My next jaguar The XE
#2
It's expected in the US in 2017 with 4 models and 2 engine options. Base, Premium, Prestige, or R-Sport and a 180-hp 2-liter 4 cylinder turbo diesel or a 340-hp 3 liter supercharged V-6. I'm curious what the price point will be since it's being touted as the rival to the Merc C-Class, Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series.

Dennis, at the moment, I am looking at 2011/2012 XJ's. I would prefer an XJL supercharged in ultimate metallic black. But, now I am looking for that needle in a haystack. Granted, I did find an interesting car for sale. It was a 2015 XF for $42K. 400 miles on the ODO. Granted, it kinda had 3 strikes against it for what I am wanting (cherry red exterior, AWD drivetrain, and the I4 turbo motor). I guess I am after that big boat of a vehicle with a matching motor.

Dennis, while I am not against AWD, I am wanting to get back to a vehicle that I have to use a little bit of driver knowledge and experience to get the most out of it. Besides, to stay in the jaguar lineup, you get AWD and you loose some of the 0 to 60 in "OH HELL YEAH". I guess it is that aspect that I am wanting the most. By no means that if an AWD car came along that ticked off 99% of my checkmarks that I would pass it up. But, for the moment, I haven't seen the car that I would want that came in AWD. Granted, if the birdie on my shoulder from London is correct, I might be getting my dream (can you say a 458 hp AWD supercharged XJ?). But, until that day.

thats what i like about the x-type for me it has been trouble free,i still have the stock transfer case stock engine the only issues i had was a caliper,but that was a easy fix, ill still get the xe or xf but my x-type is for life.
my awd system on my 2002 is bullet proof i put redline in the tranfer case from day one and it acts like a snow plow
