2010 Jaguar XFR

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

Hard to believe, but on average Jaguar only sold about 65,000 vehicles per year.  This makes Jaguar a small company, but one dedicated to creating a unique vehicle, elite, with keys being hold by only an elite few.  However, some industry experts believe that Jaguar got away from it's roots in recent years, perhaps a reason why Ford sold them off last year.  Now, the company you used to love is now being run by an Indian company known as Tata. (not see you later. -ed)

There are some automobile journalists that have recently driven the all new 2010 Jaguar XFR and believe despite it's new ownership, this is Jaguar's return to it's roots.  The 2010 XFR is the answer to start selling more than 65,000 vehicles per year.

Without question the 2010 Jaguar XFR is a sexy beast.  It's an orgy of over 500 horsepower, 460 ft lbs of torque, mounted to a 6-speed automatic transmission.  Basically owners will be the fastest to their 8 o'clock Tee Time or basically fastest to wherever.  Enjoy the fine lines of the 2010 Jaguar XFR below and be sure to chime in on what your first impressions are.

Jaguar XF Earns ‘Best Executive Car’ Award

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

Upper class rejoice, over paid CEO's start clapping, and the rest of us, well just look stunned that there was such an award.  What Car? is Britains biggest car buying guide and as such hosted their latest Awards ceremony last night in London.  The Jaguar XF ran away with the award for the second year running.

WhatCar? editor, Steve Fowler, commented: "Jaguar's XF is a deserving winner once again – and it's about to get even better with new, greener engines. The XF is all about style, poise and pace – driving one is always a special occasion and the interior is one of the most dramatic of any car at any price."

Dramatic is right, considering in the US the Jaguar XF holds a price tag of around $60k, loaded with toys.  Most reviewers never tire of the latest 09 XF gadgets like rotating vents and rising gear selectors.  For a common man like myself, these options just feel like something else that could break.  However, I am not the target audience, it's the executives and they have to impress their friends some how.

The 2010 XF will be available for ordering now, but dont' expect to get your money smelling hands on them till around March.

Jaguar XKR-S Sneaky Speed

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

Jaguar rolled out their latest speed demon at the Paris Auto Show, somehow without alerting the neighbors...or the media for that matter.  The Jaguar XKR-S is the fastest Jaguar on the road, except for the Jaguar super car XJ220.  Which means the XKR-S is capable of 174mph and a 0-60 time of 5.2 flat.

There will be an extremely limited number of the Jaguar XKR-S manufactured, at only 200 this is an elite only car.  Also, if you aren't in the US don't even worry about finding one, this is a European market only production. Pfft, stupid Paris.

Check out the pics below of the new Jaguar XKR-S.

The newly redesigned 2009 Jaguar XK has recently been spotted in this spy pic in England.  There are some different styling cues to be aware of, which include changes with the XK8 and XKR.  Sorry engine buffs, only cosmetic changes to this latest redesign from Jaguar.

Don't fret, these changes would make even Austin Power's pants tight.
