I just can't seem to put myself back into a me-too mobile. Trim bits might be falling off, but my S still puts a smile on my face.

That said, if it was my choice. I'd go for the XJR.

Jeff,

As I recall, you were looking at a blue XJR and until you found out it was in a wreck you were close to pulling the trigger on it.

One thing I noticed is that the center stack is very close to the same for the X-Type, S-Type and the XJs along with a lot of the other switches. It makes switching back and forth if you have multiple Jags easier to drive. Also it makes the parts situation a bit easier to manage.
