00:00:00.369 --> 00:00:03.900
- [announcer] Previously on Jalopinions.

2
00:00:03.900 --> 00:00:05.154
- Why not just get an E-type then,

3
00:00:05.154 --> 00:00:06.531
because that's just a copy of the E-Type.

4
00:00:06.531 --> 00:00:09.434
- Nah, the E-Type looks garbage.

5
00:00:09.434 --> 00:00:10.267
- You guys hear that?

6
00:00:10.267 --> 00:00:11.100
(record scratching)

7
00:00:11.100 --> 00:00:13.298
- [announcer] You're watching Jalopinions.

8
00:00:13.298 --> 00:00:15.075
- On this iPad is a random car.

9
00:00:15.075 --> 00:00:16.852
We're gonna debate it.

10
00:00:16.852 --> 00:00:19.058
- [Steve] The Jaguar E-Type.

11
00:00:19.058 --> 00:00:20.003
- Overrated.

12
00:00:20.003 --> 00:00:22.094
- One of the most
beautiful cars of all time.

13
00:00:22.094 --> 00:00:24.793
Just like, oh, by
everyone's standards, Steve.

14
00:00:24.793 --> 00:00:25.936
- Yeah, but that's the
thing, everyone has,

15
00:00:25.936 --> 00:00:27.782
I think, talked about this for so long

16
00:00:27.782 --> 00:00:29.673
that nobody's ever rethought it.

17
00:00:29.673 --> 00:00:31.358
We live in a world with the Datsun Z.

18
00:00:31.358 --> 00:00:32.191
- Oh my God.

19
00:00:32.191 --> 00:00:34.301
- We live in a world with the FD RX-7.

20
00:00:34.301 --> 00:00:35.717
- The FD RX-7 is overrated.

21
00:00:35.717 --> 00:00:37.424
- You're gonna tell me that an E-type,

22
00:00:37.424 --> 00:00:38.955
which looks like a tongue,

23
00:00:38.955 --> 00:00:41.318
looks better than either of those cars.

24
00:00:41.318 --> 00:00:42.173
- Yeah, I will.

25
00:00:42.173 --> 00:00:43.589
I will, and everyone else will.

26
00:00:43.589 --> 00:00:44.692
Everyone else will.

27
00:00:44.692 --> 00:00:47.460
It's just like regarded as
the most beautiful car ever,

28
00:00:47.460 --> 00:00:48.383
because it is.

29
00:00:48.383 --> 00:00:50.294
The proportions, the little slats in the--

30
00:00:50.294 --> 00:00:52.413
- The proportions are garbage.

31
00:00:52.413 --> 00:00:53.821
- You're garbage.

32
00:00:53.821 --> 00:00:56.176
- Yes. Have you met me?

33
00:00:56.176 --> 00:00:57.729
- Unfortunately.

34
00:00:57.729 --> 00:00:58.876
It's just,

35
00:00:58.876 --> 00:01:00.699
it's an exercise in design

36
00:01:00.699 --> 00:01:02.928
that every single sports car

37
00:01:02.928 --> 00:01:05.647
has pretty much copied since then.

38
00:01:05.647 --> 00:01:08.855
- It does not have a hard
character line on it.

39
00:01:08.855 --> 00:01:10.137
- It doesn't need one.

40
00:01:10.137 --> 00:01:11.543
You like that soft, friend shape

41
00:01:11.543 --> 00:01:14.197
- I do, but that's not a friend shape.

42
00:01:14.197 --> 00:01:16.627
It's just disproportionate.

43
00:01:16.627 --> 00:01:18.719
It's too long. It's too
soft. It's too bubbly.

44
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:19.552
- [Andy] It's too long?

45
00:01:19.552 --> 00:01:20.745
That's for the, it's for the engine.

46
00:01:20.745 --> 00:01:22.208
It's for the 4.2 lit--

47
00:01:22.208 --> 00:01:24.773
It's for the 3.8, the
4.2 liter straight six.

48
00:01:24.773 --> 00:01:27.134
And then that V12 later that
we don't have to talk about.

49
00:01:27.134 --> 00:01:28.147
because that one's not very good.

50
00:01:28.147 --> 00:01:30.960
- Yeah, because you need 40 feet of car

51
00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:32.593
in front of your windshield
for an inline six.

52
00:01:32.593 --> 00:01:36.116
Every BMW ever is a thousand yards long.

53
00:01:36.116 --> 00:01:38.073
- Yes. My mine is very long.

54
00:01:38.073 --> 00:01:40.583
My Z4 harkens back to--

55
00:01:40.583 --> 00:01:43.262
Every single car that you're gonna say

56
00:01:43.262 --> 00:01:44.665
right now is better looking

57
00:01:44.665 --> 00:01:48.220
owes its life to the E-Type Jaguar.

58
00:01:48.220 --> 00:01:51.122
- We got better at car
design after the E-Type.

59
00:01:51.122 --> 00:01:52.519
- No, we, we've only gotten--

60
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:55.376
- Datsun Z, FD RX-7, Toyota 2000 GT.

61
00:01:55.376 --> 00:01:57.030
(blowing raspberries)

62
00:01:57.030 --> 00:01:59.707
Even similar, Toyota did
it better with the 2000 GT.

63
00:01:59.707 --> 00:02:01.016
- [Andy] Toyota did do it better.

64
00:02:01.016 --> 00:02:02.101
- Oh you! Oh, I'm mad at you.

65
00:02:02.101 --> 00:02:02.934
I'm mad again.

66
00:02:02.934 --> 00:02:03.767
Get that away from me.

67
00:02:03.767 --> 00:02:04.600
Steve's an idiot.

68
00:02:04.600 --> 00:02:06.669
For more on all things Steve being stupid,

69
00:02:06.669 --> 00:02:07.502
- Steve is right.

70
00:02:07.502 --> 00:02:09.641
Steve is correct and Andy has never--

71
00:02:09.641 --> 00:02:10.607
Because here's the thing.

72
00:02:10.607 --> 00:02:13.062
This is a thing you are told
to believe is a car enthusiast.

73
00:02:13.062 --> 00:02:14.343
You are told that the E-Type

74
00:02:14.343 --> 00:02:15.826
is the best looking looking car,

75
00:02:15.826 --> 00:02:17.832
and you never think about it.

76
00:02:17.832 --> 00:02:18.665
It's like, you know,

77
00:02:18.665 --> 00:02:19.783
it's like when you grow
up and you're like,

78
00:02:19.783 --> 00:02:21.767
"Oh, I'm supposed to go off
and get married and have kids."

79
00:02:21.767 --> 00:02:22.793
Nobody ever rethinks these things.

80
00:02:22.793 --> 00:02:23.626
Nobody ever thinks about

81
00:02:23.626 --> 00:02:25.695
what makes them as an individual happy.

82
00:02:25.695 --> 00:02:30.695
What makes them as an individual
appreciate car design.

83
00:02:30.906 --> 00:02:32.597
(soft music)
