Images of Jaguar’s latest concept car have leaked ahead of its official reveal this evening, and it is quite the eyesore.
The British car manufacturer, which was once an iconic brand associated with style and elegance, seems determined to butcher its reputation by going all out on woke propaganda.
Last month, the company released an ad featuring a handful of ethnically diverse and seemingly gender-fluid individuals prancing around wearing bizarre pieces of clothing.
As well as serving as a teaser for their new concepts, the ad was an attempt to feature their new “funky” logo, replacing the iconic image of a leaping jaguar that has always been the centerpiece of their brand.

The basic standard which any Jaguar must reach is simple: “Would John Thaw look good in this driving around Oxfordshire romancing recent widows and drinking proper beer?”
This does not reach that standard, to say the least. https://t.co/EUhbNUpAl3 pic.twitter.com/AP4qxJGUi7

Despite the inevitable backlash, the company’s managing director has doubled down on his company’s woke rebrand and described his critics as intolerant.
“If we play in the same way that everybody else does we’ll just get drowned out,” he said in a recent interview with The Financial Times.
“So we shouldn’t turn up like an auto brand. We need to re-establish our brand and at a completely different price point so we need to act differently.”
“We don’t want to necessarily leave all of our customers behind. But we do need to attract a new customer base.”
Now, the market must give its verdict.
