No prob man!

Used Jags are incredible bang for the bucks, although the reliability is sketchy, but hey, if it's a second car to drive every now and then, maybe it won't be such a prob! The Vanden Plas' have such classically gorgeous and plush interiors.

W211, W212
CLS feels noticeably smaller inside as compared to the E. The ambient is sportier with more leather. E is a better family car, CLS is more fun. I considered both the CLS and the E, and I actually preferred the CLS slightly, since it did feel more dynamic. I went with the E as it has more pratical back seats for family and felt roomier inside. E is a more pratical car in my opinion.

In this photo shared by K-A, I prefer the more understated styling of the E-63.

It looks like Diamond White. That's the color I wanted but when Mercedes went all black interiors, I switched to Iridium Silver.

I saw new CLS in person and was thrilled by front end , it was very attractive may be it was because it was 1st ever time I saw it in closely

Anyway, W212 is the finest looking car througly and I like it's every angle .If I have a chance side by sice pics for you to judge I will shot them here as well lol

The CLS with AMG package is my next car. I will order a 2014 model next Spring and expect delivery July or Aug 2013. That car should have the 435hp motor.

A car is nothing without reliability. I like the new Jaguar interiors a lot better than the E class but there is no way I would consider a Jag until they substantially improve their reliability ratings. A friend of mine a while ago tried to sell me their Jag at a really good price and I don't think I would have even bought it for half the market value. That + there was no AWD.

completely agree Webster...........the reason I'm not in a new XJ is because they're just not appealing anymore......AT ALL......but I do agree the interior is amazing.......simply amazing......
that's one thing Jaguar is good at, and also making the suitcase sample things........unlike my MB dealer, LOL, who doesn't have a shread of sample material or trim to show potential buyers.........

WTF Benz?

I kinda digress and disagree that present Jaguar models are considerably better and more elegant compared to any present MB models .
Interior wise : W212
Exterior wise : W212

Same goes for W204 and W221 as well . I like the way array of arrow shape looks on present MB models .
I also dislike Jaguar's grill design . MB grills are angled and they are gorgeous

I like XF's interior though but I think gear selector is not my cup of tea and unfortunatelly some RR and LR models come with this gadget as well

Reliability trumps all, no matter what car even MB's.
