Considering Jaguar S type R.....

sy1172 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-16-07, 11:17 PM

Anyone have any experience with this...specifially the 400hp R model? I can't find a neg. mark about it online. Like my prev. post, I am sick of shifting and need an auto. Don't like the german offering and have always loved the look of the Jaguar S Type R. Seems they are roughly the price of a used V year for year.

Thanks!

Give up on the STS-V ?

What's with all these threads lately?

Anyone have some feedback on the Kia Spectra? I'm thinking about trading my V because the lumpy cam scares me.

its like asking the girl who wants to take you to the prom if her friend is free that night. We are Cadillac lovers! We have passion about our cars! Why would we recomend another brand?

Get em Tony!

You typical stuck-up V owners need to wait and buy a Nissan GT-R.

I think Motor Trend summarized the choice between the two fairly well:

If you like BMW's M cars, the Cadillac CTS-V is more likely your taste. If you prefer Mercedes AMGs of any and all stripes, and you're happy letting the car shift its own gears, buy the Jaguar S-Type R.

This is crazy! People come here, don't pay for membership and then ask us to talk them into other cars!

Like we've all said 1 million times, drive them both and make a decision. If you still want a Jaguar then get one... It's not rocket science! No need to ask complete strangers on the internet how to spend $40K-$55k!

Ooops, you guys beat me to it!

I want to take a poll. Who is more of a hero. Chef for building a mean machine or whistler for builder a "BAD BOY" rep for the V!

At first I kinda of felt sorry for jacking this thread but. Like whistler said. You come to a internet forum and ask how you should spend $45k?? Buy a damn car and pay for a membership somewhere already!

I'm still curious what put him off on the STS-V.

Motor Trend sucks.
