Pretty powerful even today. The new BMW 330i is only about 15 to 20kW more.

I grew up with Jaguars around me all my life (there is a link a few posts back). BMW's tend to be owned (OK, this is a total generalisation) by total and utter ****ers who have no respect for other road users at all. I wouldn't be caught dead in one!!

Don't worry...BMW's are the only cars that I am totally irrational about and it has EVERYTHING to do with their owners!!

Ag, maybe it was a class-leader in it's time but it's 2009 now and there are smaller-engined cars who puts out more.

True yes, if you want to get technical.

This is hardly technical
On another note, I love how turbo diesels perform there days! Thinking of a C270 CDI or C320 CDI

Don't get me started on turbo diesels; I love them; hell, would even like to own one someday. They're really in a class of their own.

Mind you, I wonder if Ford/Mazda would let me trade my Mazda3 for a Ford Focus TDCi?

Though, I must comment, I've known some pretty arrogant, stand-offish Jag drivers....
What do you guys think of this deal on autotrader:
http://search.autotrader.co.za/www/...pr=&max_pr=150000&x=49&y=3&id=200941186185265
Seems like a lot of car for R139k to me.

Seems expensive to me for an XJS, even if it is the 6 litre. Fantastically quiet cars, drive like a dream, but maintenance costs can be ludicrous for some things. For example, changing the spark plugs is a 3 1/2 hour job for an experience mechanic; you have to remove the fuel injection system to get in there.
WOW, Guys just look at this work of genius!!!!! http://www.cardata.com/images/2008_new_cars/Jaguar/2008_Jaguar_S-Type_R_front.jpg

Yes, those would be the crowd who finally saw the light and traded their BMW's in for Jags...
