This all bodes well for when we eventually get to drive the final production of the Type 00. But of course there’s much that can still go wrong between now and then. And considering the company’s form of late, you wouldn’t bet against fate dealing Jaguar yet another bad hand.

Glover is clear all this was necessary, however, to ensure the survival of the brand. “Jaguar had to change. Jaguar was not commercially viable,” he says. “We think there’s a space right at the top end of premium, but underneath the uber luxury of the Rolls Royce, the Lamborghinis, the Bentleys. There’s a big gap between 140,000 euros and 300,000. There’s not a lot going on there in terms of volume. Jaguar has been successful in that place in our past.”

Glover adds that this four-door GT is “not going to be the largest volume seller in the range of Jaguars that are to come—but the role of this car is to position us at this price point.” What’s more, Glover confirms Jaguar is already way down the road developing the EV coming after this GT, which will land in the same price bracket.

“The next car is locked,” he says. “We know exactly what it’s going to look like—inside and out. And it’s going to follow pretty quickly.” Jaguar has already made the first battery prototype of this next car, and, unlike the GT, Glover says this “car 2” will be the volume seller, the EV to turn around the brand’s financial fortunes.

However, considering the seismic shifts taking place this very week in automotive land, might Jaguar use this last opportunity to hedge its bets, take a leaf out of Ford’s book and rethink to producing combustion versions of these relaunch electric vehicles?

Glover looks doubtful in the extreme: “Anything’s possible, but it’s not in our plan.”

The Black Friday streaming deals bonanza is over. But holiday streaming deals continue in December, and some of the December deals are better than the one I signed up for in November. Buyer’s remorse is eternal, but this time it’s also reversible.

The best December streaming deals are ad-free. It’s not an eye-poppingly low number, but you can get a 4K-streaming, ad-free bundle of HBO Max, Disney+, and Hulu for $33. That’s more than 40 percent off—or $23 less than list price. But most important: no ads.

In fact, I plan to upgrade to the no-ad bundle. Because it turns out I don’t like ads. No ads means no regret when the climactic scene in an old Homeland episode is abducted by a discount car insurance company, instead of whoever else was supposed to do the abducting. This said, the ad-supported HBO/Disney bundle is also on a 40 percent off deal. And so are a number of other bundles—so many bundles, including an Apple TV/Peacock bundle that’ll let you stream NFC playoff games and the Super Bowl for barely more than the price of Apple TV on its own.

Here’s a quick guide to the best streaming deals and streaming bundles in December 2025. Note that we’re not including every TV streaming offer on the planet, just the ones that are actually good deals at the moment.

Regular Price Without Bundle: $56/month

Every Grindr user is unique. Italian men love feet. South Koreans prefer open relationships. The highest percentage of self-proclaimed “daddies” call the US home and Switzerland is overrun with twinks. Delivered by annual trend report Grindr Unwrapped, those critical insights offer the type of information that will help usher the company into its “AI-first” era where it’s “the everything app for the gay guy,” CEO George Arison tells WIRED.

Grindr was the first to leverage geo-location tech when it burst onto the scene in 2009. Arison arrived at the company in 2022 from the world of automotive ecommerce. With him at the helm, the company has undergone “a bit of a refounding,” he says, including a major overhaul of staff—85 percent of current 160 US employees were hired in the last three years—and bigger investments in product.

All of his moves, he says, have been about building trust with users. Grindr may indeed be the most popular gay dating and hookup app in the world, but its popularity has only made it a target of controversy, including a 2024 lawsuit that alleged users’ HIV status and testing information was shared with third-party vendors and, in July, criticism for blocking users who posted the phrase “no Zionists” in their profile. Skepticism over Arison’s conservative politics probably hasn’t helped either.

Even so, Arison tells me he is laser focused on the task ahead. One that almost didn’t happen. Controlling stakeholders Raymond Zage and James Lu submitted an offer to take the company private in October. The bid—a buyout that valued the company at $3 billion—came to an anticlimactic end in November when they failed to come up with the money. The acquisition could have potentially derailed Arison’s priorities, but for now, that’s all behind him.

This interview has been edited for clarity and length.

JASON PARHAM: Grindr is now positioning itself as more than a place for hookups. It wants to be a social everything app—why?

GEORGE ARISON: We didn’t really have a mission before 2023. But it was always more than a hookup app because it was being used for so many different things, but no one had said, OK, this is what we want to be. This year is when we really went after the gayborhood vision. Now we are actually building features that intentionally support all these different use cases in which people are engaged in on the app.
