“A 4.0 litre engine, precision-tuned to take you from 0-60 in under 7 seconds, without even raising its voice.”
This vibes with everything I know about the development of the AJ-V8. Apparently, very early on in the design process, corporate was worried that a V8 would be too loud and “un-Jaguar-like.”

Those old jags looked so dated. I still think that 5 series is one of the prettiest cars BMW ever made.

I agree, especially considering they stopped making the e60 in 2010.

“A 4.0 litre engine, precision-tuned to take you from 0-60 in under 7 seconds, without even raising its voice ... two or three times a month, but only on dry days.”
Fixed.

hood ornaments are awesome

BMW is just jealous that the Jag actually has a hood ornament :p

I think the only BMW to ever have a hood ornament was the first car they made, the dixi. Unless you count the rolls Royce as a BMW. I do like a hood ornament though.

Hey, I resent that statement. My Jag works at least two or three times a week!

Jaguar owners used to joke about members of the Home Before Dark club ... could you make it home at night before all the exterior lights had failed ....

Reason #1 why I’ll always be eternally grateful to Ford.

I think they’re dated in exactly the right way. They look like they were designed in 1987 instead of 1997. Sleeperness shaves 2 seconds off of the 0-60 time.

Ford could not do a lot of things in the 90s, but it could sure as shit build a wiring harness.

I still sometimes get an alert to “check rear lights,” but it usually goes away after I restart the car, like practically every other problem. Early 2000 Jags are basically early 2000 PCs.

The 3/20 had one, too.

The E60?

I’d rather have an X308 than an E60 10 out of 10.

Maybe Ford should buy VW?

Pretty sure ze Chermans can build a wiring harness, but can they build a front end that doesn’t have 54 ball joints? Maybe not.

VWs/Audis seem to almost always have a light out.
Mercedes built a harness that was biodegradable... on purpose apparently.
