1995 Jaguar Xjs A Dream To Drive And Show -- Needs Nothing Done! on 2040-cars
Costa Mesa, California, United States
1995 Jaguar XJS convertible that is beautiful to behold and a dream to drive: power, stability, handling and comfort. All systems and accessories work well, and the brand new tires are designed for a "comfort ride" that yet delivers performance. No corrosion and no leaks at all. Over-hauled A/C is ice cold. Car's temperature gauge remains at normal, even thru our recent heat wave. All power systems work perfectly. Mechanics recommend that these big cats should be driven, not just parked, and indeed this XJS has averaged a moderate 7000 miles a year. (The long-time owners practiced psychotherapy out of their Tibberon home and took the Jag out of the garage for special events and vacation cruises.) The overwhelming consensus of car-guys is that the 1995-6 XJS with the 4.0 L inline six is the one to own -- most reliable, most collectable and moving into a strong phase of appreciation.
I purchased this beauty for my wife's 67th birthday (it's in her name) and we both love it! But eventually she had the courage to tell me that she would really prefer a Jaguar Sedan. So -- good spouse always -- I found and bought her a beautiful Jaguar Sedan, and now therefore I am eager to find a new home for this enchantiing rag-top. All routine services are recent, and yesterday I had the car smogged ("passed with flying colors," said the tech) in order to simplify the transaction. It's hard to know just what to ask for such a "fine motor" (as the Brit's say). But let me know what you think, for I'm a reasonable man. Meanwhile, I enjoy driving and showing this elegant European luxury sports convertible. |

Say goodbye to Jaguar's vestigial oval grille
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Jaguar has been on a campaign to replace any and all retro cues with modern ones. Just look at the current XJ and the one it replaced, or the XF and the S-Type that came before it and you'll know what we mean. The one remnant is the XK and its oval grille, in and of itself a throwback to Jags of old (which started to look more like a certain Star Wars alien in above-pictured XKR-S form). But don't expect it to hang around.
Newer Jaguars have been ditching the oval aperture for a more squared-off one, and the next XK will have to fall in line. But don't expect that to be the only change in store for the next-generation Jaguar coupe and convertible.
With the new F-Type now holding the more enthusiast-oriented ground, the next XK is expected to grow bigger, softer and more luxurious. That will likely mean a more commodious back seat as well, though that shouldn't be hard to do considering the lack of space in the back of the current model...
Jaguar says F-Type sales off to flying start
Fri, 31 May 2013As we noted in our recent first drive, Jaguar's luscious new F-Type roadster is a bit of a tweener in both size and cost, lining up in between rival Porsche's Boxster and 911. That one-for-two-segment strategy is showing early signs of paying off, with Automotive News reporting that half of the car's 2014 production allotment is already sold. We're not talking huge numbers - sports cars in this segment only "have a global annual volume of about 75,000 units and a market share of 0.1 percent," notes Jaguar brand director Adrian Hallmark. Yet the company figures the F-Type will work out to about 15 to 20 percent of its total volume of around 60,000 units.
From where we sit, this is all very encouraging news, but it's way too early to call the F-Type a smash hit. The sports car segment is known for its fickleness and its front-loaded sales curve, so the real measure of success will be how it fares over the next few years after early adopters get their cars. Jaguar will have to work to keep the F-Type fresh with new variants, and we hear it's prepared to do just that. The British luxury marque hasn't confirmed a hardtop coupe variant yet, but patent images and spy shots suggest one is on the way shortly, and it ought to extend the model's appeal greatly. A four-cylinder option and a manual transmission have also been rumored, and presumably Jaguar will eventually launch higher-performance R and R-S variants as it has done with various model lines, including its other sporty two door, the XK grand tourer.
Jaguar confirms XE reveal for September 8
Tue, 15 Jul 2014Jaguar has a whole raft of new products in the pipeline, from the long-awaited replacement for the XF mid-size sedan and a likely XJ-based replacement for the XK coupe and convertible to the production version of its C-X17 crossover concept. But arguably the most important will be the all-new XE, a compact sports sedan pointed squarely at the BMW 3 Series - a market segment which Jaguar last nipped at with the regrettable X-Type, one which it is now committed to tackling head on.
The British automaker has been trickling out a steady stream of details on its upcoming XE, from the initial announcement in March to the reveal of the disguised prototype in May and most recently the details released just last week of the new Ingenium engine family that will provide its motivation. Now Jaguar has confirmed the XE reveal timeframe and some more salient details of its chassis.
Set to be unveiled in London on September 8, the XE will reach European showrooms in 2015 and our shores in 2016. That's when buyers will be able to get their hands on what Jaguar is already characterizing as "a true driver's car; one that redefines the concept of the sports sedan."
