Jags are awesome.

If a person doesn’t like a Jag, he doesn’t know how to work on cars, have AAA, or have a personal mechanic on speed dial.

That’s all it takes.

Ford sold its Jaguar and Land Rover operations to Tata Motors of India in 2008. Ford purchased Jaguar in 1990 and Jaguar did share some parts with other Ford vehicles but was never really manufactured by Ford.....so there ya go...ford parts

I like the new jags bracelet that is the keys. Never have to hit a fob or turn a key. Pretty cool idea

We did the T5 Inscription as well, no option packages. We added a trailer hitch, the load bars (we don't keep them on), the steel bumper protector, and the reversible textile mat for the cargo area.

With the Volvo app you can remote start the car and go to one of your preset climate settings, so you can warm/cool the car off quite nicely.

What color combination?

The S type was a product of the Ford era...a good bit has changed since then. Reliability is improved.

Denim Blue with the Charcoal interior. What did you get?

The salesman tried to push the whole autodrive option (not sure what it is called). It freaked out my wife during the test drive.

Tell your wife you want to lease a mistress as part of the deal.

Silver with blonde/charcoal interior.

We ordered ours before there were any to test drive, and the videos of what the I-pilot did were just too strange. We live on the MS coast and it's slow enough down here where those features just seemed more intrusive than helpful.

My wife likes the speed limit sign camera and the features surrounding that.

The interior mood lighting is damn cool, you can choose accent lighting over a color wheel of options. The seats are so damn comfortable...y'all are going to LOVE this thing. My wife is happier than a pig in shite with hers.
