Default Bit the bullet. I got a new car.

After privatly pondering about this for a while, I decided to go ahead and do it. I got into an 04 Jag X-type 3.0 AWD. I am still gonna hang out here, you guys can't get rid of me. Here are some pics. Whatcha think?

Wait wait wait. Is there still an IS around, or is this the "replacement"...?

ok i can't keep this up. i suck at practical jokes. plus i don't want anyone to think i would actually trade the IS for this. (not that there is anything wrong with the jag) the IS is still around. this is a loaner I got for taking the jag to the dealership for a service. i just really thought the x-type was pretty cool, and i really liked the AWD. thought i would share. as you can see from this pic you can actually see the reflection of the IS.

yep i'm a tool, i was so excited about playing a joke i forgot what forum to put it in. geez.

You are correct my friend.

Over to car chat even though you didn't buy it.

In my opinion, those cars are really pretty - but form what I've heard, they are quite a headache to own.

And I'm glad you're just borrowing it - because I also happen to believe them to be outrageously priced.

Nice car, but from what I heard the X-type is basically a Ford Taurus with the Jag's exterior.
