Jaguar Type 01

So.....was it worth waiting for?

Fugly!

I'm obviously not the person they are aiming it at, so Jaguar probably don't care about my thoughts about it. Which is extremely handy as I think it looks horrid. Still, it does get plus points for not being a SUV.

Quite like that view, back is awful though. In typical JLR fashion; what the hell were they thinking with the charging door!!

The side visibility with the heavily bolstered window frames must be very poor - hopefully this is just a styling rendition as the body's ground clearance as pictured must mean minimal suspension travel.
But having said all that what today may seems like a dreadful looking vehicle could, perhaps become a styling icon that other manufacturers could follow.........perhaps.

Here's Vicki's take on it......

When is the craze for big wheels with 'rubber band' tyres going to be over? My modern Mustang wears 19's and the ride on anything other than a billiard table is abysmal - 23's are going to need some very clever suspension to give the ride you'd expect from a £120k luxury barge.

It looks perhaps far less ungainly in the flesh.......but using huge door mirrors when it already features a rear-looking camera instead of mirror? - why not small screens each side to the dash to match the positioning logic of the rear view 'screen'?
