I know it's supposed to be a little more downmarket, but I think they overshot a little on the name.

There's also the Scion XB, XD,...

Jaguar XF, XJ, XK...

At least they grabbed it before Toyota did!

I mean XE works within Jag's alphanumeric system, that's where they were coming from.

The problem with XE, though, is that it sounds like the mid-level option on a mediocre economy car haha.

All new Jaguar XE, coming soon to a Hertz lot near you!

There was also a Chrysler Laser XE, but that was much more Jaguar-like, what with its genuine Mark Cross leather upholstery.
