A Jag is a hell of a lot nicer inside inside than any Z. The target market for a Jag isn't someone who even knows a Z exists. Jags are made so women have something pretty to park at the country club.

Even wth a nice interior that doesn't add up to 30k extra

Yeah, but the new F-Type looks fantastic. I'm looking forward to Top Gear's review, I saw a clip of it in the intro. If you can afford it, then speed isn't necessarily what you care about, nor is reliability for that matter.

It's a gorgeous car. If I ever had a company willing to lease me a work car, I'd seriously consider it. Jag reliability has come up in recent years, but I still wouldn't have one as my only car.

Top Gear will always give a more favorable review to a Brit car than it usually deserves.

Funny because the last one he owned was like 25-30 years ago. Only James owns one, and he's hinted many times that he will be buying the 458


And honestly, they make fun of Great Shittish cars ALLLLLLLL the time, they didn't like the last Jag because it was too golf club-ish, And they really do crap crap about Lotus, Range Rovers and almost everything else's reliability

Um... I don't even know what this means...

332HP... Base 33K?
Really Nissan?

I'll stick with my 30k base 5.0 (that has 416HP)


240HP... Base 93k? (S350 BluTec)
Really Mercedes?

I'll stick with my 33k base 370Z


The Jag and the 370 aren't even CLOSE to the same league... They shouldn't be compared

My good friend just picked up a new 5.0. New flowmaster exhaust system plus a tune put him at 382whp. Not that impressive IMO for a 5L V8. Plus their wheels, calipers, how the dash meets the doors, and the seats looks like fiddo's *** hole.

I'll bet that Jag is a hell of a lot more comfortable than any Z ever made and can hold 2 golf bags in the trunk.

I'd take a Boxter S over the base f type, and a 911 S over the v8 model. But hey I've never been into British cars.. Does look sexy in person though!
The V8 model has a nice price per horsepower btw.

It makes a wonderful noise too. I'm with you though. If I had the cash in hand, I'd come home with a 911.
