I picked up my Supercharged Porcelan/Champane Friday at Nellay jaguar in Roswell, Georgia. I live in Houston so I located the car while trying to find this color combination (most supercharged models are black & silver). I paid 61,799. incuding all dealer fees (599 doc fee). I will pay the sales tax when I register the car in Texas 6.25 %. The salesmen said that sales had died in July and they had 5 in stock (supercharged). Houston dealers are able to get almost full retail on the supercharged models. The car performed great all the way home 840 miles and averaged 23 MPG. The only thing I found on the car is a rattle behind the sunroof under the headliner and the local dealer has fixed 2 others with the same rattle. I am 100 % happy with the car thus far and love the performance, styling and build quality. The timing is great if you are looking to purchase, good deals can be had with the current economic conditions (leasing still sucks). Nellay Jaguar was great to work with and I would highly recommend. Talk to Leonard if you are looking in the Atlanta area. |

Let me say that this car really is clearly world class and I honestly can't think of a car I'd rather have. The feeling of driving this car is amazing, I can sense just how much engineering and fine tuning must have happened to make this such a well balanced sport luxury model. I came off a lease of a very competent Acura RL and nearly bought either the E or 5 series, but while those cars were very competent, this car just makes me grin driving it. Sure, the nav and the ergonomics don't match the acura, but the B&W stereo is terrific, the btooth phone implementtation is good, the seat cooling is better than the lexus or acura, the dash/lighting is impressive, and the IPOD+USB+aux inputs give some satisfaction for the gearheads. The fuel mileage on my 26 mile commutes to work have been exactly what my acura gave, around 22-23 mpg so I don't have V8 guilt and the sound of this engine when you step on it is just sweet. The tactile sense of the road, devoid of harshness and noise is just wonderfully dialed in and there is never a lack of power. I never seriously considered a Jaguar before, but if this car performs as it has, I think I might start to buy some of that old mystique!

Replying to: bluesaab (Aug 05, 2008 5:01 pm) 1. Electric pull-down for trunk 2. Power side mirror retractors 3. Cover on top side of trunk (you see metal) 4. Seat settings memory on passenger side 5. Fog lights Fit and finish appears to be fine. Any thoughts on why these are missing and if any of these or other features may be added later? |
