Replacing £30k cars with EVs that sit at £100k. Honestly, how many people can really afford a £100k car?
SVR should have been used to produce an M car or RS rival. It hasnt. An oportunity missed. Bollore's plans have no place for the SVR division, just another part of JLR he's killed off.
I'm surprised Autocar hasn't exposed what's happening to Jaguar and what effect it will have on their employees.
