Total retards not to see this coming during the pitch process.

According to Autocar sources, McGovern was "escorted out of the office."

Damn, not a "pack your shit and leave" firing; haven't seen one of those in years. Usually the fuck-ups just get fail upwards, but it's kind of refreshing to see some accountability for once.

Nothing shows confidence in your new product like firing the guy behind it before it even launches.

The car design itself is kinda avante gard and might actually look cool gliding down the street, but that rainbow fashion show roll-out......nope.

But a return to smooth rounded sleek body styles, I could get behind that.

One wonders if said new product will even launch, or if it gets scuttled.

In Europe this year they have sold 49 vehicles

Jaguar fires The Man....

May I ask for the pronous of this person? Because I have my doubts.

 

[Miles708]

They are firing a single person as if a company-wide rebrading is not something all the managers should first analyze and approve anyway.

 

[Haint]

Are they still gonna release the Gaymobiles or scrap everything?

Yes, because they stopped producing cars in 2024. The brand was in trouble before the redesign and they haven't produced a single product under the new design direction.

 

[HoodWinked]

Probably deserves to be fired but he was only the designer of the car, the people who really destroyed the brand was the marketing team and everyone that approved it.

 

[Days like these...]

We can only dream
