    Just found out S-type R is only 60k!

    Quite a bit less than it's 'competition', even though it doesn't really compete in line with the RS6, E55, and M5, it's certainly close, and $20k less...too bad it's a Ford.

    I've driven it and I can only say how dissapointed I was with it. It doesn't feel quick (maybe a jag thing).. and the supercharger whines away.. it drives you crazy after a while. And could you live with the looks??? :Ill:

    I also think that the price is a false economy because it will depreciate more quickly than the other cars in your list.

    It is slower than my A6 2.7TQ MTM automatic...need I say more?
    It's more in competition with the S6 really.

    Please let me quote Car Dec. 2002.

    but it never feels made for it"

    "Doesn't feel 400 bhp fast. Wooden and imprecise. (on the track)"
