Update.... Well I only got to drive the X-type. It was the 2.5/manual. They didn't have the 3.0 w/ manual. I thought it was very nice, but not worth $35k. It seemed slower than my car, but that could be the effect of AWD. Jaguar claims a 0-60 time of 7.9 seconds. The seats were excellent. Great lateral support. It also had buttons on the steering wheel to answer a built in cell phone. Handling in the corners was very nice. It felt very balanced. It's got this ugly fake black wood across the dash, and it come with a tape player of all things. It did have a CD changer, buy who uses tapes anymore. The shifter had good feel as well. I think I would buy a 3 series BMW before I bought an X-type. I'm going to try next Monday to drive an XK8, didn't want to waste too much of her time. Overall, nice car just (IMHO) not worth the dough. Although it does come with a long list of options.
