Uh.. why is there a Jaguar advertisement on the front page?

[RbSX]

I've got firefox, but I don't have the adblock.

You missed the point of the thread.

Why would Jaguar have an advertisement on a site where most geeks would sooner spend their hard earned money on Hentai, a new GFX card, or a blowup doll than a nice luxury car.

 

[Zenmervolt]

Because Jaguar paid to put one there? Duhhhhh.

There are a lot of IT professionals who frequent this site. A decent number of people here make over 60K per year and are targets for Jaguar's market.

Bingo. AT isn't just a bunch of poor college kids, I've seen it used as the basis of stock market reports before, so there are some fairly rich people reading this site.

Because there's other people in the world that think differently than you that come to this site and... yes this might come as a shock to you... would rather buy the nice luxury car instead.

I know, my family has a jaguar.

I'm just saying I'm suprised because 90% of the people here can't afford it.

To the fellow who said there are IT professionals making 60k a year that are Jaguar's target.

The NICE jaguars cost 60K+, so those IT professionals would be saving up for a few years to get one.

Yawn. Aparently having wealthy people procreate doesn't guarantee smart offspring.

The X-type and S-type start at 30k-40k, definitely within reach of a lot of people.

Had there been an Aston Martin ad up there on the other hand, that'd be surprising.

OK I'm talking about real jaguars.

The X-Type is a almost exact copy of a Ford Contour, the S-Types aren't bad, I'm talking about the XJ series.

Now those are nice.

 

[bsobel]

Now those are nice.

Not really... (I guess beauty is in the hands of the beholder)

Yet people still drive them everywhere.

Um, there are plenty of wealthy AT'ers.

never underestimate the collective power of the lurkers.

Plus some of even the regular posters have decent incomes.

Now someone posting YACT: Should I buy the Jag or the MB? is probably going to be taking lightly even they were pulling in 6 figures+ a year.

What does that have to do with anything? Jaguar still makes cars for people in the "average income" range. Would it be surprising if Infiniti were to advertise on the front page because they have cars that are "too expensive" for ATers?

For once I have to agree with pepsi"stalker"90919. Average family income is what... 40? 50k? You need to be pulling in 6 figures to actually afford a Jaguar. Anyone who purchases it and makes less has their priorities out of whack.

 

[bonkers325]

because its overclocked

Sadly last I checked average or median (I forget...either way it's sad) household income was much less that 40-50k.
