Well we just got back from the dealership with a new Jaguar AWD X-type. I wasn't too fond of having a ford in the driveway and did everything I could to persuade her to buy a Mercedes, but the Jag was the "prettiest" so she wanted it.
Pics coming in a hour or so :) It's really a nice car to look at, the AWD drives pretty smooth and it handles like it's on rails. "I" wouldn't buy a ford, I mean Jag, but she likes it and it is a nice looking car so.........
Pics coming :)

hahaha, had to laugh in this thread also :D :thumbup:
Seriously though, I think she will like it. The 3.0 is pretty quick, the interior is pretty nicely equipt.
Did she get Xenons and Nav? (VDP)

The X-Type is o.k. I would have gone for the S-Type... :D
And although it is a Ford, it definately has more presence than one. Who cares what's under the skin? If it looks good, I'll ride it.
I don't date models for "what's under the skin." I date them 'cause they look damn pretty!! :rolleyes:

Lighting is horrible tonight so here's a couple sucky pics. IronCobra, it's a 3.0 X-type fully loaded.

Yeah, it looks good. It's not drop dead gorgeous, but it definately has looks...
it drives like it's on freaking rails. I can outpower her up the mountain pretty easily in my CLK430, but she catches me in the corners.

Nice looking Jag. I had one as a rental for about 3 weeks while the GS was being worked on, lets just say I missed the GS ALOT

Trust me bro, that car will get compliments! It's quite strange actually...
Also, there are tons of little tricks and secrets to learn about it. I'll be more than happy to assist anytime you might need some help!
Here is the BIGGEST piece of advice: DO NOT get wheels larger than 18" if you plan on lowering the car. Also, even if you don't plan on lowering the car DO NOT get wheels with an offset less than 42+ or you will rub the heck out of your back inner fender liner, not the fender, but the plastic liner (actually this only happens when you have ANYONE sit in the back and are taking ANY type of corner). It's really annoying.
