Good job Jaguar!! 0-60 in 4.4sec and 12.8 in the 1/4. Gotta love the big cat!!

Ill take the 750, I personally think the jaguar is unattractive (rear end).

Even though they are both older, I personally think this entire comparison is moot without the LS and S Class. (Yes, I read R&T's rationale for excluding them)

Just sayin'.

This Hong guy calling the 750Li bland compare to the previous generation ? LOL, they got rid of fugly and he call it bland

I'd happily take any of the top 3 in this test, there's something I like in each of them ...

Sounds like they said to themselves why bother. 750 trounced it last year and there have been no updates so why waste the page space.

I'd take the Jag. Aside from the weird black strip on the C-pillar, it's gorgeous. Low, sleek and classy.

^Maybe it's just me, but the concept of a "sporty" long wheelbase, 4,500lb car just makes little sense. Are driving characteristics and performance important? Of course, but luxury, features and technology should be the primary ranking criteria, as they probably are for most people actually buying these cars.

Considering that, I think it's foolish to rank this foursome without the two that essentially wrote the rulebook. However, they'd have to revaluate their ranking criteria and weightings for the S or LS to stand a chance against the A8 or Xj, so perhaps it's best that they weren't included.

Just my opinion.

I'd choose the Jag on looks alone.

I'm a bit intrigued with its performance credibility. C&D hated its driving dynamics, but R&T praises it...

i am with you, it's just odd they excluded those 2. i mean, what happens if they include the 2 and they end up not getting last place? does that mean some of these 4 aren't really that good at all?

haha well you always have people on both sides of the story anyway

Agree completely. I can't think of another car manufacturer that has come so far in terms of styling. I was behind the XJL at at light the other day and had to smile. It's a fantastic looking car. The evolution of the LS is a close 2nd.

Alucard

I'd gladly take any of those.

Im on the market for one of these. I really want a S class but that XJ is calling my name.

I would take any of them even the hyundai looks nice

Agreed. Not all cars are made to be track monsters. Don't understand why a car reviewer can't take that into consideration and change criteria based on CLASS. This is the luxo-boat range we're talking about here, not a 2500lbs speed demon. Luxury should be the utmost important criteria here over performance.

EDIT: It is kinda like testing a bunch of hybrids for performance, when people in that category are looking for something reliable, and fuel efficient and car magazines rank those important criteria consumers are ACTUALLY looking for in this range of cars dead last.
