Replying to: houdini1 (Nov 04, 2007 1:55 pm) The manufacturers announce their sales through a variety of sources. I usually just go to theautochannel.com because they list announcements from all auto makers. Replies to this message: houdini1 (Nov 05, 2007 7:09 pm)

#9534 of 10006 Audi vs. BMW by ericpaulmeyer Nov 08, 2007 (12:51 pm)
I am wondering if the maintenance on a new Audi A5 is as expensive as maintenance on a BMW S3? Replies to this message: lovemyclk (Nov 08, 2007 1:40 pm)

Replying to: ericpaulmeyer (Nov 08, 2007 12:51 pm) Do you mean S5 vs. M3? One thing... ZERO out of pocket for 4 years/50K miles on the BMW.
#9536 of 10006 Pricing for 2009 Jaguar XF by lynnminny Nov 15, 2007 (6:16 pm)
Just in case any of you here are interested in the Jaguar XF   LOS ANGELES — Jaguar North America said late Wednesday that its 2009 XF sedan will start at $49,975, including a $775 destination charge. The newest Jag model arrives in showrooms on March 1.   The new XF will be available in three trim levels, starting with the base Luxury model. The Premium Luxury XF starts at $55,975. The Supercharged XF starts at $62,975, including shipping.   The XF shows off the new face of Jaguar but carries over hardware from the Jaguar S-Type. In comparison, a 2008 S-Type starts at $49,000, including a $665 destination charge.   The U.S. XF models launch with either a 300-horsepower 4.2-liter V8 or a 420-hp supercharged variant of the same engine. The engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted paddles as standard.   What this means to you: Be aware that there's a dramatic gulf between the base XF and the performance model when you head out to the dealership to dicker. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent Replies to this message: circlew (Nov 16, 2007 4:00 am) rayainsw (Nov 16, 2007 4:05 am) circlew (Nov 16, 2007 5:06 am)

Replying to: lynnminny (Nov 15, 2007 6:16 pm) The luxo model will be $55K and the SC model will be $62K. I suspect an R version to exceed the $70K mark sometime in the future.   It is a sweet looker!     Regards, OW Replies to this message: rayainsw (Nov 16, 2007 4:05 am) circlew (Nov 16, 2007 5:06 am)

Replying to: circlew (Nov 16, 2007 4:00 am) “The luxo model will be $55K and the SC model will be $62K. I suspect an R version to exceed the $70K mark sometime in the future.”   I think what is most important here, though, is the fact that the s/c 420 HP version is priced a couple grand ** BELOW ** the current s/c 400 HP S-Type “R”.   Pretty aggressive pricing, seems to me . . .   We’ll see if there is any effect on ( dismal ) Jag sales. - Ray Encouraged by this move . . .

Replying to: rayainsw (Nov 16, 2007 4:05 am) I agree. Now we're seeing some interesting activity from Jag in light of the fact there will be new ownership soon.   This xf is a very attractive combination of elegance and sophistication this side of $75K.   Regards, OW
