Jaguar XJ

Earlier I talked about Jaguar releasing the XKR-S on the world and how its finally a 21^st century Jag, and its aimed for a younger crowd. Well seems like there want to stick with the younger target as the new XJ is released. I mean this car looks amazing and has to be sitting in second place for the best looking Jag ever. It looks so clean, so up to date, so 21^st century. This is an incredible looking car so does it perform like it looks? Well Jag dropped a “New” 5.0 V8 that is pumping out 385 hp so we know the car will be able to move, as the 0-60 time shows in just 5.4 seconds for this big sedan. The max speed is limited to 155mph as many cars due to European regulations but who needs more than 155 when the speed limit is 70 anyway. This certainly is not a car you will be taking to the track for the weekend and beating the breaks off of it. This is another business car to rival the E class and 5 series from BMW. I honestly forgot about Jaguar producing the XJ, that is how far out of the business race they have fallen. And credit to Jaguar they shut me up cause this is just a fabulous car. The interior is spacious and so comfortable you could sit inside for hours as it is such a nice place to be. The car ride extremely well and they managed to find the balance between comfortable suspension and a little bit of performance so the car does not just roll through the corners making you feel car sic. The V8 is not too much of a gas guzzler either as it averages 23mpg but this increases when the XJ spends time on the highway. It feels like jaguar wanted to announce their return to world and paid extra attention to what the consumer wants and they gave the XJ a final song to make sure you want this car. They made sure you can hear that V8 rumble a tamed but power sound which just bellows.  It sounds amazing. Who wants a V8 that is strangled by the exhaust system? Nobody, if I’m paying so much money as the gas pump at least let me hear what we are spending it on. Im really impressed by the new image of Jaguar and shame on me that I forgot they could make such incredible cars.
