Mercedes is gonna build a luxury pickup, the X-class. Maybe after the F-Pace, Jaguar should turn its attention to making a pickup truck too. Let's see, now what would they call it? I know! The X-Space!

The additional body height makes it resemble a British Leland black-car taxi.

Would you like a car to put around your subwoofers? Those things in the trunk are huge, lol!

From the look of those subs, most of the mass is just cosmetic anyway.
X308's are a different kettle of fish when it comes to getting bass into the cabin too, it's almost completely sealed off from the boot.
Plus, the larger the sub, the less hard it has to work to sound good... In a similar way to how our cars don't need 4L V8's, but it certainly makes life more enjoyable that they do

Though the ones in the pic look like el cheapos which will have a bunch of cosmetic stuff on the back, the subs themselves look like 10's or 12's.

Here's a 15" Fi sub I installed for a friend a while back, sitting on my old 12 enclosure. And that's on the smaller side of performance subs..


It's pretty unnecessary and over-the-top most of the time, but it's a hell of a lot of fun to have even a decent sub setup. Feeling kickdrums in your chest without having to turn the midrange and high freqs to painful levels..

Damn I'm old, ....I remember a modification on a stereo being a different head unit and just a pair of 6x9's and an equalizer ....

I think that green S Type is a toy or model, mainly because the back doors are moulded in the body and the tarmac chips are gigantic!!

But I agree the pick up truck looks like a Black Taxi, but to me the more modern TX series.

Here's a pic for demonstration.



However on the taxi front.....

To put it bluntly....quite often the unusual nut behind the wheel ;o]P

I couldn't agree more. All the GM fan boys getting excited by it claiming it's cheaper to do an engine transplant then just look after the existing power plant. My Escalade with with the much vaunted L92 engine has been one of the more troublesome vehicles I've owned.

How's an XJR100 end up as a taxi anyway?
