Jaguars always pull out nice new cars, if it's Luxury or Sporty they all look nice.

If I had a spare, what, 90 Grand? I'd sure buy that.

Tell a few more grannies their cancer is too costly to remove and you'll be in at the dealership.

I like the cut of your jib, young fella-me-lad, but for this baby I'll probably have to deny IVF to a number of barren couples, and let little Waynetta go blind.

But it's worth it.

You guys cover IVF?!? Jesus-jumped-up-Christ in a hot flash, man, its no wonder the important people leave the country to have operations.

On the up side if little Waynetta (seriously? in our country only negros make sh;t up when naming their kids) really does stay blind some ugly bloke's got a much better chance of getting a hummer.

Having actually looked at the car now, I feel I can ask this question:

When did Jaguar decide that their next big thing needed to be a carbon copy of the ******* offspring of a Maserati and an Aston Martin?

I'll always take an old "60's Jag over a new one. Nothing better than a nice top end run in a XKE 12.

The series III e-type was my teenage dream car, but I'll take the new fangled conveniences over vintage nostalgia anyday.

Didn't you just get a new car Nobby?

Why yes!

More Rate-Ups and comments welcome Smiley: sly

Not about to buy a Jag yet, but doesn't stop me respecting the design.

The Aston Martin/Maserati reference: Valid. (Same chap who designed the Aston BD7 / Vantage) and a known fan of Maserati.

I happen to think it looks rather tasty.

It looks great, but I think that owes a great deal to the fact that the DB7 and the maser sedan look great, too. I didn't realize the guy was the same, but it shouldn't surprise me. It was probably just a Ford internal transfer.

Nothing says "My income exceeds my understanding of driving" like a Boxster.

Seriously? I'm heterosexual. I'd rather have pictures of Pee Wee Herman's cOck in me gob

Now the Murcielago is a thing of beauty, a beast, onanism on wheels and petrol-head heaven.

But if you have a budget of about £60k/$130K, the Jag represents elegance with performance, and handling that would satisfy any serious driver of bendy roads.

I like my women as I like my roads, dark and bendy.

But seriously, when you accelerate hard in a Murcielago, you sink into the seat like it's giving you a big hug. If it had wings, I'm sure you'd be airborne in less than 10 seconds. Also, make sure your windows are rolled all the way up as the pressure differential makes your head feel like it's going to implode. Smiley: lol

The Murcielago is indeed a sweet ride, but as a lanky git I found the driving position cramped.

It tail-slides with a control that adds 30mph to hair-pin bends and adds an unsafe degree of confidence to the driver. Flat-line acceleration? Not the best I've driven, but more than I'd need.

My observations are:

a) The Boxter is a wannabe's car. Crapo handling for the price, shaky performance and accepted as a 20-something junior Realtor's car.

If I could justify the cost of owning a Murcielago, I would.

I can't.

I wish I could Smiley: cry

It also make a fine in-the-city-workday car that you can lend out to employees for errands making them feel important. Smiley: nod

What you drive on your own time should be a bit more intimate.
