Ha!
Still would not go out and buy a Jag.
My wife wants a 90s XJS HO; she is a bit nutty. Of course, i would have to be the one working on Lucas electrics bugs every weekend trying to get the smoke back in, or dealing with the inboard brakes.
I am sure the new Jags are much better.
But nowhere near MB quality and driveability.
fwiw -
I just read that the new S and E, along with an Infinity, now are drive without a driver's input, but that turns off after 10 seconds. I am sure somebody has figured out how to disable it. This is cool - finally making it into production cars. Mercedes has been playing with the technology on autobahn for at least 20 years now.
And on another note, a guy I know who has at least one of every AMG Black series there is just took delivery of a Weistec (sp) E63 BS that covers the quarter with a trap speed of 151 mph! That's nuts.
Ok, enough of my Benz update. carry on...............
