(I hope it has over 30bhp...)
Well, maybe I'll just settle for the x-type...
LOL
Continuance granted.
Actually I just bought my dad a Craftsman. I just guess I'll have to borrow it back for the event... LOL

If you want to compare S-type to LS8, check out the multi-car comparisons in 5/00 Car & Driver (LS8 Sport & Jag S-type 3.0) and 12/99 Road & Track (LS8 Sport & Jag S-type 4.0). Interestingly, LS outpointed the Jag in both tests. Jag finished 5th to LS's 3rd in R&T test. Jag finished 6th to LS's 5th in C&D test.
However, the rumor mill is suggesting that an S-Type with the XJR/XKR engine may be in the works.
month. I put a $500 deposit down on an X-Type that will likely list
for about $36,000 to $38,000 and my best guess is that the lease
will be over $100 a month more. A whole bunch of us on the Jagtalk
board: http://www.Jagtalk.com have left deposits, but so far no
one has a firm U.S. price; although some members have been given
pricing in England, France, and Finland. We have all vowed to report to the
Jagtalk message board as soon as anyone is given pricing.

He enjoys the S type so much more and the service he gets is WOW! I strongly recommend you to at least wait and test drive the Jag before your final decision. I believe $30 extra per month is really money well spend. In Europe, Jaguar is just so much more prestigious than BMW, not to mention Acura. ( Well, actually there is no Acura in Europe but you get the picture.)

Now if Jag can only bring up their quality control they could have a hit on their hands!
Go to http://www.dadswell.com then select the link for "cars" and then select "X-type info"

ehasse please, if you don't have something useful to contribute don't bother. Jaguar has been owned by Ford for almost 15 years, and in that time it has just gotten better and better. Better quality, better style, better choices. Now I must admit that Ford took some of the fun out of owning a Jag. The darn things start every morning, they don't leak oil all over the driveway, how boring can you get. They even did a good job on the style of the X-Type. I think it looks even more like a Jag than the S-type. As well as giving some hint to the future design direction for Jaguar. No matter what people think about RWD AWD is the future of sport sedans in the US. Especially in the Northeast.
Ford is taking this global platform thing a little seriously, and in turn risking Jaguar's reputation. I just hope that the new XJ is not based upon Lincoln Town Car.~ A.R.
