How odd on an almost $90K car that there is only ONE back up light. I wonder how much it saved?

That changed starting in `10 when they went to the LED tail light clusters. There are two now.

It is odd. When I picked up my car from a top local Jag dealer, I checked all light and noted that only one backup light worked. So, the old, experienced salesmen scurried right off to service with the instructions to fix the non working one. Even he did not know that only one was supposed to work.

It's normal in Britain to only have one reversing light, and Jaguar is (supposedly) British, albeit now Indian owned, I believe by Tata. Maybe it's a heritage thing!?

Still they build and design these vehicles to export to various markets. Guess that's why the steering wheel is on the left.

Oh well it is what it is.
