> To help create original research, I ask that anyone with a few moments to

> 1. Do you own a Jaguar? If not, would you ever want one? Which one?

> 2. What does the name "Jaguar" mean to you?
>
> 3. What is your general idea of what a Jaguar owner is like?
>
> 4. What elements make a Jaguar a Jaguar?
>
> 5. What don't you like about Jaguars?
>
> 6. What do you see in older Jaguars that you want to see in the modern
> versions as well?
