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!

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.

For a vehicle that most owners would find to be near-perfect, all Jaguar models will soon be made with aluminum bodies.  Tata Motors is the company that owns the Jaguar brand.  They made the decision to change the metal used largely due to economic reasons.  As we all know, the economy cannot get much worse that it is now, and Tata is no exception to its effects.  In 2008, the company lost approximately $1 billion in revenue due to reduced demand of more expensive vehicles, higher manufacturing costs, and cost to come up with new models during a recession….With all this being said, making all Chicago X Type with aluminum could help reduce costs, which may help generate more money for the company.

Currently, XK and XJ Jaguar models are made with aluminum and the company who supplies the metal is Novelis.  They have offices in North and South America, Europe and Asia.  They provide aluminum for the auto industry, as well as other transportation, packaging, and construction businesses, to name a few.  They have been chosen as the sole provider for all sheet aluminum to be used in future models.

What other positive effects will using aluminum have for Jaguar cars?   The aluminum will help the car’s aerodynamics and will create a “lighter” vehicle.  The new Jaguars, versus the older, Jaguar used car Chicago, will be safer, since aluminum is a sturdier, reliable metal…..Moreover, since Novelis is also involved in recycling, they will take the scrap metal from Jag’s stamping plants in Europe, and make them into new aluminum sheets that will go into producing new cars.  This helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and uses less energy.  It is great that the company is taking steps to help the environment.
