I think Ford has done a good job with Jaguar. I think the X type is an appealing value, both mechanically and aesthetically, especially in its class. You can't expect a $60k Jag in a $30 outfit, so I disregard all of the "it is not a Jaguar" comments because frankly, it isn't SUPPOSED to be. Rather it is supposed to be a near-luxury vehicle.
The S-Type is an appealing package as well. I do think the base is a bit expensive, but when there is no vehicle between the X and S type, Jag really has no choice but to offer the underpowered 3.0.
The new XJ is beautiful. Let's face it folks, the "classic" Jag line was becoming as boring and old as the "classic" Saab line. Good things don't last forever, rather the good must become better, and the XJ is all about that.
Kudos to Ford! Now why sales, especially on the X Type, has been sluggish, is difficult to understand.
