Turd Polishing. Change whatever you want, it still doesn't change what it is.

 

Don't know if it's relevant, but they wheel the Queen around in a Bentley. Maybe one day, with all the cuts, they might buy a Chrysler 300 for the job. Things would have to get pretty dire for anything like that to happen...

Just found out the new 2012 SRT8 engine will make over 500hp. Nice.

 

500hp, and still an inability to go 'round corners.

 

Corners?
Where ya gonna find a corner in Florida ....??

Oh, wait!
I was thinkin' curves ....!!!

 

Somehow I don't think your 1997 Xj6L handles much better...

 

I don't drive aggressively, but it does just fine thank you very much. It simply does what it's made for, which isn't aggressive driving. If I was overly worried in handling and speed, I would have bought an R model.

 

because they're tools.

 

Oh what a tangled web (!) we weave when we practice to deceive.
Leedsman.

 

Ha ha , I really wonder what kind of tool they're lol

 

those cars look nice when their fixed up but to go as fat as putting the "B" on em is ridiculous.
In my area the cars the look like that are driven by white females that think their cool in a fake bently... I usually step on the gas so they can admire my jag haha!!

 

I'm just pleased, that type of person, does not drive a Jag

 

Around here we see quite a few Bentleys, (they factory is about 3 miles from our house), yet every time a 300C passes us in the opposite direction, she says "is that a Bentley" !!!

Mind you when I had a Rover 75, people said "that's a nice Jaguar, what model is it ?" Of course the Rover 75 was not exported to the US so most forum members will have never seen one.

 

I watched a program not long ago about the Chrysler design engineer who was mostly responsible for the look of the "C" model 300. He was a young Black fellow and very much the apple of the Chrysler exec’s eyes. The boy was featured in several Black oriented publications and also a piece that aired on that Black TV network BET. I believe that is why the car is so popular with Black folk in the USA.

I rented one while on a trip when they first came out. It had the Hemi V8 but was not the SRT, and it was a very comfortable and quick automobile. Certain flaws aside the car is still a good bang for the buck and a handsome ride if left totally stock.

 

Just my kind of gal, short on skirt and self esteem! Zip code please!!!!

 

Yes it does.


On another though I seen many Hyundai Genesis sedans running around with Bentley logos. Anyone else see this?

 

Well, thank you for defending the honour of the noble Xj. I have noticed the Genesis models, but not with a Bentley Logo. I always think of it more of an Aston's. It's not an exact copy, more so the "wings", and Genesis written in the center. For some reason, it's only on some of the car's, while the others have a slanted "H".

 

Here in the UK it is a lot of car for the money, and even more value used.

 

seen it, Some guy with a blacked out s type in town has bull horns on his hood instead of the leaper.

I also saw a Hyundia amanti ( s type styling) with bently markers all over and a bently grille and lights

 

Yea I looked at the LX models, 300, Charger, Magnum. The 300 is ok in stock SRT8 otherwise that car is attracting the 26in rim type of folks. YUCK.
So for my daily driver (own 97 XK8/96 Impala SS) I chose to drive a Magnum r/t. Nice car, not many on the road, and nothing looks like it.
