Somewhere within a bunker, deep inside JLR HQ, a crack team is wrestling with a tricky question: how do you solve a problem like Jaguar?

Who’d have thought, even three years ago, that Ford would just kill off the Fiesta?

The sheer number of small cars on the roads, and those that have kept running for decades, offer a different approach to reducing the impact on the environment.

When I was out in the US recently on World Car Awards judging duty, the Lucid Air was one of the first sets of keys I grabbed. And as expected, it was something else.

Earthquake events like a Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) chief quitting come as huge shocks at the moment they’re announced, but the departure of CEO Thierry Bolloré “for personal reasons” has reportedly not been a complete surprise.

I think I get it. After years of letters proclaiming bias, of meeting people full of hate and bile, of hearing strange ‘Beetle’ jokes and being absolutely baffled as to how and why people could be so negative about a car that seems to encapsulate everything they proclaim to love about driving, something in me has changed. I’m sick of Porsche.
