i honestly love the jag, but its just not me. sometimes i favor it but 90% percent of the time i dont. It feels much smaller inside to me despite being a longer car. The jag however is more plush inside, and the contrast piping on the VDP and Super V8 seats is to die for. I love the interiors but the S will always be a favorite.

I had the pleasure of driving two more XJ8's from Hertz this week. The rear window shade broke on the first one and got stuck half down. The radio wouldn't reconize tune FM stations on the second one. I ended up driving a Towncar again. Though, they are amazingly beautiful turds.

I think it may be the Andorite Grey...I have one ordered (S550) in that color and have yet to see one on the metal and identified as such. I will be getting some pictures today from a dealer who has one in stock. I will post later if I get them.

Love it! The only thing I hate is the S600's rims. Looks too plain now (the Chevy Cobalt uses something similar as well).
