Just would like to say this, the jaguar x type when working is a amazing car. Ive been testing out alot of cars latly and so far i only like the x type or the g8 gt. Our cars have very good handling and grip, sure they lack in power but driving the g8 in winter....is a nightmare even with the v6 variant.

Please jaguar bring a awd car back but build it with less problems.

Feel free to chime in everyone

 

I read a news article that Tata Motors (current onwer of Jaguar) will be introducing a new entry level model in the near future. Let's hope they do it right.

Yup, that was on Car magazine and I believe new gen X will be even more beautiful than the 1st one

 

What about test driving a newer X-Type that has the 3.0 liter......and maybe one with a manual? Seems like a lot of the early reliability problems of the early cars were worked out. Speaking only for myself, my car has been extremely reliable in the 40K+ miles I have put on it so far. If you find a 3.0 liter with a manual I'm sure your perception of lacking some power might change. Certainly not a muscle car, but it can certainly get out of it's own way. Think about it.............

 

Links people?



Alfa that would be a wicked sweet things to happen but unforunuatly my father has a hand in this and he is bent on getting a american vehicle. He want me to get a suburban. I said no ay in helll would i drive that. The othe one was a fwd chevy impala...the things handles like a boat and we have one already.

Hows the reliability on the newer jags built by tata anyways

 

Only cars I know of anymore that are "assembled in America" are the Hyundai Sonota, Nissan Altima, Toy Camary and Honda Accord. Ford cars are Products of Mexico, GM isn't too far behind, Chrysler stopped making cars, they only make retro crap.

 

how soon are you getting a new car? Cadillac is making the ATS which is going to be about the the size of the x type and it will have a awd option.(also a rwd V trim...badass!!!)
Buick laCross is nice too and also has awd, infact a lot of higher end gms are awd optioned.
i would stay away from the impala, ive driven the new malibu and it is much nicer, tighter steering and more full interior, just keep in mind the base model malibu and the loaded one have different interior qualities, and it shows...plastics seem to be completly different materials.(my dad has had a 2010 base model and just got a 2011 loaded with leather...they are demos)

 

Has anyone seen the pics of what the 2014 X Type might be? ...

 

Drive over the border and get a late model X. Wouldn't that technically be an "American vehicle" then?

 

Interesting articles:

Unfortunantly, it looks like the new X-Type will be RWD and 4 cylinder. The emphasis seems to be on fuel economy :-(

Test drive some Mercedes or BMW's.

 

While BMWs and Mercedes are great cars, there is something special about a Jaguar, not shared by these other cars. I don't know how else to say it except to say that the Jag just has Class.

The jag is different, it has class and says Im am sophisticated and will not buying a something cuase everybody has it....its individuality. Plus who dosent like to see the jag eating snow for transfer case cooling

Ill post some pictures of the jag in some real deep snow soon haha

But i hope the next xtype comes in 2 door version and a really power awd version
