    It's amazing how Jaguars have always managed to captivate - something about that feline grace always draws another glance!! There's the understated aura of British luxury, and perhaps their rarity helps - fewer than a dozen shapes over seven decades. Almost an indefinable trait, though the term "animal magnetism" feels uniquely appropriate..!! Anyone who thinks today's crop resembles Lexus probably hasn't studied them up close. Jaguar bodies are still drawn by hand and fashioned from clay - there are subtleties to the materials, nuances of form and proportion that brook no comparison in Germany, Japan or America. Drive one and watch yourself, other drivers, and pedestrians react.. or just take my word, the animal's magnetism remains intact..

    I don't know squat about Jags and don't really care to, but listening to the Jag Genius crew above argue with each other about who knows more is great entertainment! To the point of the post, however, they are very nice design pieces, especially the two early examples in the foreground. It's a pitty you don't see any cut up into truly unique and beautify art-deco era customs, free of all the mass production eye insults shown in the photo.

    This just makes me want to scream. At Ford. For making the XJ before last a carbon copy of the previous car. It was predictably deathly dull (even if an excellent car), thus forcing them to come up with a whole new styling direction after 60 years of feline grace. If only they'd had a little nerve back in 2000, they wouldn't have had to make such a clean break with their glorious past. And new XJs and XFs would have sat comfortably with those pretty rumps in the photo. G'd Ford.
