Jaguar is teaming up with entertainer Jay-Z to promote the new Chicago Jaguar XJ 2011 model that is scheduled to go on sale in April.  What the company is doing is putting the 2011 XJ in his new video for “On To The Next One” and Jay-Z will also make some appearances throughout 2010 to promote this luxury vehicle. Jaguar has chosen Jay-Z because they are impressed with the career he has made in music, fashion, business and sports!

So, why does this entertainer love this car so much?  There are plenty of reasons why and I am excited to share a few with you!

With every new model for each year, one area that does not change is the overall sophistication and luxuriousness of this auto (even when compared to other Chicago used Jaguar models).  Inside the XJ are new leather trim and upgraded leather seats.  Also found inside is a leather headliner and the gauge lighting with a soft red hue.  The revised interior gives a modern look.

The 2011 Jaguar Chicago XJ line will come in several different trim and model options.  Here is there breakdown:

• 4-Door Sedan XJ  Trim:    comes in 3 options: 4 door sedan XJ, the XJ supercharged, and XJ Supersport
• 4- Door Sedan XJL Trim:  comes in the 4 door sedan XJL, the XJL Supercharged and XJL Supersport

All of these options will come with a V-8 engine, but will differ in powertrains. The Supersport having more power than the XJ or XJL base models, and the Supersport having more than the Supersport.  They can each seat 5 passengers and come with 4 doors and rear wheel drive.

Since this vehicle is coming out in April for the 2011 car season, test drives and reviews are still being conducted.  Jaguar has the reputation for producting quality and luxury cars that are powerful, and the 2011 Chicago Jaguar XJ should be no different!…Heck, Jay-Z likes it and he can afford pretty much any car he wants!

The Chicago XF  and XFR models have received some special awards. Automobile magazine has, for the 2nd straight year, named the 2010 Jaguar XF All Star of the Year. This is truly a great honor. The staff who work for this prestigious auto information source drive and write about all brands of luxury cars. They must truly find the Chicago Jaguar XF/XFR extraordinary models!

One area the XF and XFR models rank high in is Performance and here are a few reasons why.  Just to clarify, the XF is the “base model” and the XFR is the supercharged step up that provides an outstanding Hp of 510.  The XF has a V8 engine and the XFR has the “supercharged” V8.  They both drive so great, writing about they makes me wish I had one parked in my driveway, but anyways, back to reality!   These Chicago XF  models can weave in and out of traffic, handle curves, and glide smooth and evenly on the highway. 

Interior wise, like some other used cars Jaguar, they are beautiful, as though you’d expect anything less from this auto company.  There a lot of “bells and whistles” inside the cabin.   My personal favorite is the knob in the center of the console that rises up, replacing the traditional gear lever.  Also, many of the audio and climate controls are done via touch screens, but the controls on the steering wheel help with the convenience for the driver.  The driver and front passenger seats are very comfortable, with arm rests, which get a big thumbs up from me!

When you drive up to a dealership’s lot and see the Chicago Jaguar XF waiting for you, there are some features that you will notice.  Even though the XF/XFR are sedans, they have a coupe-like look to them.  The design is more modern and sleek, as compared to other used cars Jaguar options.   A bit of a change from the typical Jaguar look.  The front grille takes on a square shape and the headlights have a wide shape.

It is easy to see why Automobile magazine has given the All-Star award to the XF and XFR for 2010.  Head out to Patrick Jaguar right now and take an exciting test drive!

“Good service gets you a customer for life.”……a quote my grandfather always lived by.  And that was true, if someone treated him right and gave him a good product, he remained loyal….Perhaps this is true for Jaguar too!  This luxury car company has topped J.D. Power’s Sales Satisfaction Survey.  Obviously, the salespeople at Chicagoland used Jaguar dealers are treating customers well and giving them a great product to take home! Continue Reading…

Every holiday season I look forward to getting the seasonal catalog from Neiman Marcus.  What a great selection of quality jewelry, clothes and handbags!  But, this year something really stood out in my catalog- a Chicago Jaguar XJ.  Yes,that’s right.  The store has chosen this luxury car to be included in it’s Christmas book.

The 2010 Jaguar XJL Supercharged Neiman Marcus Edition went on sale a few months ago when the big book first came out.  Jaguar only made 50 Neiman Marcus editions, so they most likely sold very fast!  The good news for Jag enthusiasts is that the new XJ will be sold at your Chicago Jaguar dealer starting early 2010.

The all-new 2010 Chicago Jaguar XK convertible is one of the sleekest rides on the road. Not only does it draw eyes with its design, it turns heads with its power. Built with a 5.0L, V8 engine and 6-speed automatic transmission, the 2010 XK creates 385 hp and has an incredible acceleration of 0-60mph in just 5.3 seconds. The 2010 Jaguar reaches a fuel economy of 16 mpg city and 22 mpg highway.

Also, for those who have concerns with convertible roofing, the Jaguar’s retractable roof is found to attach quickly and efficiently (as demonstrated in the video), and drivers are guaranteed to experience very low wind noise when driving with it up.
