Discontinued in the US

“Jaguar is looking to simplify its model lineup in the US and abroad in an effort to remain profitable. That means that Jaguar will not only abandon some of its beloved sports car and sport sedan models, it will also cease sales of wagons in the US altogether. In addition, an increasingly distracted and decreasingly engaged car-buying public has also forced Jaguar’s hand (and left foot): no more manual transmissions after this year.”

Sad, but not surprising. Everyone said it was good but not good enough.

there are several languishing at the local dealer I drive by daily. Wonder if they’re “cheap” yet?

I keep forgetting about Jaguar...the XF sportbrake is a nice car. I got to test drive one last year at the auto show. If depreciation hits these like a bag of bricks it might get on my car buying radar.

Great looking car with a garbage infotainment system.

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen any of these on the road..

Never seen one either. I think crappy infotainment is the least of this car’s problems.

I forgot they even sold them here in the first place. Yawn. Jaguar? LOL

They went downhill when they stopped using the awesome hood ornament.

You’re probably right, but I’d argue that people paying 55-65 + for one of these would want a radio to work well, like in say a BMW, MB, or Audi.

However, they should probably advertise it if they want sales, but that seems to be an issue with most wagons that are brought over.

I saw a red one in Palm Beach about a year ago.

So Jaguar is discontinuing every vehicle worth buying, at least in the US .

I’m calling it now. We’re in the middle of a malaise era for cars, and it seems to be getting worse .

Me to, only problem is absolutely no one bought one so there won’t be any used ones to depreciate.
