    Default So I'm on the Road...

    ...and I see one of these.



    I can't help but wonder..."What the hell is Jaguar thinking?"

    First off, hardly anyone in the US buys station wagons. Secondly, hardly anyone buys the Jaguar X-Type. Why would they even bother selling these here?

    I saw a burgundy one the other day. I had to do a double take because I had no clue it came in wagon form.

    I think the X-Type is an affront to Jaguar. Quality is down, and it hasn't sold well at all...it lacks quite a bit of Jaguar-ness. I think it looks alright though...though I like the XJ better.

    As for wagons though...I'd take an Audi, SAAB, or Volvo.

    There is an AWD X-Type, and yes...the XKR is AMAZING. Can't wait for the XKR-R to come out...hopefully with a manual gearbox.
