WHY YOU SHOULD DRIVE THIS CAR...
The previous generation XJ8 is the ultimate refinement of the XJ saloon that Jaguar have been tastefully developing since the 60's. It represents an unique blend of timeless style, luxury and comfort, but with an underlying sportiness to its character. The Italians voted the XJ8 "The Most Beautiful Car in the World", which may explain the general air of "swagger". Good ones can be found for the price of a Fiesta.
