Reviews SummaryIt’s entirely understandable if, off the top of your head, you can name only two luxury car brands. Mercedes and BMW are the most recognizable, because they’re all most Americans buy when $700 monthly payments and $3,000 property taxes are of absolutely no concern. Then there’s Jaguar. In 2014, Mercedes and BMW each sold more than 330,000 cars. Jaguar barely registered 16,000. So the flagship XJ—a beautiful, rich, stunning machine that actually costs a good deal less than the S-class or the 7 Series—is a rare sight on the road. We’re not sure why, but we’re here to inform you that it exists and very much deserves your attention if you’re sailing such high seas. | |
