Pluskin -
No! Don't go back to lurking. We were both just telling what we thought to each other. It would be a loss to have you no longer post. All I am saying is that I still have some proof that the X-R will apear even with the demise of the F-TYPE. You have information to the contrary - it doesn't matter though, as the future will surely tell us what is to come and which one of us is correct. You think you are, I think I am - there is nothing wrong with having different opinions. So that you know, Car & Driver says the X-R is dead, but I disagree. We'll see, but I wasn't trying to get you to stop posting.

Jonty12 - Changes for 2003
I believe everything you have said is true, and that 2003 manual equipped cars do indeed come without the wood door trim. If the buyer would like it, some dealers are installing the trim as an extra requested option. 2003's also have the horizontal bar that runs through the "mouth" of the car blacked-out, as does the S-TYPE, and a swede-like material between the front seats and the center console to prevent any noise that could come about if the seat rubs on the console. Trip computer screen is also now a glowing green background with black lettering, as opposed to the glowing green letters on a black background on 2002's.
When i 1st saw that London calling ad i though there was a English delivery plan if you will, id sure sign up for one .Which brings me to one more question is it possible to order a specific car and if so what would be the shipping time frame ?
thanks
DL
Let's hear your proof.
All I know is that management has told us that there is no business case for it, and that all the engineers have been pulled off from it. If you have better information than that, than I'll be very impressed.
We've spoken to over 37,000 motorists, who've given us the full low-down on 120 models and 33 manufacturers. They've provided us - and you - with uniquely unbiased, spin-free information on every aspect of reliability, running costs, driving experience and treatment received from dealers..."
Top Gear finished its 2002 Motoring Survey, and out of its "Small Executive Cars" category, the Jaguar X-TYPE finished in second place.
"Just past its first anniversary and the X-Type enters the survey three places ahead of the BMW 3-Series. Great dealer service, few problems and good dynamics see to that."
The rankings for this segment were as follows:
1.) Lexus IS 200
2.) Jaguar X-TYPE
3.) BMW 3-Series
4.) Mercedes-Benz C-Class
5.) Audi A4 and A4 Avant (wagon)
6.) Saab 9-3
7.) Volvo S40 and V40 (wagon)
8.) Alfa Romeo 156
Well, I'm happy...
jonty: millennium has called and left several messages even though i told them id call when i could come back in, sheesh. Ill contact your salesperson next week hopefully.
i just got the new october road and track with all the new models listed. It says specifiacally that the 2003 X type has enhanced content at prices BELOW 2002 . Did i miss something? i didnt not know that MSRP went down ?
on a sidebar i got invited the drive the new E500 class at the Texas Motor Speedway on September 22nd, should be a good time.

Isn't GM interested in purchasing Alpha Romeo, and in bringing it over here in 2005 or '06? The current cars look kind of like fun little cars, but I wouldn't want one over my perfect X.
Cheers!

thanks

Boy, Alpha Romeros must be really exotic as I've never heard of them before. :-):-) :-) Don't worry, I've made much worse mistakes before, and I'm not just talking about spelling. Think nothing of it. :-)
Pat & Desertguy-
Thanks for defending my spelling while I was gone. :-)

Automobile Magazine just bought a 2.5 litre X-TYPE in Platinum Silver Metallic. Car guru David E. Davis Jr. likes everything about the car except for the shift linkage of the manual transmission and the editors expressed that the X-TYPE has the "Jaguar feel" just right. They also love the car's ride and said that "rough-road damping is very good". They "like the steering a lot", and Davis "loved" the chassis and said that it "makes this Jag a lovely driver".
POSSIBLE COMPATIBLE CD CHANGER!!!
Also, if you don't feel like paying for the Jaguar Alpine premium sound system with 6-disc CD changer ($1,200), or don't have it or the $200 single disc in-dash unit, Automobile found that Sony's Xplode 10-CD/MP3-disc player was compatible with the X-TYPE's special Fibre-Optic electrical system, and only cost them $280 (I don't know if that included installation costs). They got it to work with the car, so if you want a nice system, this may be it. They don't say how they hooked it up, but you may want to check it out.
Bye!

P.S. - I noticed that my trunk had always had a slight nano-second delay after pushing the release button, but now, after having the car for five to six months, the trunk latch has gotten comfortable and opens and releases precisely when I puch the button. Doors are also very easy to open and close now, and it seems the car just gets better with time. No problems have come up either - not even a single rattle or bad vibe. Still have that great new-Jaguar smell inside. Truly is a wonderful car!
I don't think so.
I could be wrong.
Still, in the present context, food for thought.
:-)
Jagone, I understand your point, but as a member of our Town Hall YOU must understand that your messages are required to be civil and respectful. If you have any questions about our community rules, please review the terms to which you agreed when joining our community by following the "Member Agreement" link on the left sidebar of this page.
The post which you attacked was clear in its intent - aside from the spelling errors - and the attack you launched was way outside of the terms of that Membership Agreement.
If you wish to discuss this further, please email me. This is way off topic and inappropriate here. So let's take this off-line if we need to discuss this further.
To the rest of you, I have never been to an LS Mania event, and frankly the Saturday Night Live references are very old and tired. Somehow I seem to attract those references nearly everywhere I go, and I assure you, I am NOT that Pat.
:-)
If you want to resend it, I'll be happy to address your concerns.
Pat - I wouldn't want any other host here!
It is my role to make sure that those terms are upheld.
It is not appropriate to use this discussion to debate the policies of the Town Hall, the Membership Agreement, topic management issues or my actions.
If you want to address your concerns to our Interim Community Manager, you may email her at sylvia@edmunds.com.
And as I've said many times, I welcome your emails and I am happy to address your concerns in that manner.
This is the final word on this. Further posts continuing about these issues will be removed with no notice.
Thank you for your understanding and your cooperation.
Pat
Sedans Host
I saw an X-Type at the mall a month or so ago, and as far as styling goes, Jaguar hit the nail on the head. The only other ones I've seen have been moving, and I couldn't get a good look at it, but seeing the X-Type in person reminded me why I fell in love with Jaguars to begin with. The headlights look a bit "squashed" but it does not ruin the effect of the front end. And the dark red metallic paint on the one I saw was gorgeous. Now if I could only talk my boss into tripling my salary so I could buy one ;-)
Cheers,
jagboyxtype
P.S. I know you'll blast this post right out of the water. But then again that seems to be the reason you post here. For me I love all cars, Sport cars, Everyday sedans, Luxury sedans, Minivans, Pick-up trucks and SUV's. Guess you could say I'm not narrow minded when it come to motor vehicles. If you know what I mean!!!
CHEER'S
Jagone.
Do I really blast people? I know I'm overprotective of Jaguars, but do I really blow people away when they attack them?
