their interiors are crazy. I love the luxury in the XF's interior, even though I'm not a fan of the car.

I'm sure you would get used to it but was odd to use for simple things like turning on the ac. Also the XFR has these ridiculous roll around vents. The new XJ interior is the nicest you can get right now without going to a bentley for 3 times the money. The wood vener that follows around the doors and dash looks really cool and gives the interior a warm friendly feel. It's like they are saying "Enjoy looking at the car just as much as the scenery outside." Jaguar really has stepped up their game the last 2 years. Once they add in the new E-type they will be killing everyone. They are offering cars that all the other manufactures are charging twice as much for. I really want to buy a Jag right now but have chosen family and financial responsibility instead. Just gonna have to wait 2 years. Now should I get a new jag or a classic? So many that it's gonna be a tough decision.
It would be great if Jag returns to offering a V12 for the XJ and the coupe. When I was growing up I remember a family friend who had an XJ12. That car sucked gas but was great to ride in.

Why do you want a V12?

It won't make any more power then the V8. It will use more gas. It will push the car over into the gas guzzler tax bracket. You would be paying 10 grand more for a V12 badge on the back of your car. I say just slap the badge on the back and never lift the hood.

Jaguar arguably has the best V8 you can get in a production car right now.

Driven a twelve, ever? It has better balance than a V8 and more firing pulses per rev. Near redline upshifting an oversquare -12 is an incredible and joyous experience I have not had with an 8. Not everything is power. ~ H

Curious what 12 you've driven. Not in a dick-ish way, but sincerly curious.

Absolutely! I knew Huntsman could explain it in a way that I couldn't. The driving experience is sensational. Yes, it's an indulgence, but, at least for me, well worth it.

My 2008 Bullitt is probably the best Mustang design to date. No badges, no frippery, just a clean body with dark wheels. The open grill makes it look like it wants to eat something.

Have to agree. The 300 is ok, the Charger is stupid (4 doors? wtf) and the Camero doesn't exist. The Camaro, however, was a nice design... several years ago.

I'm not a fan of retro cars like the new Camaro.
