2010 Jaguar XJIf you are a car lover and you mention anything about the Jaguar brand, you know that you are not only going to be getting one of the most luxurious cars in the world, but you are getting a car that you can depend on.  In this day and age, it is hard to find things to depend on, however – Jaguar is something that you can trust.  Now, let’s take a look into the 2010 Jaguar XJ.  This is one Jaguar that is sure to capture some new customers and certainly catch quite a few people’s eyes.

The 2010 Jaguar XJ is one car that will run quite a bit on the money side of thing, topping out around $72k to $115k, it is so worth it.  The 2010 Jaguar XJ is one car that could be up there with the newest Porsche or even a BMW, however – I think that we do need a little more information about the 2010 Jaguar XJ … that of course is not available right at this moment.

I’ll keep an eye out for you though and any updates?  The 2010 Jaguar XJ will be back on here with some specs for you to look at!

Will the 2010 Jaguar XJ be Illegal in the US?

jaguar-xj_consoleI am so utterly in love with every aspect I have thus far seen of the 2010 Jaguar XJ. It is absolutely gorgeous. It looks, to be quite frank, like sex on four wheels — and that is saying a lot, because generally I am not a fan of the newer Jags. I like the older ones much, much more.

But that might be a moot point. Something really great about the new Jaguar might just be illegal in the United States.

Specifically, the dual view console screen, one of the most awesome systems ever, might just ruin it for everybody.

It was designed so passengers could watch a movie during a drive. However, that could get distracting if you are the (lucky, lucky, lucky) driver, right? Exactly.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration thinks so as well. Still, even the designer points out that the system itself is made so that the driver will not be distract it. Will it make it through?

2010 Jaguar XKR Goodwood Special: It’s Unveiled!

2010 Jaguar XKR Goodwood SpecialI never thought that I would actually like a Jaguar car.  My girlfriend, she is nuts for them but me?  Well, I never thought that I would find one that I actually loved … until I laid eyes on the 2010 Jaguar XKR Goodwood Special.  This beautiful car is not only one of those cars that is breathtaking to look at, but under the hood, it is completely exotic and all around beautiful!  This incredible car is actually a need-for-speed car … no the video game exactly, but it is a car that needs to be going fast most of the time because honestly … it goes up to about 225 miles per hour and that is … crazy!

Under the hood: 5.0-liter V8 for a total of 530 horsepower and 515 lb-ft of torque. Considering that the (anything but) ordinary 510 hp version rockets to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds.  All of that and the car actually looks cool too?  That is mind blowing to me and I have to say that you really need to take a closer look at this particular car … it truly is one of those cars that look beautiful and live up to the Jaguar name!

Just remember the 2010 Jaguar XKR Goodwood Special name and just wait for it to come out … it is going to be hot and selling out so fast!

Jaguar going hybrid, engineers say Lexus builds inefficient hybrids

Filed under: Hybrid Cars,Jaguar,Lexus — Tags: , , , — Jonas @ 11:01 pm

Jaguar keeps its hands busy with the development of the new XJ saloon which is set to be released by the third quarter of 2010. The sales of the current XJ version are not as impressive as its competition from the 7 series of BMW and the S-Class of Mercedes Benz. Jaguar learned that looking in the past for design inspiration is a big mistake and they will not be making the same error again.

Jaguar designers wants to build new cats that are ready to pounce with more aggression. According to an insider, they are looking at deriving the lines of the new XJ from the XF. Aside from the look upgrade, the XJ will also get a work up with new engine features.

The car manufacturer is planning to launch a hybrid XJ by 2011 or a year after the new XJ saloon hits dealerships. The plug-in XJ will utilize the power from lithium ion battery packs combined with a combustion engine primarily used to back up the batteries.

All the plans can be executed, thanks to a loan amounting to £307 million from an investment bank. Jaguar is planning to collaborate with Land Rover to develop hybrid technologies which can be used for their next range of cars.

The platform Jaguar plans to use is a lot more similar to the one used by the Chevrolet Volt. Land Rover will be looking into engines similar to the Prius’ which makes use of both the combustion engine and the electric powertrain to drive the wheels.

The Jaguar XF has to be one of the best looking Sports Sedans out there. Lovely lines, aggressive styling and a badge to match. I like it!
