Ryan McManus @ryantomorrow.bsky.social · 22hOk, I slept on it and I’m back to mad. Not because I don’t think it’s a great car or even an interesting car. But it does not feel like a JAGUAR. Jaguars, even in the depths of 80s/90s wedge fever, ALWAYS were organic forms, curved and muscular. Animals. This is a cage for an animal. 641209

Ryan McManus @ryantomorrow.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Hey we agree for once! That’s reason enough to celebrate. 020
Ryan McManus @ryantomorrow.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I’ve reversed myself on the Type 01. It seems like a great car for the money and will be a stunner in better colors. I’m glad it exists. I hope Jaguar lasts a thousand years. 120

Ryan McManus @ryantomorrow.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It’s pretty good! The wheels are shit and that charge door is inelegant but the proportions translated OK from the coupe concept. I struggle to think how they’ll make an SUV that doesn’t step on LR tho. 100

Ryan McManus @ryantomorrow.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The difference is neither Japan nor Korea could fully displace American auto manufacturing by volume alone. China can (and they are further ahead than the others were, AND improving faster. We are probably 2 years from their LS400 Moment) 110

Ryan McManus @ryantomorrow.bsky.social · 02/10/2026See that's the beauty of it—worry about the edges and the center sort of takes care of itself (so long as you continue to build competently). They will lose share—they all will—but they will at least have some edge territory for a bit longer. 120
Ryan McManus @ryantomorrow.bsky.social · 02/10/2026There’s a reason Jose Muñoz is worried about China in the US: he sees how in Europe the Japanese/Korean OEMs are first to be displaced because their product is commodity. Also why we’re getting XRT “Pro” in the USA. 010

Ryan McManus @ryantomorrow.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The world of Politics and the Auto industry are at the same inflection point: the middle is death. Moderate positions have no airtime. Stand for something, ANYTHING, instead of trying to stand for everything. 2131

Ryan McManus @ryantomorrow.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I don’t believe there is a moat or a wall that will hold. Product freshness, design experience, and maybe product competence (not even excellence) will define the next Age. My advice to CEOs? Abandon the customer that treats your product as a commodity before they abandon you. 010
