The new Lambo certainly has too much AUdi influence. I forgot if VW or BMW got Rolls & who got Bentley. Bentley's r way cooler anyways |

If you want to keep the Ferrari Connection why not try the Maserati 3200 GT or Spider. The new improved ones got very good reviews on Autocar (UK). |

No. A Rolls is a Volkswagen. |

Careful, Bob. Remember the Fiat connection. I don't think you want to go there. |

Definitely one of the nicer Ford models, much better than the Crown Vic or Taurus.

Yes, I have quite a few comments about Jaguar XKR's unfortunately, most of them are not repeatable on this forum......
I had a model year 2000 Jag XKR convertible Pacific Blue exterior & ivory interior.....When the car was handed back to the dealer it had 1500 miles on the clock and over 500 of those were taking the car back to either the dealer or the Jaguar factory at Coventry.......I eventually got my money back (after 6 months, and two lawyers)....The car is beautiful to look at and reliable....Fit and finish is good if a little production line (big fitment tolerances, that give a somewhat sloppy feel to the quality.....particularly the grill and headlight areas......)
What truly SUCKED on the car was the paint...the rear of the car was resprayed 4 times....It wasn't great out of the factory (chipped, thin, and several areas of dirt ingress)......Then the dealer had a go at correcting the problem....Oh my God what a disaster!!!!!!! Remember the more complex the paint....metallic, fliptone etc, the harder it is to respray.
Believe it or not, I would still recommend the XKR, I just got a 'bad' one....it IS a good car, beautiful....pretty fast, and some very cool gadgets eg Adaptive cruise control (I am not sure if this is available in the USA) basically it is a radar based intelligent cruise control, and it works very well......
Hope you find the info useful

Any comments or experiences with this car. I am thinking of getting one and wanted your opinion. I know this is a Ferrari forum, but I am looking for a daily driver and trying to figure out which car to get.
Thanks in advance |
