I think it looks nice, mostly, but they shouldn’t have put the bulge in the headlights. otherwise some bits look heaps like different cars(Aston martin) and i still love it

The only thing that stops me buying any Jag (other than an X type) is the poor (comparatively speaking) state of my bank account. In better times (BJWH) I drove an XJ6 for 8 yrs. Bloody beautiful car. I’d love an X350 or an XF. I honestly cannot understood why the people that can afford these cars all seem to buy BMW, Mercs etc. Don’t tell me they’re better buit, more reliable etc. for the data doesn’t back that claim up, Merc & BM’s are well down the customer satisfaction table, along with Volkswagen (the brothel company!). The only German auto company near the top is Audi & they are several rungs below Jag. Auf Wiedersehen u. gutes Glück

Hi AndrewM. Its only a proposal based on Co2 outputs and hits the likes of Porche, Ferrari, Range Rovers but given our money grabbing tax raping government it will happen just after the next election if they get in.

I don’t believe its about the environment particularly but the 4 x 4/SUV brigade in London village are under pressure

“Look around the door window lines and the back gaurd line leading on to the bonnet”. sorry i meant to say the back gaurd to around the back of the boot. Look at the CGI pic of the drawings of the GT.

I wouldnt be suprised if the new falcon had a bit of this look to it. Look around the door window lines and the back gaurd line leading on to the bonnet. They look very similar to me. But to the jag, I love the look of it, and the performance n the wide range of engines. I would love to own one of these cars. Closes ill get is tonight when im fast asleep.

No Name,
so is the $4700 fuel guzzler already operation or is it still a proposal?
where are the boundaries drawn?
a certain engine size or fuel consumption figures?

whats the point of the tax? to lower emissions or reduce straiin on oil supply? or part of the congestion BS tax

in all its just a poor excuse for the government to make some dollars by curbing us to do what they want

Spitfire – Sadly I didn’t vote, new labour = conservative.

Just as a point about diesels. Don’t think the diesel you drove 10 years ago are anything like those of today. I know countless people who after driven a say diesel after a petrol are converts. My neighbour was well hacked off after taking his Audi A4 2.0 petrol for a service and the garage lent him an A4 diesel. Now he drives a diesel.

The front end looks like a Subaru Liberty Blitzen, but with the headlights flipped upside down.

Hi Andrew. Not many use LPG here, you’d struggle to find a filling station when you need it. Yep I suppose you could call and LPG big engine a gas guzzler as it still big. But LPG is pretty much a by-product of oil extraction so why not put it to use.

By: Andrew M

Andrew M — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 12:11:23 +0000

No Name,
are LPG vehicles also penalised under the “gas guzzler tax”

whats it worth over there at the moment too. i cant remember what it was when i was over there

They had a review of this car on the latest Top Gear, the interior is gorgeous, as is the back. Front isn’t too bad either.

Compared to it’s predecessors though, wow.

AndrewM. I’m not saying you should all drives Diesel. If you lived here in StalagEngland Run by Herr Brown with fuel approaching $2.60 and Rego approaching £4500 dollars for Gaz Guzzlers you would want to get into a diesel.

I’ll leave all other arguments for the Forum.

Oh by the way if money were no object i’d have the 4.2 XK as they don’t do that in a diesel. snigger snigger
