Jaguar executives took to Jalopnik to post a lengthy response to its portrayal on "Mad Men" this season — including a scene in which Lane Pryce tries to gas himself in one of their cars, but can't because of starter trouble.

"We have never been so happy to see our car not start," wrote David Pryor and Stuar Schorr. They are Jaguar North America's vice presidents of marketing and communications, respectively.

They wrote on the auto site about their mixed feelings toward a season that has included countless shots of beautiful cars — but also one fictional Jaguar employee demanding sex in exchange for his business, another cheating on his wife at a bordello, and, finally, Lane's failed suicide attempt.
