscar Maker Jaguar Saw What Dylan Mulvaney Did For Bud Light's Sale and Decides It Wants to Jump On That Sinking Ship Too
Plus: Tesla Launch

It's almost like one of those business comedies where the owner wants to tank the brand so that she can buy the outstanding shares for a pittance.

Like Major League but with a Trannymobile.

19 The street was deserted late Friday night
We were buggin' each other while we sat out the light
We both popped the clutch when the light turned green
You should of heard the whine from my screamin' machine
I flew past LaBrea, Schwab's, and Crescent Heights
And all the jag could see were my six tail lights
He passed me at doheny then I started to swerve
But I pulled her out and there I was
At dead man's curve...

38 This reminds me of luxury brands advertising.

They stopped using beautiful models and started using...stark-looking fashion models. Striking but strange looks.

My theory was the buyers are rich women who may not be that beautiful but want to "stand out"

"I'm special" vs. "I'm attractive"

107 Car commercials have catered toward women buyers for some time now. Rarely do you see the man or father figure driving the car. It's usually the woman. It's always reverse-role s##t.

I've also seen them sneaking in glimpses of gaydom into the commercials - the recent volkswagon commercial with flashes of VWs thru the years - if you freeze the wedding scene it's two brides in the back. BMW had one also showing two young men briefly kissing - kind of subliminal advertising.

123 JLR has shut down Jaguar manufacturing for up to a year and has already killed its most popular models, so I don't think anyone is buying their cars anyway...

But they are owned by a Chinese company, so if you really think about it, this could be the CCPs way of getting even for the Opium wars.

134 107 Car commercials have catered toward women buyers for some time now. Rarely do you see the man or father figure driving the car. It's usually the woman. It's always reverse-role s##t.

I've also seen them sneaking in glimpses of gaydom into the commercials - the recent volkswagon commercial with flashes of VWs thru the years - if you freeze the wedding scene it's two brides in the back. BMW had one also showing two young men briefly kissing - kind of subliminal advertising.

I'm glad I don't care anymore....it's not my world.

2) this is exhibit A for my argument that ad companies do not advertise the products they are hired to, they advertise their ad company. This will win awards and drive business to them, but not sell a single Jaguar.

I don’t think this is helping sales, if increasing your rapidly shrinking bottom line is actually goal.

207 187 I am just waiting for one of these corporations to realize the absolute gold mine that exists for them it they take this approach in their commercials:

"See that? That's a car. Made in the USA by hard working employees. They concentrated on making it safe, reliable and affordable. And, if you ask me, it doesn't look half bad either. We don't focus on politics. We focus on making sure the brakes work correctly. We don't much care how you dress, talk or who associate with. We care about making sure you can safely get from point A to point B with peace of mind. Gas costs money...your money. We took that into account when we designed this car for you. See that? That's a car. We made it for you...all of you. Come take a look when your schedule allows. We'll be here."

After all, they sell luxury cars that don't perform particularly well, and the people that buy their overpriced crap are going to be wealthy, and more likely to be leftists. But its still not going to actually help their sales, it just won't hurt much IMO.

Bud Light, on the other hand, was looked down on as 'lower-class' swill by the leftists, its customer base was primarily working class men, and in today's market its never been easier to get a cheap beer alternative.

So, its stupid to think its going to GAIN them anything, but it won't hurt them nearly as badly as Bud Light.

327 Jaguar's been weird for a long time. In the 80s and 90s the XJ's were partially GM by virtue of the transmissions and AC components. The British engines were very fussy so most got replaced with a GM 350ci V8.

In part, "Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina is defending a measure she recently introduced that would ban transgender women from women's bathrooms in the U.S. Capitol.

It is unclear if the effort will get a vote or if rules in the Capitol will be changed, but the move comes just two weeks after Democrat Sarah McBride became the first openly transgender person elected to Congress.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Mace characterized this specific measure as an attempt to protect women's rights."

Anyway, he owned a Jaguar XKE, which I got to drive on occasion when he was stuck at the business but needed something picked up or a burger whatever.

Very nice car. Fun to drive. I abused his trust a bit, but c'mon hot sports car, teenage guy- you do the math.

However, man, it seemed like that car was in the shop every other week. But fabulous car when it worked.

406 Speaking of British cars:

My mother didn't learn to drive until she was in her 30s. Her first car, given to to her for free by a friend, was the most unusual car you ever saw: It was an antique British Morris Minor bread delivery truck. Old-school delivery trucks normally have the steering wheel on the "wrong" side -- but because this was originally manufactured in the UK for the British market, he "wrong" side for the steering wheel was on the left -- it it ended up being on the correct side when driven in the US!

It was very small for a bread delivery truck, so ended up being approximately the same size as an American car It's main problem! Ran on a scooter engine. Had the least amount of get-up-and-go of any car ever manufactured. Max speed ~25mph, achieved after about a minute of building up momentum.

That was the car my family had when I was a kid. It had no sats other than the driver's seat - -the kids just goofed around in the flat back area. When it finally broke down, there was no way to fix it, because not a single car-repair shop had the parts or had even even heard of such a vehicle.

SpaceX got a little over half the contract award for post-shuttle manned spaceflight than Boeing did. And it has delivered dozens of astronauts to the ISS and on other missions, while Boeing (that fatuously demanded ALL of the manned NASA business) has delivered half of one mission for double the money!
