Not that I know any of you really that well at all from being a CEG member for the past few years, but im really so excited i can't help but tell someone: tomorrow I'll be picking up my SVT replacement-- a 2002 Jaguar X-type 2.5 MTX with sport/premium package.
I loved the SVT but it's time to move on the bigger, better things!
2000 SVT, #387 of 2150

Your rear seat passengers will be pleased, congrats and good luck!

In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.

-'98 SVT 1,173 of 6,535

Way to rain on his parade.. 
Actually, I thought the 2.5L with the 5-speed had decent enough power, about on-par with the SVT.

Personally, I really like the car. The lines are classic! The rear end could use a little more thought, but overall an excellent package, & a 2002 is a very good buy these days!
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Hope you are getting a good deal because Jag can't give new ones away. I agree with Todras, not my choice.

I've heard the Jag service departments are horrible. But, my brother-in-law would not drive anything else.

Depreciation is bad on these, but that makes them a bargain in the used market.
Can I ask what you picked it up for?
