The 2010 Chicago Jaguar XF is one amazing sedan.  Who doesn’t find the Jaguar brand intriguing?  They’re elegant, luxurious, and have amazing performance.  Let’s see what this current Jag brings to the table.  Continue Reading…

Jaguars are amazing cars, there’s no doubt about that.  When I think of one, I associate it with someone who’s successful, likes to show it, and is a bit more conservative all around.  In fact, when I was growing up my neighbor down the street was a doctor and he drove one.   Case in point, I guess!

The diesel engine powered car is widely used in the European auto markets and in other parts of the world, but isn’t as welcomed here in the US.  I think we’re just so used to our gasoline engines, no matter how much we complain about the high cost of gas!

Jaguar is currently designing a Chicago XF that would have a 4 cylinder diesel engine.  It will be a 2.2 Liter engine that is inspired by the LR2.  It will need a little bit of tweaking to make it work in the XF lineup.  It will need a new starting and stopping system to keep the fuel economy lower, since Land Rovers aren’t exactly known to be fuel friendly”.

An aunt I have once taught her cat Sparkles how to fetch a pencil so she could work crossword puzzles. Her reaction could be described as combination of unbridled mirth and profuse pride. It turns out that Jaguar owners feel just about the same about their different breed of cats every time they slip behind the wheel, though they do it with fewer TunaTreats and without the subsequent word puzzles.

What I’m trying to say in the most circuitous and bizarre method possible is that J.D. Power and Associates has rated Jaguar 2nd in its annual Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study. Yes, Jaguar just got more APEALing.

The APEAL Study evaluates customers’ delight on their new vehicle during the first 90 days of ownership, particularly in the areas of vehicle design, content, layout and performance and is based on responses gathered between February and May 2009 from more than 80,900 purchasers and lessees of new 2009 model-year cars and trucks.

Thinking back to my Chicago Jaguar XK test drive a few months ago, I completely understand why Jag placed so highly in this study. Everything about a Jaguar is set up to please the customer. From the dealership, to the service, to the most important factors of driving feel and elegant styling, Jaguar delivers with precision the choicest of automobile to the choosiest of drivers.

In just its first year, the Chicago Jaguar XF took 2nd in the study among cars in the Midsize Premium Car category with a score of 859 – 80 points higher than the industry average and 21 points higher than its closest competitor in the category. Receiving especially high scores for the engine/transmission category, the Chicago Jaguar XF proved to be a pleasing purchase a true animal when it comes to passing power at highway speeds.

Check out the Chicago Jaguar XK and XF at your new and used Jaguar Chicago dealer, Patrick Jaguar. As the best new and used Jaguar dealer in Chicago, Patrick has a great inventory that features many trim levels of every Jaguar model.

Jaguar has unveiled a U.K. “police pursuit vehicle” that would offer police forces in Great Britain an ultimate machine for tracking down criminals. And it’s really good looking, too.
