I took our Jag up for service, and while waiting I looked around the showroom and saw this car. It is absolutely gorgeous on the inside. The outside is a bit inconspicuous, but the interior more than made up for it.

Glad to see this car good a good write up.

This was the car that could either make or break Jaguar with their new owner (Tata). So far, it's been getting strong praise from nearly everyone who has driven it but I wonder if it's really enough. I just wonder if the general public really "gets it" and will buy one over an MB, BMW, or Audi.

Haha that is the first time I have ever seen a car tested for jumping ability in a review.

I really love this car though, does anyone know the MSRP on this beast? I know the XF V8 is $64k without options so this thing must be expensive.

I went into the Jag dealer a few months ago to get a battery and one of these was on the floor. It was absolutely stunning inside. Maxed out, and it was around the $60k mark loaded.

Only 60K?

My local dealer has one in liquid silver (it's stunning) for $85K.
They say $80K list + $5K over (premium).

Where is this $60K car?
