The only redeeming feature of the F Pace is that the PHEV model, which you see a lot in London, does about 130 mpg.
Horrible looking cars though.

I used to work with a woman who drove an older Mercedes (maybe 12 years old, not vintage), our employer offered a lease car scheme where you could lease a car through a salary sacrifice, she got a VW Golf, and spent 2 years moaning that the neighbours probably thought she was poor now, as she "doesn't have the Merc anymore", and chopped the lease in as soon as she could, and paid considerable more to sign up for another lease on a Mercedes, so that the neighbours think she has more money.
She is also the person that went to M&S to buy reusable shopping bags for her weekly shop in Lidl, so that "the neighbours think I do all my food shopping in there"
Not sure who her neighbours are, but concerning themselves with her financial situation seemed to be priority 1.
(also, she didn't have a pot to piss in and would have been considerably better off, if she lived within her means, rather than trying to one-up people on her street who probably didn't even notice her)
I hate perceived image. I don't care what my neighbours think about me, and I don't think about them.
(edit: apologies for the @, was supposed to be its own rant)

What on earth does this mean? None of the definitions I found seem to fit.

Modern Jaguar cars. Particularly the F-Pace.
Exclusively bought by fragile ego'd pink thumbs who's main thought process whilst signing themselves up to crippling monthly repayment schemes was "the neighbours are gonna think we earn more than them when they see this Jaaaaag [in a Clarkson voice] on the drive". Whereas everyone will actually just continue to see them as the dullard drains on the earth's resources that they are.
They're bloody everywhere too. And I assume there's some sort of national hotline you can ring to report one if you see it without a personalised number plate.
It shouldn't boil my piss as much as it does as its probably not healthy, but I think my hatred is a manifestation of my anger about brexit and the tories in general.
