It was shocking only to the New York Post and their kind.

It's a misnomer to think that the American economic system is capitalism; it's corporatism. Likewise, its system of government isn't democracy; it's plutocracy. These distinctions may seem subtle but they make all the difference in the world. It also explains why the US can't fix its problems.
If Indians can break up with the phrase "We will", they'll become a real power in the world.

Yeah sure, blame the adverting agency and not the Indian owner and management’s decision to obliterate the quality of the cars they make via corner cutting to squeeze out more profits and do everything in the book and more to sleaze out of honouring warranties.
The Jaguar brand must still be worth quite a bit, an easy opportunity for a Chinese EV maker to buy out or JV to gain market access? I'm thinking one of the lesser known (in the West) brands not Xaomi or BYD. Such a tactic worked pretty well for SAIC with the MG brand AFAICT. Not sure how Geely is feeling about acquiring Lotus though. BMW buying Mini brand seems to have been very successful.
I'd love to see some fine old British marques brought back to life with new technology.

Jaguar was never a brand renown for it's quality, the opposite in fact.
The marketing isn't the sole issue, they actually have literally no cars to sell. They shut down production of their ICE cars
However, despite announcing they will go all EV, they had no EV architecture in place...
Geely's main focus was to get a share in Proton as an entryway into the SEA market. The acquisition of Lotus was basically a side effect. It was rumored that Tata was shopping Jaguar (without Land Rover) around, basically to Chinese companies. Chery is their JV partner in China, they have signed on to do a Freelander reboot, that's it so far. Chery was a rumoured logical partner since their international sales have been growing steadily.
The funny thing is Jai Hinds were boasting that Jaguar is now Indian coz they own it.
Well since they own it, that means they should take full responsibility and blame for all the bad stuff that happened lately. No? That seems rather unfair to claim ownership yet none of the responsibilities.
This was their Jaguar EV car. It was dead long before arrival.
