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

I remember the electric Ferrari - hideous.

These companies mastered a design language and they've failed to maintain it in these EVs. You can take a chance with a radical new design, but don't be surprised if you fall on your face. Slapping jag or Ferrari on it doesn't make it look good.

BMW is another major offender.

    Really? I don't think the BMW i series look any different from their other vehicles.

    But all of them with the giant bucktooth pedipalp grilles instead of the Poirot mustache grilles look stupid.
