Thanks for sharing.
A short article. Reinforces the classic XJ as the smoothest touring sedan, or at least more than the new XJ.
Power and gadgets are plentiful on the modern versions. Who has time for gadgets when you're driving? Power is great and feels good, but usefulness is actually limited to overtaking and stop light drag racing.

Not really a fair comparison for ride testing a new XJR, a standard XJ may have compared better. Still a interesting and cool write up.
