I have to disagree with this. Before Ford owned Jaguar, Jaguars had horrible, horrible problems. My parents have had 9 Jaguars in the last 15 years (it's the only car my dad will buy, until he got a RX330 for my mom always a fan of Jaguar, until the 2004 model. That damn thing is this year), and the quality has definitely continually improved. I wasn't awesome. My dad has the Vanden Plas, and it is absolutely ridiculous. Possibly the closest to a perfect car I have seen. It is one of the best looking cars on the road, it handles like a car 1/4 of it's size, it's stereo blows anything else I have heard out of the water, and the damn thing is faster than a Crossfire. Plus, we have had absolutely no problems with our past 3 Jaguars, and they never once had to go to the shop. Also, price the Vanden Plas out against a S500, A8 or 745, and the Jaguar is the better value by far...

oh yea, and the Crossfire still doesn't look like a PT Cruiser.
