Since years ago I blew up a Jag on the M3 in England (drop pistons out of
the bottom), they are crap vehicles. Notorious for bad quality control and
not good sound engineering. Maybe this is why Ford purchases the company for
a cheap price. I would not own one if they paid met too. Looks, well, the
959 Porsche has better distinct look. The AMG E class has a more distinct
look.
I love cars that can not only perform but run with the best on a oval track
or winding streets. As it comes to Money! Easily done with leasing
program, or financial terms. But, my choices would not be a BMW, since my
friends owned them have nothing but problems. Benz , with the exception to
the AMG are completely boring cars to drive. The choice would be a Porsche
Twin Turbo, which will not only blow Jag away but is a complete performer.
Now, most bang for the buck is a blown Cobra or SS Camaro that can be
refitted for not only for performance but refined for NASCAR suspension.
You are right that Mustang are dime a dozen but maybe that is why they sell
so many. But what turned heads is not the average everyday Mustangs. It is
the Saleen S-281, S351 or S Wide Body (price: 40K - 143K), or Roush Mustang
or F-150. Flip, I will be in a parking lot (Blockbusters), waiting, when
cars would drive by and the passengers will do a double take to see what
kind of car it was. I have even people in Lexus drive completely around the
rear to see again. Now, I don't do that for any Jag, Mercedes or BMW (which
are a dime a dozen here in Southern Cal). Unless you drive a Viper (rare),
a Lambo (rare), or even a F-50. These cars not only turned heads but people
slowed down. I even went down looking for next car for 2001, a Saleen S281
or a S351 (rated at now 495HP). Again, even this car can blow doors off any
Jag in the 1/4 mile (122MPH run or 4.7 0-60MPH) and beat it on any oval
track. It has a killer look, and is rare breed of true performing car.
Cobra! Another Ford product: check the engine!
Beside Flip, any woman married a guy for his car has some serious problems
(no offense). But being rude, you are right (along with 454)!. After
serving the military for 20 years, has given me a red personality. When you
serve with the best, it is trait that is hard to get rid of.

Rob is right, that was just plain rude. And I doubt that the Stang
gets more looks than a Jag would. Stangs are a dime a dozen. Jags,
you don't see every day. Buying a Jag says more about someone than
just they have a lot of money. The obvious choice would be a BMW, or
a Mercedes, so the Jag shows individuality. (kinda like a Dakota)
The Jag is one of the few sedans I would even consider owning; if I
had the $$, which I don't. I would potentially marry a man for his
Jag though. (I would definitely marry a man for the little blue Cobra
I saw at the Rod and Custom show. Or the Willys pickup with 755
horsepower, though it's show career would be OVER!! What a waste)

First off I think he couldn't kick my butt. Second, let him try!.
Third,
the Stang gets more looks then the plain own Jag will ever get
(beside it is
a Ford product). Like the Saleen or the Roush Mustangs/Trucks, which
can
turn more heads then most vehicles with exceptional to the Viper.
Finally
fourth, I am not interested in any HOOOO, if it was easy to get!!!
