When is Jaguar going to target the wealthy but portly car owner who likes to eat while he drives? Forget about just drink holders, where's the built in dining tray for your plate?
They should be targeting the BLT friendly market!

Nah. That's the "Rump Wrangler XTC"
Sales pitch: Bi-sexuals! You'll just love the new Jaguar whether you're the one driving or the passive passenger!

Subarus have been so successfully marketed to lesbians (notice the Martina Navratalova ads, along with various LPGA pros) that they're commonly referred to as "Lesbarus"...Damn, I wish someone had mentioned this to me before I bought one. I never noticed any ads aimed at lesbians; I just knew I wanted a car I could take into muddy fields when reenacting, haul lots of horse equipment around in, and still get reasonable gas mileage. So I bought an Outback wagon, and it's been great. But lesbians?! Who'd a thunk it? Why do lesbians need Subarus?

Hmmm--never saw the Popeye one --sounds like a real winner !
And I have noticed the "men are idiots" and the "we don't need no stinkin' Dad" aspect in commercials -- just another subtle way to disintegrate the family (or are we all getting too philosophical here ??)

2. Many companies have been targeting homosexuals for years, just as they have blacks, hispanics, women...and wealthy old white guys. That so many are just now waking up to this realization is kind of funny.

There was also a gay Coors light ad and I think even Budweiser did one.

That the company has issued a press release to notify the public that they are specifically targeting this market makes it open to discussion.
I guess that they are looking for some feedback on their plans.
We are told that really everyone is alike but they we hear that different ad capaigns are needed to reach those markets.

I understand. I have a Continental. It's kinda like a Jag. For straight people.

Everyone stares at them in disbelief, except the waitress...
"2 eggs & ham, Jimmy"...

I buy American to begin with...We do too. Our 2 Chrysler LHSs (150,000 miles each) have been the best cars we have ever owned. We need to replace at least one or them, and the Caddy Deville seems to be the only candidate. I have always admired the Jag, however, but my husband (the engineer) has always said, "no." Too expensive to repair and too unreliable. They may be better now that they are owned by Ford, but he still doesn't trust them.
If you are not familiar with the body style of the mid-90s Chrysler LHS, you will note that it resembles an older model Jag sedan (60s vintage). That is as close to a Jag that I will ever get -- at least while I am married to this guy (44 years and counting). LOL

I thought SUBURU was the car of choice for lesbians and gays.
