Review

It'a rocket in hiding. If a BMW 540 owner ever had this car, he would be bragging about his V-8. Power is amazing at 322 HP. New Mods (V8's) have higher HP 370 but about the same same torque. Had many other HP luxury cars. Power is better than BMW's 540, or Mercedes 430 or Lexus 400 series. Reliabilty has been better than average for me. Brakes are way better than any any german car. I have 47K on original brakes and they still look good for another 20K. Both my BMW's and Mercedes ate brakes about ever 20-25K. Can't believe these cars don't hold value better.

Favorite Features

322 HP. Supercharger, 18" Wheels, loe Interior finsih quality. Most awesome stereo (Made by Harmon Kardon) available in luxury car. Kicks MB, BMW, Lexus to shame.

Suggested Improvements

CD in Dash not Trunk, I rarely ride back there The auto dimming mirriors will melt in texas heat. Take it to glass shop and get standard no glare glass installed. The Jaguar dealer can't fix this problem. Gas Mileage of 322 Hp car (13-16mpg).
