Jaguar has had terrible leadership since Ford divested them. They ignored the move to SUVs until they were all but irrelevant. Then the biggest SUV they sold was the F Pace, which was X3 sized and a compact, from the "big luxury car" brand. They let XJ and XF die on the vine. E and F pace became the "bad credit ok" options in their segment. XE was just a failure all around.

At this point, closing Jaguar is a mercy killing.
Ford kept the Weekend-at-Bernie's car company afoat, Jag should have died long ago before FoMoCo bought it in 1989.

Imagine being the type of person who celebrates the failure of a car brand.

But yeah...sucks for Jaguar. The only one I've had is the F-Type SVR, and I absolutely love it. It has kept its spot in the garage while I've shuffled through a dozen or so other cars.

It's basically a Hellcat that I can drive in my neighborhood without getting pulled over. The interior, build quality, and driving dynamics are nothing special...but it makes silly noises and goes fast when you mash the pedal. Sometimes that's all you want. And it's one of the best looking cars ever made.

Sad to see another big cat enter "critically endangered" status on the endangered species list.
