It still is a decent looking car though.

Hey, you "pays your money and takes your choice".

Go with whatever floats it for you.

If it weren't for cars like Jags, there would never have been a Corvette! I say let the rest of the car world keep holding the mirror up, so the General keeps building a better beast.

....but really, how can you share the driveway with something that's part British and part Ford??????

We also own a Jag, though not nearly as nice as yours. Nothing wrong with them...

Well that Jag costs a lot of money so I would certainly hope that you like it. The only problem with her is that she is a FORD.

Not at all. Vettes aren't the only cool car in the world.

Being a corvette owner you are required to be biased against everything else! I think that is a rule of being a good owner. That is a nice Jag though I must admit

But by far the COOLEST!!! Had an 87 XJS not too long ago. V12. Me and my father were restoring it from the heads up. Then my brother blew the engine, he was kicked out of the house for about 2 weeks.

There is nothing wrong with that, I love my 550 Maranello justas much as my 90 vert. Both fantastic looking and performing cars.

I'm sorry, but nothing looks as good as a Jag especially from a woman's veiwpoint. My first car (illegal, I was 14) was a 1950 XJ150. It was scary driving as the gas linkage kept falling off, but as an unlicensed 14 y.o. I was in love with that car. For reliabilty though, be it as it may, I'll take the vette. If you think a vette is a money pit, try an old Jag. Now you'll know what it means to really bleed. As much as a hate to say it, Ford definitely made it a better car. Enjoy what you have. Today my heart belongs to chevy. It also belongs to all the Jag owners that put a 350 in it.
