In a bold move that has ignited both laughter and outrage, Jaguar recently unveiled its new electric vehicle, the Type 00, affectionately dubbed the "pink Batmobile" by social media users. With a striking Miami Pink color scheme, this car has become the center of attention, and not necessarily for the right reasons.
The backlash began immediately after the car's reveal at Miami Art Week, where it was presented as part of Jaguar's new "woke" branding strategy. Critics quickly took to social media, expressing their disbelief that a luxury brand like Jaguar would embrace such a flamboyant color and avant-garde design. Comments flooded in, with one user quipping, “Copy nothing? More like copy everything and make it pink!”
The Memes
The design features large rectangular grilles and a curved roof, which some have described as reminiscent of a futuristic vehicle from a cartoon. One particularly popular meme humorously suggested that the car is what happens when you let a toddler design a vehicle after binge-watching superhero cartoons.
While some fans of the brand are excited about the new direction, many longtime Jaguar enthusiasts feel betrayed. One disgruntled fan lamented, “This looks like something you’d find in a discount toy aisle!” Another chimed in with, “I never thought I’d see the day when I’d want to hide my Jaguar keys under my couch.”
Look at some of the funniest memes related to the new Jaguar:
Jaguar’s marketing team described the pink hue as a tribute to Miami’s vibrant culture. Its slogan “Copy Nothing” has also come under fire. Critics pointed out that the car seems to echo designs from other brands while simultaneously straying far from what made Jaguar iconic in the first place. Some of them have even pointed out the fact that the new design is very similar to the car which was shown in the famous show 'Pink Panther'.
Trending
Despite the trolling and backlash, there are those who appreciate the audacity of Jaguar’s new direction. Some fans have taken to social media to defend the design, claiming it has a certain “Cyberpunk 2077 energy” that they find appealing. However, even these supporters can’t help but chuckle at the sheer absurdity of it all.
Jaguar’s pink Batmobile has sparked an avalanche of memes and commentary across social media platforms. Whether you love it or hate it, one thing is clear that this car is here to stay, at least in our feeds. As we continue to watch this saga unfold, we can only imagine what other colorful surprises Jaguar might have in store for us next!
