It does, but it's 340i/S4/C43 power, Jaguar really needs a proper high performance XE above this one. I still don't like the looks of the thing though, but I'll drop by a Jag showroom and have a proper poke and feel some time soon.

Even then, as HP points out, they're too much money, I forecast heavy depreciation on these over the next couple of years, especially if Jag do bring out a more powerful model.

The XE is aiming down into that market segment, e.g. A3/A4 and it shows. Nice enough inside (and much better than most) but the bigger ones are so much better.

Depends what you're after and expect to pay at the end of the day.

We knew what we wanted and it was a really high spec (A8 level ideally) in a small 4- or 5-door family car. Difficult to get and the list (as described in a thread here somewhere) just kept getting shorter for various reasons. I for one really didn't like the smaller Mercs and BMWs.
