2009 Jaguar XJ Preview Comments

Nice one Jaguar. Thoroughly deserves to be a success. They've maintained a decent reputation for build quality too I believe. I hope the factory's ready for the orders. Wish I had £52k.

Well I for one can afford it, and it's a *very* nice car that would probably put high in my very short list along with BMWs and Audis, my last three cars (including an M3 E36) have been BMWs.

However in 2009 when you live in any big city, you tend to use public transports and taxis a lot. A car is like a money blockhole with the price of fuel being what it is, the parking problems/costs and insurance (not to mention theft). So my next car will probably be something reasonable and discrete...like a Toyota Prius. :-/

Not too bothered about the car, but I do like the idea of having a 1200w B&W stereo!

What T.M. says.
I do have a problem with the rear end looks. But no doubt It's just a matter of time to come to terms with it. The company are clearly trying hard. I await a JC/JM/RM review, and maybe a Stig lap...

Page 3: "And don't think that the 1200W of power is all about window shattering volume levels"

That's exactly my argument when people think I'm mad for getting a 505W surround system for my PC/Media Centre - high power doesn't have to mean high volume, it also means lots more head-room so there's less distortion at normal volume levels!

I like it, and I'm in the market for another car, but I'd still have to be twice my current age before I'd consider getting a Jag. Sorry Jaguar! Better luck next time :p

the rear looks a bit citroen to me. c6 i think.

Is it just me or does the front like like an aggressive Volvo?
