Report: Design chief Callum says he'd like a Jaguar city car (Autoblog)
Filed under: Budget, Jaguar, UK, Design/Style, Luxury
When we think of British automobiles, they tend to land in one of two
extremes: big luxury vehicles from Bentley, Rolls-Royce and Range Rover on the
one hand, and Mini on the other. Both extremes are quintessentially British,
but if any company can bridge that divide, it's Jaguar.
The Coventry marque makes vehicles of various sizes, and if its design chief
has his way, it could branch southwards into the city car segment. Speaking
with Britain's _What Car?_ magazine, Ian Callum expressed his viewpoint that a
properly high-end small hatchback, coupe or sedan could anchor the shallow end
of the company's lineup, though he did qualify that his was a "personal view."
In that respect, any such car would be following in the footsteps of former
sister-company and longtime rival Aston Martin - whose DB7, Vanquish and
Vantage were also designed by Callum - which recently teamed up with Toyota to
offer the Cygnet city car. As long as Callum doesn't envision a Tata Nano with
a Leaping Cat on the hood, we'll wait and see how this turns out.
