Jaguar says it can make you hot
British authorities slap caremaker for showing an excess of cheek in its advertising.
May 26, 2004: 1:40 PM EDT
LONDON (Reuters) - Luxury automaker Jaguar went too far with a steamy promotional mailing to prospective customers, UK advertising regulators said on Wednesday.
The Valentine's Day letter was signed "Elizabeth Jones" in a version sent to men and "Ian Major" in another sent to women.
It read: "So, what might drive you wild? Could it be the touch of skin on your fingertips? A long, honed body? Firm sensuous curves? A deep, responsive purr? . . . I think I have the perfect match for you. I'll send you a photograph next week."
A subsequent mailing contained information on Jaguar's XKR sports car.
Dozens of people who received the letter complained to Britain's Advertising Standards Authority, which ruled that the mailing was "sexually suggestive and, because it did not make clear that it was a marketing communication, was likely to offend or distress some recipients."
Jaguar apologized and agreed not to send similar mailings in the future.

Jaguar still searching for missing diamond

5/26/2004
The Monaco Grand Prix proved to be an expensive weekend for the Jaguar Racing team.
The team confirmed that they have not recovered one of the two $250,000 Steinmetz diamonds which had been implanted in the nose cones of their car as part of a promotion for the movie Oceans 12.
The nose of Christian Klien's Jaguar R5 was damaged in a crash at the Loews hairpin on the very first lap of the race, forcing the young Austrian out. However, when the car was returned to the team's garage, the diamond was missing.
"That will be the most expensive drive I'll ever take around Monte Carlo," remarked Klien.
Both the team and the Steinmetz Diamond Group confirm the flawless round brilliant diamond has yet to be returned, despite the offer of a brand new $65,000 Jaguar X-type car.
"We're searching a very large area for a very small diamond," said team spokesperson Nav Sidhu. "We're not expecting someone to turn up and say, 'Hey, we've found your diamond.'"
The team and Steinmetz say the diamond was destined to be auctioned off for charity at a later date.
Cynics have said that the missing diamond may be part of a ploy to further promote the upcoming movie which features George Clooney and Brad Pitt as international diamond thieves.
