Sadly hardly British anymore with Jaguar now owned by Tata Motors and the i-Pace, according to Wikipedia (so it must be right?!?!), is built in Austria

I've just had a look at one on google, err ok so it's a dodgem
2200kg of bloat, no wonder the Europeans like it, a range of 240 miles (allegedly) and a 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds (one or the other, but not both) Where do these modern styling cues come from I wonder? I'm sorry it's not something I'd wish to own. I cannot wait for the near future to arrive when our ageing foreign owned electricity networks are overwhelmed by the increase in demand, and decrease in generating capacity...........still never mind the people who have chosen to become "energy conscious" by installing a "smart" meter won't mind waiting for the sun to shine, or the wind to blow to enable them to recharge their car Brian |

I just want to know what this emerging obsession that car makers appear to be having with greenhouses is? I'd rather not be roasted in the summer through a glass roof thanks very much.
As for the rest of the 'styling'.... what the heck is that? Change the grille and the badge and it could be any non-descript korean made eurobox. Dare I say that even Audi make a better looking car? And Brian is right 2200 kg Have you seen the pitiful lack of space in the back? It's essentially a 2+2 (i.e. a 2 seater with a token back seat). Why don't the manufacturers stop kidding themselves in this size car and just make a 2 seater? - you can spec it for carrying 1 person with no luggage 98% of the time and save 500kg of batteries!! (and it'd still weigh more than a 75!

The manufacturers seem to design there whole range by taking the smallest model and hitting the enlarge button on the design dept computer and making one design a bit longer, a bit higher, just look at the BMW endless numbers range!
