The Type 01 is the first model to arrive from Jaguar’s rebirth. The British carmaker was an early entrant to the modern EV market with the 2017 I-Pace, which was fun to drive even if it was too small inside and perhaps completely unreliable. An all-electric sedan was supposed to be next, but a year from the showroom, it was abruptly canceled, leaving the automaker with nothing to sell as old models like the F-Pace ceased production.

“The jag, it looks like a car you’d steal in Cyberpunk 2077,” said one Ars staffer approvingly. Credit: Jaguar

They don't know what to do with the face. They're afraid to go big, so they go bland and call it "understated elegance." The only clue it's a Jaguar is if you happen to notice the name on the front. At least the Rolls still looks like a Rolls.

Massive A-pillars. I guess if you can blow $150K on a car, you can afford to hit pedestrians.

    A Pillars are perfectly capable of hiding whole ass cars, too.

    Turning out of my apartment's driveway and entering the roundabout are two places I am regularly almost creamed thanks to the safety provided by a hefty A Pillar.
