Greetings fellow Jag enthusiasts.
My affliction with Jaguars started by accident as my initial thoughts were they were a maintenance nightmare. I was looking at getting an audi W8 when I came across my 2005 XJR in pacific blue and fell in love with it . As per my research on the car it has held up quite well. I really like the blown 4.2 engine and 6 speed combo , works very well. So well in fact that I just picked up a nice 2004 XKR for the wife ( blue of course), such beautiful lines on the older XK's. I am really disappointed with the new styling, the new XJ ,XK,XF hardly stand out in traffic .
All for now

cheers, Andrew

Whoops, just read my post and hope no one is offended by my new styling comment - I was just merrily typing while doing other things and had my etiquette turned off. On the flipside - I'm sure there are people that don't like blue cars - no worries I'm not offended.

Welcome! You are not alone with the opinion that the new(er) styling lacks the "Jag" look.

Welcome, Andres, I completely agree!

I recently acquired a 1976 Xj6 Series II. Nearly 40 years old the car is, and yet anyone who sees it *Instantly* knows it's a Jaguar. That can't be said for newer models, wherein one must see a label to know what it is.
