It looks good, but the old stuff is better. I have a similar view about most modern things. I recently got a cheap-ass student version of Microsoft Office 2007 purely so I could view docx documents. That is the only good thing about it. Office 2003 is so much better. Just like Windows XP is better than Vista. Or how Windows 98 is better than XP. Hell, I really liked MS-DOS.

The point is, some things just aren't meant to change. You dick around with something great, chances are, you'll fuck up. This looks pretty good, but it's not an XJ. It's something else. It's nothing special. It's just another luxury car. You'd only buy it because your existing XJ doesn't work properly anymore.

true, you must have had a jaguar before in your time, it is always the gripe I hear from Jag owners, that they can't seem to keep the older much sexier jags running
