What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAs promised, the electric Jaguar.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe British carmaker has unveiled an all-electric vehicle priced at one hundred thirty thousand dollars, and CNN is asking the obvious question: why?

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBecause luxury is a feeling, Hank. And this one is a very quiet feeling with leather seats.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt costs more than most houses in some towns. Smaller towns. With fewer porches.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOne hundred thirty thousand dollars.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFor the price of a kitchen renovation, you can silently glide past the kitchen.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSilently, Vera. Pedestrians used to hear Jaguars coming. Now they get a gentle breeze and a hospital visit.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat is a very dark way to read a car launch.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHe has a point. Quiet engines are a known thing.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHank agrees with me. Mark the calendar.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMark it with the protein bar. It's been through worse.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe car is expensive and silent. So, a library with a lease.
