EUROPEAN CARS HAVE OFTEN BEEN DEFINED BY THE PEOPLE THAT BUY THEM. CERTAIN ITALIAN
CARS, FOR EXAMPLE, CATER TO THE PLAYBOY IMAGE. ROLLS ROYCE'S ARE STILL USED IN SOCIALIST
CARTOONS WHERE A BLOATED PLUTOCRAT SMOKES A FAT CIGAR AND VINTAGE BENTLEYS ARE IN
THE BULLDOG DRUMMON TRADITION OF HEROES WHO RESCUE YOUNG DAMSELS IN DISTRESS.

THE JAGUAR, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAS APPEALED TO SO MANY PEOPLE WITH SO
MANY CARS THAT IT IS NOT REALLY POSSIBLE TO CHARACTERIZE IT IN THIS WAY.
