My friend just bought a new Jaguar F Type convertible and brought it over to show my wife and me. After he left my 75 year-old wife exclaimed "That's the most beautiful car I've ever seen!".

Maybe when you're as old a many of us Villagers are you're not so worried about possible maintenance problems with your car 'cause you don't have to get to work. And not so worried about maintence problems years down the road for the same reason you don't need shingles with a 50-year guarantee.

Yes, JLR are now being manufactured in communist China. Enjoy the ride.

On the bright side, good sales up to 30% off for the brands are ongoing...

So much for communism.

I'm on my second Jaguar F-Type, just picked it up in Tampa on Saturday. I traded my 2015 F-Type for it and in the three years I owned it, no mechanical issues at all. I just wanted a newer model with more horsepower.

Oh, and both mine were built in England.

I drive a Porsche Macan and love it//
My wife drives a Lexus 350 RX and loves it as well
Knock on wood ..we have had Zero quality issues and was recently offered more then i paid for the Macan by the dealer as they are having chip supply issues and cant make enough
Would have loved to buy the Porsche true sports car but my knees would not allow a graceful exit..lol

I have always absolutely loved the styling of Jaguars, but I would not touch one with a 10-foot pole. I have better things to do than sit in a repair shop.

Chevy Trax their version of the Buick Encore is also made in China.

When I sold these brands and the manufactures announced that they would be manufacturing in China the first thing they said was that no Chinese produced vehicles would enter the U.S. but that that product was for the Asian markets specifically China.

The first thing they did was bring the Encore here for sale then Envoy, then Trax

And of course Cascada convertible dead seller is from Australia meant to sell against BMW, Audi and Mercedes. What a joke

Wrong! My 2018 Buick Encore made in Korea.

LMAO!

Many of those customized models (pos) wouldn't pass a normal state inspection. Hack jobs.

On my third F150 so...

The quality of Jags has always been a joke. This is not new. Land Rover went downhill when they became a luxury car

Think you have some names mixed up. The Buick Envison is built in China. The Cascada was built in Poland.

I own a 2020 E Pace Jaguar SUV I love it and it lives in Colorado!
 
I love my Jaguar!

I miss my Jaguar. It was the low-end X-type sports package model. In MGB Racing Stripe green (which I called money green). And a burlwood dash. 6-way automatic heated leather seats with lumbar support. Climate control, automatic windshield wiper sensors, heated side mirrors (they defrosted themselves). A subwoofer in the back. 6-cd changer. Long, sleek, sexy curves. It wasn't my #1 Jaguar dream-car but I got it for $20k still under warranty so I couldn't say no. Lost the transmission on it a year later and traded it in for the piece of crap tin can I still drive today, 12 years later.

If I'm ever super wealthy, I'll buy TWO Jaguars. 1985 XJ Vanden Plas, fully restored, both in racing stripe green, with updated sound system. Need two, so that I always have one to drive while the other is in the shop being fixed. It's the same as owning a Harley.
