In the world of Jaguar, it’s easy to get lost in the coupling of letters:  XF, XJ, and XK….So many choices and so many similarities and differences that makes each model perfect for the right owner.   One option that is an amazing choice for so many reasons is the 2010 Jaguar XFR.   Let’s find out why.

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.

What’s the only thing that makes a luxurious automobile more luxurious?  More luxury of course!  But how do you make something like the Chicago Jaguar XJ even better?  Admittedly, it is a hard thing to do.  I mean, how do you make something perfect MORE perfect?  But that’s why Jaguar has a team of (what I imagine are) scientists working tirelessly on making it even better by finding the latest and greatest technology that you probably haven’t even heard of.  Now, I’ve made many visits to my Chicago Jaguar dealer and have to say that these cars are the cream of the crop.  But of course, I didn’t have to tell you that.  Jaguar has been at the top of the luxury ladder for as long as I can remember, and they are in no danger of falling.  But the Jaguar XJ really sets the bar high.
