Anyone thinking of trading their C63 for this JAAAAAAAG??

It's coming this summer (convertible, not sure when coupe is going to be released... but I'm sure it will look exactly like this... as the production convertible doesn't differ from the concept shown before sans the roof)

I always think these types of Jags are Aston Martins from afar and am consequently disappointed each time.

I think it look sick!! But I heard Jaguar reliability is not too good, not sure if it improved since.

More like trade your Chrysler for a Ford.

I actually saw one yesterday, it looks nice and as long as it is under warranty, I would not care about how reliable it is. but in my opinion it is way over priced for what it is, base price is 69k and tops out at 92k and that is without options added. If given the choice, I would take the AMG

Touche. When stated like that, it gets me thinking. However, the head of AG Daimler/Chrysler is an Italian genius who has his finger on the real pulse, the driver's.

The merger was over years ago, and it was MB who improved the Chryslers not the other way around.....

But that Jag does look pretty bad a$$

This.

However, this model kind of looks like an FRS from afar.

I drove and considered a XF-R before i bought my C63...nice car but for the size, power and class it is in i would buy a CLS63 or M5 over the jag..but as mentioned about the xkr-s is a great looking car! Love the lines it has

Yup, some Jags look good, but it ends there. The running joke is that they spend more time in your mechanic's garage than your own.

love it. The new XJs are ridiculously good!

mind you, I was tormented as a child with Jags, so I'm biased.

As someone who has owned a Jag and lived to regret it for 3 years, don't bother. Even though the repairs cost you nothing under warranty it is a pain having to get to and from the dealership so many times. Each time something goes wrong you hear "this is the first time we have ever seen this".
If I told you some of the stories you would fall off your seat laughing.

G'day Davo, sorry to hear of your problems. Get the thing into MB Sydney and rip into them, they should be able to sort it out. Where are you located?

I'm in Redfern (east). I've had it at 3 different dealers. Some recognise the issues, but basically after some time they say they can't fix it. Others replace parts to no avail. Not to mention it's now out of warranty!

Actually, it would be trading your Merc for a Tata.. Ford sold Jag and Land rover off a long time ago, and they are now owned by the Indian company Tata Motors.

That still probably don't change the reliability issues.
