Yes, these car companies are starting to get on my tits pillaging their past for a marketing gimmick. Porsche calling the Boxster a 718, BMW putting ///M badges on EVERYTHING, and now Jaguar using the E-Type name on a crap off roader?! Its the automotive equivalent of digging up Queen Victoria and taking her corpse on a hen do..
