Cool as hell. Makes me want one, but I will never be able to afford the damn thing.

Would not hav bought a jag if this had been an option in 2012 the closest think infiniti was pedaling was an M with a truck motor

It kind of looks like a 4 door GT-R. Really looks beautiful.

AJ133 > VR38DETT
And the XF's chassis is vastly superior to the G37/QnumberIcan'tbebotheredtoremember's.

Jag > Infiniti

Plus, for the (theoretical!) price of a (not actually produced) Eau Rogue you can get an XJR-L. Uh...sorry Infiniti. No @#$%ing contest.

Now don't get me wrong: I think the Qentrylevelmodelwithfourdoors is a great-looking car and the GTR powertrain is phenomenal and interesting and I'm thrilled to see Nissan playing around with both of them together. But Jag is in a whole different leage from Infiniti. Hell, I'm not even sure they're playing the same sport.

I love my AJ, and I've got the severely neutered ancient Ford version.

I feel just the opposite. Call me crazy but I'd rather drive an Infiniti daily rather than admire a "better designed" Jeeeeaaaag while it sits in the shop again waiting to be fixed. No argument that they are attractive "Tata's" for their design, and feel good to the touch, but if you plan on keeping one, there's plenty of evidence to show they sag. :)
