Why Jaguar? - Motivation
Jaguar is one of the most refined and most respected brands in the automotive sector. When you say Jaguar you say luxury, agility, rarity. You buy a Jaguar not for its specifications, because you may find some competitors with better fuel consumption or with better acceleration, but this car has a “soul”. For someone who believes that cars are just a thing that carries you from one point to another my affirmation would sound crazy, would be nonsense, but for a car enthusiast is a fact.
Another reason for why am I doing my certificate about a car brand is my passion for cars. Since I was a kid I loved everything about cars: from the mechanical part to the design part. I know that you don’t buy a car; it chooses its owner, because the car is an extension of its driver. You must feel the car, you must know what it can do and what it can’t, you must test its limits and you must not go beyond them because you will be “punished”.
In the first part of my certificate you will find an introduction about the brand, with a short presentation of the history and also you will find stuff about the company in general.
In the second part I will present the cars that this brand commercialized over the years.
In the third part, I will make a short presentation about the cars that are sold in present.
In the fourth part, which also is the last one, I will write my own tribute to
