    Jaguars have come a long way. Not quite sold on the new design but you cant argue with the overall package. Not to mention that sweet available Supercharged V8.

    I have not driven a R, but yes, I have driven most of Jaguar's recent 4.5-seater sedan/coupe range...as well as Merc's, BMW's, Lexus', and Audi's. Jaguars powertrain is years behind the competition and it's interiors used to remind me of old window covers. I am a BMW CCA member and currently drive a 997.1 C2S and a E92 335i.

    @Brooksbro91 the british car industry is without equal, if only if they could remain in profit. Jaguar, Range Rover, Rolls, Bentley, Aston, Lotus, Caterham, Ariel, Bowler, MG, TVR, McLaren, Fabrio, Noble [my favourite], Cosworth, XTM, MINI, Lister...
    Just pure iconic motoring. Something even the Italians fall short of.
    Cars are for driving and loving. Its either British, or its the subway.

  • @TheJohancha86
    @TheJohancha86 13 років тому +1

    @Brooksbro91 wish i had the 5.0V8 XJ shortwheel base. Seriously, I've owned bullet proof Lexuses and Lincolns throughout the years but they were so boring and diminished any sense of realism and passion. After a family member bought a British car [and suffered from reliability issues] I understood the true meaning of a car's character. I don't want the Jag for economy or convenience. The soul connection, beautiful aesthetics, crisp handling and raw power is something Lexus can't provide.

    I know it’s a personal view, but got to be honest their is something almost magical about a big JAG, when you drive one on a twisty demanding road, that’s when the manic happens, don’t believe me, then try one for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.

    1st off - Jaguar stype R never competed directly with e55 or RS ,or th bmw M5 - it was modled after them but competed more with M45 , LS430 , 545i A64.2 and provided a high performance car for similar price point

    The format is strandardised throughout Europe, but you can usually tell the plate country of origin from the small letter on the blue part of the plate (or the format of the lettering, standard UK has 7 symbols XX33 XXX) - In this case, the small white 'D' = Deutschland = German registered

    @pm512 Jaguar's used to have electrical problems, back when they had Lucas electronics. When Ford took over Jaguar, that changed and Jaguar became very reliable in all standards. Now, they are owned by TATA motors, and their quality went up even further.

  • @s54bmw
    @s54bmw 14 років тому

    @L571J The only way any of the companies you mentioned are not British, is because they are owned by people from other countries. That does not change the fact that they are British. The only way I would not consider them British is if the factories moved to India, and Indians were building and designing them. The designer for Jaguar is the same as the one for Aston Martin - Ian Callum. Ian is British also.

  • @mu51im
    @mu51im 14 років тому

    @seauryakumar At 20 years old I would recommend the XF as it is more of a youthful car. They are both excellent cars but the XF is better for the young driver as it is smaller than this so it won't handle like a barge, and is a more casual sort of car. This XJ is in my mind for being driven in, not driving.

  • @sooner3153
    @sooner3153 13 років тому

    Jaguar had a superb looking XJ from '04 through right before THIS body style and interior. I'm a fan of the J-gate (not a twist-type knob), four distinctive head lamps, and the iconic tail lamps; this machine has virtually NO wood in the cockpit, and looks too much like the Lexus and all of the other futuristicly styled sedans. The Jag stylists "sold out"; the powerplant on the other hand, is enough to satisfy anyone's need for speed.

    i love german luxury cars but there's just so many of them everywhere,the nice thing about this car(and british luxury cars) is that they're so few in comparison, at least i believe so, and it's nice to be different....also, kind of ironic that the german luxury car is right hand drive, but the british luxury one isn't.

  • @G1NZOU
    @G1NZOU 14 років тому +1

    @MUSlC1213 Land Rover is known all over the world, it's just as good as BMW and is probably known about by more people because of the Defenders and Wolves used by the UN, the British and most commonwealth armies and various international aid groups.
    The Jaguar brand is even more prestigious than BMW and is generally more respected, more BMWs are sold but the luxury of a Jag is greater.

  • @s54bmw
    @s54bmw 14 років тому

    @S0RREN Just remember that Jaguar is known for that. Remember the XK120? they said the same thing. Remember the XJS? they said the same thing. Remember the XJ300? Same thing. Now, it's the XF, XK and XJ. It's time Jaguar made a bold statement

    and actually, the xj is build in the uk
    when cars are make in cheaper counties, thats good for the brand, but not for the country of origin.

    • @VibeCheckerzz
      @VibeCheckerzz 6 років тому

      umm, ok, but if u look at jaguar XE XF and XJ, don't u see same exterior style between all three? XE front and back similar with XF while XJ has similar fronts with both XE and XF. Also, interiors similarity as well. So you cant really say jaguar doesn't do what bmw or audi or merc is doing

    @Twsit133 Actualy i found a Ferrari that is cheaper than the Merc, the California in basic spec costs about 146k, the Merc Cl 65 costs161595 GBP, and the S65 is the best part of a 163580 GBP but they both produce 630 BHP, meanwhile the california just has about a 453 BHP but i think if people who wouldnt know the specs look at both of them they will still think that the Fezza is more expensive and powerfull ;)

    poor me having to settle with a merc, why oh why couldn't there be a proper dealer in Malaysia capable of servicing and up keeping a revived British marque.... even though it is owned by an Indian, its still purely British from the designer, one of the best in the world the man who brought us the db7. to the chief engineers, its British. and you cant deny the way it drives too, the merc on my hand is a bit too serious a car, this is fun, and pleasant, and that's really all I look for in a car

  • @danielgj
    @danielgj 15 років тому

    its not really British anymore but good going anyway. Jaguar needed to leave the retro look behind in order to create a world appealing car that will sell well in market like China as well as Europe and US. I think the new XJ will do that, and manage to compete with Merc, Audi in looks, ergonomics and quality.

    It's just a matter of opinion, isn't it? It's not worth arguing about it, in my opinion this jag looks way better than the S class, in yours obviously not, but we can easily go on and get on, me liking the jag and you liking the merc and when we save up the money, we can happily go buy the one we like respectively =)

  • @tupaei01
    @tupaei01 13 років тому

    In my opinion this current XJ isn't an XJ. I don't mean it's not a very very good car but the design in a way lets it down. Although it's good looking but it doesn't look like an XJ. I think it's just a big and more refined XF. Jaguar XJ had kept it's own distinctive lines since the 60's and over the decades they had become one of the most recognizable in the motoring world. I just don't understand why Jaguar decided to end the glorious tradition.

    • @waltertaljaard1488
      @waltertaljaard1488 6 років тому

      Because the S type didn't sell.

    • @VibeCheckerzz
      @VibeCheckerzz 6 років тому

      Because they need to be competitive with the world. For example, I am not a jaguar fan or ever was, but I admit that XJ is way in my style preference than older jaguar types so that's why I want to decide and buy one used

    The S type R was crap beaten by both the E55 AMG,S55 AMG and also BMW's M5 and Audi's S models.
    Don't even mention the recent XJR.

    The Jag is beautiful, but jags have always been good looking, and they have ALWAYS had electrical problems and long term quality issues. At the end of 10 thousand miles, the big Benz will still be going strong and solid as a rock, but the Jag will have to go in for some annoying electrical glitch.

    Think about what Land Rover is about, do Mercedes or BMW match them in that field, no, they make great road cars but anyone who buys an X5 or a GL-class is an idiot, it doesn't make the car companies bad, just bad in that area of motoring.

    @KimKing00 There is nothing about that motor that is Indian, other than the parent company of Jag. It's designed by a Brit, built by Brits, marketed by Brits, photographed by Brits, while the Indians sit on the sidelines and get the kudos for doing SWA. The Indians simply couldn't build a car like that, and never have. You either copy other people's designs (think: Royal Enfield, Bajaj, Mahindra) or just make utter crap yourselves (Tata Nano).

    I suspect it might do though, as it already seems to be attracting a new type of buyer and is in big demand.
