I don't know how palatable it would be for VW to sell a Chinese developed Architecture in the US and europe. Thus, I foresee the MEB+ or SSP will end up replacing MEB for the EU and North America. As of now this isn't allowed in the US https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/23/us/politics/chinese-software-ban-cars-biden.html   https://www.electrive.com/2024/11/11/volkswagen-anhui-could-scrap-the-meb-in-china/  

Still no.

For Europe, they basically have, Fiesta, Focus and Mondeo all gone those were the bulk of sales for Ford Europe, now they struggle to sell anything…what’s left is basically over priced.

VW just cancelled MEB completely and are now looking  the use  XPENG based BEVs in their place both in China and Europe/ ROW.  

I’m not sure Jag got the message that going all in on EVs could be a perilous choice. 

I'm not sure where that image came from, but I don't think that's it.   Jag hasn't unveiled anything yet - it'll debut Dec 2 I believe.   They're set to debut a few concept vehicles.

Yup, hopefully ICE gets healthy updates too for the time being.

By now, pretty much everyone has seen or knows about that new Jaguar ad which they show every new Jaguar car on sale today, which is nothing, because they're taking a year off to develop the new Jaguars which will compete with Bentley and other such expensive product.   The ad was strange, but clever in the way that people started talking about Jaguar. I pretty much decided to give them the benefit of the doubt until the product was shown and maybe it would knock me out.  Well, it did, but not in a good way. My god, WTF is up with that? A ultra luxury car should ooze passion and not be a soulless blob like this. It looks like ironed out tin foil, with no character on a generic coupe design.    This does nothing for me and the design would have a hard time competing with the $30,000 bracket. If they had the same performance would anyone pick this over a Subaru BRZ? This totally doesn't work in the Bentley segment.

Interesting view from Ricard Truett (Automotive News) who has seen the new Jag:   https://www.instagram.com/reel/DC4WQ3bs84b/?igsh=MW8yZWgzODFlZm5rdw%3D%3D      

When I bought an F-150 Lightning, its performance made the V8 F-150s I owned previously not so cool anymore 😄
