Very accurate. The Chrysler 300 was often referred to as a Baby Bentley and very popular in LA County especially Long Beach & Compton (aka South Central LA) for obvious reasons. I live in Alameda County in northern CA & 10-15 years ago everyone around here used to have a Prius or Civic Hybrid, but since the popularity of Tesla everyone now drives a Tesla. I rarely see anyone with Hondas or Toyotas anymore except the Rav4 Hybrid. One thing I'll say about my wealthy friends is they all came from the upper middle class so they didn't really buy expensive cars. Only my British friend who started his own Poker analytics firm bought an Aston Martin db9 in the depths of the GFC and he rarely drives it that much.
Stereotyping people according to the types of cars is so wrong and think you can make money from it is even more wrong. Whoever came up with this woke rebranding crap needs to be fired and sued for damaging the reputation of Jaguar and the efforts of all who worked so hard to make Jaguar a fine car. You can want to rescue the sale of a car. Find out truly what people want and look for in a car, incorporate it in your design and manufacturing and that's how you make money. Jaguar did that before and that's why it was successful. Now its sales is plummeting because it's lost touch with people. Think that just because somebody cut off his dick to go from being a bro to a bra would buy a Jaguar is just very sad.
i had a beautiful 2014 XKR and it was probably the best "land jet" i ever owned. unbelievable handling with a bilstein electronically control active suspension. but as poopy knows i like muh bently also... and maybe a dreamt up truck lol
Unfortunately, this wasn't some sort of joke, the CEO has already doubled-down, and now accuses loyal fans-turned-critics of being.... (drum-roll).... hateful and intolerant. Shocking, isn't it?
It reminds me of the Video Gaming journalists turned SJW activists especially from Kotaku back in 2014-2016. It has become known since then as Gamergate. Some people have associated the Gamergate movement with the Alt-Right, but my memory was that the fans that didn't want the cultural change in video gaming storylines was a mixed bag of left & right. They were just people who didn't want their games to change so radically. Also later on during the 2016 reboot of Ghostbusters & eventually the Star Wars reboots the Directors famously would go on Youtube and blame the old Star Wars fans of being hateful, racist & sexist. Kathleen Kennedy completely destroyed the old Star Wars ethos and brought in her curly sue characters. It happened to Marvel as well. I think these events are partly to blame for the downfall and collapse of Disney stock. Of course they got taken by Murdoch by overpaying greatly for his Fox Movie catalog in 2018 (he kept the Fox TV networks including FoxNews, Fox & FBN).
Sophomoric or not idk. And don't get me wrong, I like nice things, but I'd rather not risk being pretentious. Of course, I suppose conspicuous consumption is in the eye of the behold to some degree. Let's just say, between being ostentatious and understated... the latter is the lesser of two evils ;-)
snarky response: you supported a guy who shits on a gold plated toilet. real response: i've realized that being pretentious and buying fancy things are not related.
