The Amazing Jaguar XJR, 1997 Sedan. VEHICLE CONDITION: THIS CAR IS NEARLY PERFECT CONDITION. The exterior, I have to say, is practically flawless. The paint job is EXCEPTIONALLY MINT. Only the tiniest scuff can be seen on the front bumper, the rest of the finish is superb and practically glows with a fine midnight blue-black shine. I love hand washing it and it has definitely been well taken care of! Pride of ownership throughout. The interior, although it is less than mint condition, it is still totally clean, well taken care of and fully functioning. It has some slight signs of wear on the seats (minimal) and part of the headliner is bowed, but the rest of the interior is still in perfect, nice working condition and it looks absolutely great. Tires have 75% tread still left on them and the rims are in excellent condition. ALL FEATURES FUNCTION WELL, COLD AC, RESPONSIVE NEWER BRAKES, LOUD ALARM SYSTEM, EXCEPTIONAL STEREO, POWER EVERYTHING, IT ALL WORKS AS IT SHOULD AND IS IN GREAT CONDITION.

I've met dozens of new people just by parking at the grocery stores and having folks stop me to comment on this car, saying things like "What a beautiful car!" and " I've got one of these beauties at home myself" and "Wow! Is that a Rolls Royce?!" (lol) and my favorite from a little boy, "I love your car, will you marry me?" It is definitely a social "ice breaker" whether you like that perk or not, : ) This car is so much fun to drive too, a real pleasure, smooth, like it is gliding over the pavement, responsive, quick acceleration, really powerful get up and go for sure!

If a BMW 540 owner ever had this car, he would be bragging about his V-8. Power is amazing at 322 HP. New Mods (V8's) have higher HP 370 but about the same same torque. Had many other HP luxury cars. This one has power is better than BMW's 540, or Mercedes 430 or Lexus 400 series. Reliability has been better than average for me. Brakes are way better than any any german car. I have 57K on original brakes and they still look good for another 20K. Both my BMW's and Mercedes ate brakes about ever 20-25K. Can't believe it took me this long to buy a Jaguar, I'm never going back to anything else! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Well, you've heard it straight from the "horse's mouth" with those reviews and WOW, what a car!

Jaguar ousts Lexus from atop J.D. Power 2013 Sales Satisfaction Index
Mon, 18 Nov 2013Jaguar has taken the top spot among luxury brands in the 2013 Sales Satisfaction Index, an annual survey conducted by J.D. Power that measures customer satisfaction with the experience of purchasing a new vehicle. The English brand, not even among the top three luxury automakers on the list last year, vaulted ahead of Lexus, which placed third this year after leading the list in 2011 and 2012. Porsche, meanwhile, moved into second place.
The rankings are based on a point score out of 1,000, with Jaguar earning 740 points, Porsche right behind with 739 and Lexus with 737. Volvo, meanwhile, made the biggest improvement among luxury brands with a 30-point jump to 708, bring it up from 11th place to 9th this year.
J.D. Power has a separate ranking for mass-market brands, and this year Mini again tops the list with a score of 718, far outpacing second-place Buick with a score of 694 and making it the fourth time Mini has lead this list. After Buick, the next two ranked brands are both American and both from General Motors, with Chevrolet and GMC sharing third place with a score of 686.
Stunning Jaguar E-Type Lightweight tribute featured by Petrolicious
Tue, 17 Dec 2013This is a Series 1 Jaguar E-Type Coupe. Enzo Ferrari, Il Commendatore himself, called it "the most beautiful car ever made." It can count among its owners Steve McQueen, Brigitte Bardot and a number of other celebrities from the 1960s. It remains one of the prettiest and coolest cars ever.
While we don't normally prescribe to modifying classics like the E-Type, cars that are used for vintage racing, like this particular example, are certainly the exception. It's owned by Jason Len and is the subject of the latest video from the team at Petrolicious.
Len's 1964 E-Type has been fashioned to look like one of the rare Lightweight E-Types from 1963 and 1964. The aluminum-bodied E-Types, of which only a dozen were built, were all intended exclusively for racing, much like Len's heavily modified example. While it retains the 3.8-liter straight-six, its engine, transmission, suspension, brakes and body have been extensively tweaked and fettled to allow this classic Jag to compete with a field of V8s.
Jaguar XE promises to net 'over 75 mpg,' just not for us [w/video]
Tue, 29 Jul 2014With around a month away from its world debut on September 8, Jaguar continues to issue a constant drip of updates about its upcoming XE compact luxury sedan that's aiming to take on the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. Where the company's last bit of info focused on the car's suspension setup, this time Jag's putting the spotlight on the new model's modular platform and making some big promises about it, too. How big? Try over 75 miles per gallon big.
That's the headline figure that Jaguar is claiming for its new sedan, but it's keeping mum on just what powertrain will realize that figure. Furthermore, that result is on the European test cycle, which is more lenient than America's EPA testing regime. In any case, when the XE hits the road, Jag says it will be the most efficient vehicle from the company, ever.
That's thanks in no small part to the aluminum-intensive monocoque chassis underpinning the sedan. It's constructed from a new grade of the lightweight metal called RC 5754 that uses a high portion of recycled material. "The Jaguar XE body uses over 75-percent aluminum content, which far exceeds any other car in its class. This gives us a body structure with unrivaled low weight: it's light but also immensely strong with extremely high levels of torsional stiffness," said Dr. Mark White, Jaguar Chief Technical Specialist; Body Complete.
