2005 Jaguar Xj Super V8 Fast Luxury. Rare & Beautiful Every Option-stunning! on 2040-cars
Verona, Wisconsin, United States
I bought this remarkable Super V8 new for $93,000 and have loved every minute of owning her. You simply will not find another Super V8 this beautiful. The 390HP supercharged engine really fires the lightened aluminum body off the line. It is a large luxury sedan, it drives like a much smaller sports car. While you're getting ogled as a driver, your rear seat passengers will enjoy limousine-like luxury. The rear seats recline and are heated with independent temperature controls. There is a rear console for them to control the stereo, DVD system and gaming input. The right rear seat can even control the front passenger seat. Mom will want you to turn this feature off the first time the kids start messing with her seat. The switch to turn off that feature is on the drivers arm rest. The folding rear trays are like really nice airplane trays-adorned with the beautiful black walnut burl wood. Those rear seat guests or kids will feel like celebrities cruising in this super car as you raise the electronically controlled rear shade. They can pull up the rear side window shades too. Super V8's are rare as they were expensive and hard to find. I get 24mpg on the highway and 20mpg general purpose miles. I have meticulously maintained my car in a heated garage while I drive her on my 50 mile daily commute. She is most fun on extended road trips however. Despite her mileage, she has many, many good miles and years in her. Your friends will think you paid a ton more than you'll have to to own this wonderful car. There is nothing wrong with her at all. It's like shoes, women and underwear...sometimes you just need a change (sorry about the women comment, honey. Just trying to be funny). I have this car for sale locally. You can look at, inspect and test drive near Madison, WI before bidding but please bid if you're interested or it may sell locally from under your feet and you'll be seriously sorry to have missed out on this exceptional luxury sports sedan. |

2021 Jaguar F-Pace spied getting ready for a significant update
Tue, Dec 3 2019The Jaguar F-Pace is still relatively new to the world — started as a 2017 model year car — but it looks like an update is on the way. These spy shots preview a few new design and styling details coming to the companyÂ’s luxury crossover. Its shape remains the same, but Jaguar appears to be honing the finer points. Jaguar has taken the liberty of covering up the front bumper to a great extent. Look out for a redesigned front grille (probably larger than today) and reshaped front lower air intakes. The headlights might be getting a makeover to fit the new face better, but itÂ’s tough to tell how different they may be with all the camo surrounding them. This F-Pace is similarly disguised out back with a full form-fitting cover. We can see the LED taillights poking through, and the design may be a bit different than how it looks today. With so much camouflage itÂ’s tough to know for sure, but the lights look slimmed down and generally smaller. One of the two F-Paces spied here has visible exhaust tips extending beyond the bumper. ItÂ’s tough to say what the rear valance and exhaust design will look like in final production form, but the rear aesthetic is definitely going to be different. There are no interior photos, but our spy shooters report seeing a fully covered interior. This could indicate some new design elements and updated tech. WeÂ’ll expect both of those things when the mildly updated F-Pace is ultimately revealed. Look out for a launch soon, possibly as a 2021 model year vehicle.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Aston Martin DBX and the craziest car redesigns | Autoblog Podcast #716
Fri, Feb 11 2022In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. They chat about slumming it in the Aston Martin DBX, the brand's first SUV, which they didn't have terribly high expectations for yet utterly blew them away. Riswick in particular notes it's one of the best cars he's ever driven, describing it as a family GT car. They then switch to a very different family vehicle: the 2022 Kia Carnival, and the unique second-row seating arrangement we've dubbed the "Captain Kirk chair." Greg has also been driving the Chevrolet Tahoe Premier. They also chat about two of Riswick's recent features: the 20 craziest car redesigns of the past 20 years and the best cars for snow. Autoblog Podcast #716 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown Cars we're driving Aston Martin DBX 2022 Kia Carnival 2022 Chevy Tahoe Features 20 craziest car redesigns of the last 20 years Best cars for snow Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.
