2010 Jaguar XJ Configurator Launched

So what's wrong with that. The entire world buys tones of stuff made by Chinese. At least this is made in and by British, just owned by Indians.

my how the tables turned on the Brits haha

Interestingly TATA did not have anything to do with this car, apart from making available the money to ensure that it was produced.

yeh, I hav to agree...

I agree, but not fair 2 compare- this is more along the lines of passion BM portrays (ie. the 7), rather than the S - class.Completely different clients - the S is up against the Lexus Ls

not true at all. both the XJ and S-Class are considered wafty limousines. the LS is completely outclassed by both i feel, although it's along the same lines. the BMW is trying to be the sporty, younger one, and pits itself agains the Audi S8 and the Maserati Quattroporte. i have to say, i'm liking this low volume, niche car thing that Jag have got going on at the moment. they're like the British Maserati. fantastic. (and by the by, as a British Indian i take exception to the fact that ppl resent that Jag is owned by an Indian company. being proud of both my heritages, I'm glad that it's designed and made in Britain, and backed by the common sense and hard work ethic that India has to offer.)

@Sub39h: I would have to disagree with you on the subject of the Quattroporte. The Quattroporte is more of a M5/RS6/E63 fighter. The Quattroporte is much smaller than the 7er. Moreover, Jaguar is aiming to exit the wafty limousine segment of the market and follow more along the lines of the A8. I say this because of the design of the XJ and XF.

whoever gets driven in this car has class compared to someone being driven in an S-class... i think that's the difference. a person getting this car knows about passion, and history... a person getting an S-class is a wealthy business man who really doesn't care about automobiles or history, just that its the biggest benz in the line up. that's my view at least

yea i'm not feeling that wood wrap around either... it even has a cheap "Jaguar" badge right in the front... JUST to reassure you, you ARE in fact driving a jag lmao

i feel the same way haha

yawn! your opinion is wonderfully insightful and shares a significant amount of knowledge with everyone. thank you.

I think it's still a piece of Ford junk, TATA hasn't owned them long enough for this car to be TATA, same with the XF, these cars take a few years to design and build, plus im willing to bet that there are a decent ammount of ford parts in there.

Why because of all those LEDs on the dash?

no b/c design wise jag is slowy pulling away from the rest. look at the XF and now the XJ. it's brilliant and fresh compared to Benz or bmw or even lexus. all those other brands might have technology which jag doesn't have but jag makes up for it in class, reliability, and history. jag looks like a whole new car company with the new models just coming and coming out of the design studio.
