I can assure you that after driving a Prius for a few years I will be back in this forum with a vengeance boasting about exciting German performance cars that I wish to buy. But right now I just want dependable boredom served with high technology features (the Prius) |

Replying to: circlew (Jan 14, 2009 3:57 pm) Thanks for your suggestion. Mine is definitely a lemon and my service records are proof of that.  I will definitely find out if I can get a direct replacement but I wont bank on it. Somebody told me a car can only be replaced if it is not older than two years. That would be unfortunate since my car is 26 months old. |

If I remember correctly, Jag ended up having to take people to court over the issue. The 220 itself wasn't a bad car, just horribly timed. Despite the engine being just a turbo V6, Top Gear featured one pitted against today's supercars, and it could beat them in a drag race.

Replying to: dewey (Jan 15, 2009 8:18 am) Well... I am going to go the practical route. I really must have my priorities in the right place at this point in time. There is no room for an "extra" car right now. So... I will sell the Porsche, and the F150 as soon as possible. After that is accomplished, I will sell the BMW 135i that I love so much.  That will leave the Jag, the MDX, and the Escape Hybrid... unless my wife convinces me to sell the Jag instead of the BMW, or the MDX instead of the F150. But, no matter what, I'm taking it from six vehicles down to three. After that... ????? TM

Replying to: tagman (Jan 15, 2009 4:12 pm) Wow that has to be tough. The XJ VP is good enough though that I would be more than satisfied with it as my only vehicle. Depending on how good the S7 Cab is, I might even go down to one car.

Replying to: lexusguy (Jan 15, 2009 6:49 pm) Oh, God yes. I am humbled by this entire experience.  The XJ VP is good enough though that I would be more than satisfied with it as my only vehicle. Thank you... I agree. And that is essentially, the plan. My one car will be the XJ. The wife will have her MDX (or maybe I can convince her to trade it in for the new Prius?), and the daughter will have her Escape Hybrid. TM

Replying to: tagman (Jan 15, 2009 10:31 pm) I would think that the RX450h or the upcoming Q5 hybrid might be easier sells. |

Replying to: lexusguy (Jan 15, 2009 9:38 am) Mechanically it wasnt so bad, despite turbo lags of course. However the body was terrible inside out. I saw it once in LA and I wasn't impressed at all by the el cheapo cabin. Worse yet, the body used too many parts from Ford's bin (the use of Ford Escort's tailights was the easiest to spot). If that's the best Jag can do...... I dont know what to say...

In the early part of this milennium Jacques Nasser wanted to introduce a new Jaguar E-Type. Such a retro car would have been perfect. If a retro British economy car like a MINI can be a success then definitely a retro British car like the Jag E-type would be even a bigger success. Many people have fond memories of the Jag E-type. Even someone like me who cannot even remember seeing one during my childhood loves the idea of a E-type.
