The new Jag - are we talking about the S-Type? What a horrible car! It's a
Ford, with leather interior. (Actually, the interior looks really nice - but
the shape of the car - yuck! It's just not a Jag!)
The XK8 and XKR, though - now they're very nice cars. In fact, if I could
afford one, I might even trade my Spit for it. Actually, I wouldn't - I'd keep
the Spit as well as the Jag. The Spit because it is by far the nicest looking
car I've ever seen, but the 4-litre (I think) super-charged engine of the XKR
would be nice to have too if it was affordable.
And of course we can't talk about Jags without the obligatory mention of the
E-Type. If only they hadn't created the S-Type, they would be one of the
all-time best marques, IMHO. Let's hope that they (or Ford) realise the error
of their ways and in future keep the Jaguar marque as special as it always has
been.

Fred,
Not fair to reference the new jag, and then not attach a picture or a
URL for us that don't know what it looks like.
