#28 of 84 Exactly by nedzel Feb 20, 2004 (5:13 pm)
I had a GTI. Why would I buy a TT? it's the same car, except it costs more, and has less room?
#29 of 84 the problem with the Mondeo by jchan2 Feb 20, 2004 (6:17 pm)
and the X-Type is that you can't buy the cheaper Mondeo here. You have to spring for the fully loaded X-Type.

Strange, C&D website says Europe and Canada get the wagon, not the US. Saying even BMW might dop the 3 series wagon because we have the X3 and X5. Funny, who's buying these overpriced SUV's? The X3's been getting bad reviews on ride quality for $35K.

#32 of 84 Oh, Jaguar was competing with someone? by steven2 Mar 28, 2004 (8:46 pm)
Jaguar cannot really "match-up" against Mercedes, BMW, or Audi. The XJ and XK are premium high-end cars, and the new XJ's are supposedly pretty good ultra luxury sedans. The X-type is being bought by people who want the name Jaguar but not a high price. The S type- where does it fit in? I don't really see how it can compete with a A6 or 5 series.   By the way, Jags arent that great. Has anyone noticed the Xtype is just a Ford Taurus? Jags don't get great reviews, and reliability has been poor since introduction of Jaguar WAY back.

Could you please explain how an X-type is a Ford Taurus? Also, I see a lot more S-types on the road than A6's here that's for sure. As far as "The X-type is being bought by people who want the name Jaguar but not a high price.", could not the exact same be said of the C-class or 3-series?   Really your post would have been more appropriate on the "luxury marques" topic. sysop "High End Luxury Marques" Mar 28, 2004 11:27pm
#34 of 84 Ford Taurus? by nedzel Mar 29, 2004 (5:33 pm)
Umm, no. It's built on the current generation Ford Mondeo platform (sold in Europe, not the in the states). Reliability of Jaguars today has little to do with reliability of Jags prior to the takeover by Ford.
#35 of 84 reliability by steven2 Apr 02, 2004 (8:44 pm)
yes, if you break down charts of the reliability issues, you can find differences since the the takeover by ford, but overall you will have the same frequency of problems.   and in response to seminole key, the bmw 3 series has been acknowledged as a great car, just as worthy of being called a bmw as any of the other models. you have a point with the mb, though.

looks nice, but sadly it'll never make it to the United States.
#37 of 84 reliability by nedzel Apr 03, 2004 (6:39 pm)
"if you break down charts of the reliability issues, you can find differences since the the takeover by ford, but overall you will have the same frequency of problems"   I guess we've been looking at different charts. Jaguar reliability pre-ford was the pits. It's gotten dramatically better since then.
