Had to take the wife's rover in for service, and ended up driving the new Jag XF supercharged. I got on it as much as the sales dude would let me, but I was struck at how the car drove, and the fit and finish of it. Truly impressive, especially when you consider 68k gets you 470 horsepower AND COMFORT ACCESS IS INCLUDED AT NO CHARGE.

The new Jag is one tight ride. Although Jaguar has improved on their product quality, I'd still wait a few years to see how well their current new models hold up before giving them serious consideration.

My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
Not a fan, they are owned By Tata now - wonder how that will affect reliability? (like being a Ford product was a good thing? ) My mom had a V-12 XJ coupe when I was a kid and it spent way more time in the shop than on the road.

I have only really seen the XK and although the car drives nice, and even rev matches the down shifts, the build quality is just horrible.
