Default iPhone app 75 years of Jaguar

I'm not sure but while reviewing the iPhone Jaguar app for their 75 year celebration (released fall of 2010), there is NO S-Type!!! Can anyone find it or explain why in an app that is supposed to represent the last 75 years of Jaguar's history that they wouldn't included the s-type?

Also, I just notice this website was revamped slightly and the search is difficult and the page load times have increased dramatically? I haven't been on it in a while.

They're an odd company. The S-Type appears no longer to exist now it's not made. Makes you feel appreciated....... or does it?

What's even stranger is that they have everything else; e-type, d-type, etc. I don't get it. I believe the s-type saved this company. It's their highest selling, thus most popular, production care ever.

I do hope you're not bringing FACTS into this!!

Was it? I didn't know. I would've guessed the X-Type sold more.

After many iPhone Jag app updates still NO s-type! That's really crappy of jag! The s-type was made prior to 1999 wasn't it?

Original S-Type had a run in the mid 1960's based off of the Mark 2 platform. I'd be shocked if that one was also omitted.

"Our" S-Types were first sold in 1999 I believe.

That was my understanding as well.

I also was under the impression that the X-Type was the volume leader.

The X-Type was Jaguar's best-selling model during almost all its production run,[11] but sales did not meet projections, peaking at 50,000 in 2003.[11] In the United States, the car's primary market, sales dropped from 21,542 in 2004 to 10,941 in 2005.[11] In the same year, Audi sold 48,922 A4s, BMW sold 106,950 3-series and Mercedes-Benz sold 60,658 C-classes.[11]

hmm, might be that (number sold) x (average price) was larger for the S-Type than the X-Type.

In 2010, Tata Motors acquired 80% stake in Italy-based design and engineering company Trilix for a consideration of €1.85 million. The acquisition is in line with the company’s objective to enhance its styling/design capabilities to global standards.[12]
that was kinda interesting, i didnt know that.

See that is what I thought, that the s-type was "reborn" in 1999. But the iPhone app (75 Years of Jaguar) does not have the s-type. It has everything else...
And I think if you look closely at one of the e-type images, there is an Stype sign in the background >
But still leave it out of the history, how could they.
I wrote Jaguar corp and got no reply back.
The app is available free from iTunes: named 75 Years of Jaguar. By IQuest, FP Creative

No S-type.
