I have a 2005 XJR, and it is by far the best car i have ever owned or even ridden in! Not only do i beat every punk with a "sports car" But i do it in the ultimate lap of luxury! I was bouncing around between a bmw 7 series and the xj8, but then found an XJR in my price range and have never looked back haha
I love them both. CLS is a very nice Merc but this last styling of XJ was just perfection. The new one is a great car no doubt but this is my all time favorite XJ.
The Jag is just a creme to look at. Always wanted one like that, I could afford it, but than I couldn't afford our Belgian taxes, assurance, and I would have to leave a few other nice things in my life for it, before I could.
The Jag is elegant, beautiful and classy! The Merc is butch looking and all about power! Wrong to compare an XJR with a CLS. The S Class would be a better match considering both are considered as luxury saloons. I would still choose the Jag, the leather and wood are fantastic!
The jag has to be the one to choose any day of the week! Just pure class fantastic to look at and bloody quick too when need be! As for the merc is it just me or is it just instantly forgettable to look at?!?,it just doesn't have the sheer executive class that the xjr has!!
Amazing, thanks for the upload. I have been bouncing between CLS AMG and XJR (x350) for making a purchase. Surprised to see the Jaguar just a sec behind the AMG. CLS is my fav Merc sedan in stance and looks and is a bit prettier. But then, the XJR is so square and old fashioned :) the last of those kind of classics ..... and with this performance hmmm
The jaguars done well, considering it doesn't even have a limited slip differential and down on horse power. A few grand spent and that Jag would be pouncing in front quite happily!
The Merc Is an ok Car But really lacks Every day drivability Way to small back seat and the ride is always rough.. The jag is was better car for all around use ..and so what its a millisec slower around the track i dont know about yo but im not racing on the track that often ... Sorry Merc better luck next time
@Azureecosse That's your choice. Yes, jaguar designs are classic. Yes, Mercedes have changed since after merging with Chrylser in 90s. Their crash tests rating start to drop, quality drop. But now, they are better than most of the car brands in the world. Or can consider one of the best car brands in the world. The 300SL, I like it, it's classic and fast. Even faster than some modern cars. But classic cars people won't like it though.
Hmmmm, fair comparison? Don't think so! The Jag is standard, the Merc has been played with by AMG! Take the Jag to TWR (or their modern equivalent) and uprate it in a similar manner to how AMG uprated the Merc and then see - wouldn't mind betting the Jaga would massacre the Merc! Alternatively, how about a standard version of that merc Vs the standard Jag? Watched a similar video in German where the S-Type 3.0 was pitched against the BMW 330 (possibly M series) and the German commentator was forever saying "BMW ist besser" or similar - pitch the S Type against a 7 Series as it's more like the Jag in size and market demographic, not something half the size with a huge (for the size of the car) engine shoe-horned in and make it fair!
Not necessary take the Jag to a TWR. Is enought an LSD differential to beat the CLS in this circuit, and a supercharger pulley + porting of intake system and ECU reprogramming to be better in a drag race. Total cost? Around 800£ (1000€). And the Jag is better also in design
@Azureecosse Nonono. I disagree. The Jaguar looks really ugly to me. The Mercedes is nicer. Especially the S-Class. Look very unique and nice as well as sporty too.
Woul rather drive a ssang yong then a jaguar like this scarface. Your just a gay fanboy, like whole UK. LOL im 20, and i can spend 40k for a new car. Sure do in 10 years i can afford what i want. But you cant compare this piece of crap called jaguar (a shame for the animal), with a benz. At least, are you old enough for a car?? I dont think so. Your sounding like a lil kid who lost its lolly lol

Bugatti Veyron amen to that!

Seems like he could get around the track a little faster with less drifting.

Fifth Gear does not need a Stig because Tiff and Jason are world class drivers in their own right.
Cant say that about James, Hamster or Clarkson.
take the jag any day
The merc just looks awful
I will stick with my jag
The jag
Jag everyday.
i like this jags ~
Tiff has amazing driving skills. Thats about the only good thing 5th Gear has going for it.
lol i luv the way tiff drives, haha he takes crazy drifts while talking at the same time like he's not even trying

Damn dual fuel pump XJRs are a pain in the ass. You have to remove the tank to replace them.
The jaguars done well, considering it doesn't even have a limited slip differential and down on horse power. A few grand spent and that Jag would be pouncing in front quite happily!
agreed the top gear lot probably aren't as good as tiff , but they are all very good drivers
ohh yes you can! dunno if you've noticed but those three are pretty amazing drivers.
i just love 240p
this is a stupid question how do you turn on the fog lights on a 03 XJR Jag
Leo Villeneuve switch the light switch up to the top of press the light botton next to the wheel
Cant compare these, one is stock with less HP and the other tuned for race.
Jag FTW
song at the end = queens of the stone age - no one knows

Xjr over any merc please
True dat!

well this CLS is way cooler in my eyes. But it's just me
Mercedes looks nicer, comfortable. Only people who don't know about cars then says Mercedes is boring.
@Azureecosse
Nonono. I disagree. The Jaguar looks really ugly to me. The Mercedes is nicer. Especially the S-Class. Look very unique and nice as well as sporty too.
СLS is the most beautiful car on planet after E60. Jag is cool but not near Merc...
Both cars are but ugly. If i had to though i would go for the jag.
On looks alone the benz is so much better,
The Jag looks like grandmas car
Uglyest jaguar ever build
