| Jaguar’s New Brand Ambassador, Fittingly, Is a London-Based Villain |
Feb 12th, 2014 |
|
Our advertising guru, Don Klein, believes that Jaguar’s “Rendezvous” Super Bowl commercial will have folks thinking about the brand “in a fresh, new light.” We suspect Jaguar intends that light to illuminate traits like intelligence, panache, and power, and stop customers from associating the company alongside tired British tropes like giant fuzzy hats, general stodginess, [...]

|
In stark contrast to parent company BMW, which is currently in the process of ginsu-slicing its lineup into a zillion tiny slivers—hello, 4-series Gran Coupe, 3-series Gran Turismo, X4, et al.—Mini appears set to reduce its number of model lines and make the ones that remain more distinct from one another.
