Glad I'm not cleaning the dust out of the lettering on those Jag wheels. :noshake:

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but the numeric ratings have the XFR and M5 tied, with the RS6 1/2 point (out of 10) behind. The author said he'd take the XFR if given the choice.

I dont tend to care what auto journalists write. I read the pros and cons...look at the data and form my opinon from my needs and wants from the platform. Plus, which car has the appeal factor. That is just plain subjective.

:addict:

Is my winner.

I dont care what :harass: Guido has to say.

Apparently the vents are there to allow bird shit to splatter across the entire engine bay. It's the little details like this that sell me.

Dude, you are hysterical!!!
I was thinking the same thing when I saw the engine bay! What, he didn't have a rag to wipe it off? WTF was the photographer thinking, not to mention Jaguar? Who takes a picture of anything, especially a nice car, with a big birdshit splatter on it???

Before I read the article I was going to write: "It's an english magazine so the Jaguar will win", remembering how it usually looks in EVO and other english press.

I sat in the new Jaguar last week. IMO a pretty good looking car. HOWEVER, the interior is at least 2 levels below Audis.

I haven't driven the Jaguar, but to point it out as the winner is simply and purely nothing but nationalistic.
