My mom bought a Type R!

[Natey]

S-Type R, that is.

400HP/408lb of torque.

What's up with the extra caliper? ABS sensor? They're on all four wheels. (uhm)

 

[BlueMP5Dave]

It's a Ford built car but me likey still

 

[Newf]

I'm jealous

 

[BlueMP5Dave]

You weren't kidding when you said you live right on the beach Nate damn I can see it in the wide angle shot.

 

[BlueMP5Dave]

Did you get to drive it?

 

[Pirana]

So dissappointed on Jaguar, a supped Taurus.

 

[Natey]

Did you get to drive it?

Not yet. She's still pretty excited about having a NEW car(her last car lasted 15 years), so she won't let anyone touch it, much less drive it.

... Gimme a week or so and I'll have those keys!(laugh)

Jaguar have always have a mistique of hand made automobiles, ala Rolls Royce, etc. Now with Ford purchasing Jag, this car is for the masses. A little leather here, a little wood there, a bigger engine, dont get me wrong, is a beautiful car. Not really a Jag. Thats all

 

[alexlitov]

Yeah, the car is tight, but FORD made it look cheaper. Instead of real wood, they use cheap plastic, same with leather and other parts. Isn't it 6 speed auto?

 

[Darin]

Good lord there's a rash of uneducated people...Ford hurting Jag? That's assinine...Souped up Taurus?


Can these kids be serious??? wow...

Natey -

That car is awesome - it's a world-class luxury sedan, with sports car performance. Handling, power, Comfort is beyond what 99.6% of members of this forum will EVER approach...Congrats to your mom!

Some how I think its quality is leaps and bounds higher then Quality you are used to with your Protege.

Lest you Forget your High Quality plastic interior is made by that same Companies Money(Ford).

Very Pimp car, I would Rock it everyday of the Week!!!
Tell your Mom Congrats on her New car.

Mike

[gothmobile]

I'm a fan of Jaguar because no German car could ever be as luxurious and elegant. I love the 95' to 2002 XJ body style...sleek...lean and elegant...especially the XJR.

Yeah I hate ford...but without ford Jaguar would be no more and the amount of uptight, rigid, cold German machinery would increase...blah

 

[zumi]

nice! what's the first mod?

 

[jrodhotrod]

I'd Hit it. Awesome car, Natey. If only I could afford something like that someday..... You gotta get those keys from her. take it for a spin
