	Jaguar (car) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jaguar owns the Daimler car company (not to be confused with Daimler-Benz), which it bought in 1960 from the Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA).

	CanadianDriver: - 2000 Jaguar S-Type
		Jaguar expects 50% to 60% of S-Types to be leased, and at the end of a two year lease, the residual value is expected to be 64%, a comparatively high figure for Jaguar due in part to their improved reliability record.
		As you'd expect in a Jaguar, the S-Type has a luxuriously-finished interior, with plenty of lacquered wood trim on the dash, doors, centre console, steering wheel rim, and gearshift lever, and tasteful touches of chrome around the gear lever and on the door handles.
		Jaguar representatives bristle at any suggestion that the U.S.-built LS is the same car with a different body.

	Jaguar E-type - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The Series 1 was introduced in March 1961, using the triple SU carburetted 3.8 litre 6-cylinder Jaguar XK6 engine from the XK150S.

	South Florida Jaguar Club - 40th anniversary of the E-type
		Its name is the Jaguar E-type, or XKE as it will be better known in in the United State, and it is not only stunning but it also sets new standards in term of performance and price.
		Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons was on hand to personally demonstrate the car; incidentally he was known to prefer the styling of coupe to the convertible which may explain why both Geneva show cars were coupes.
		Original reaction to the car was such that Jaguar was not ready to mass produce it and it would take 2 years to finally create the tooling needed to produce the steel body instead of the hand made aluminum panel used on the early car.

	Jaguar X-TYPE Press Pack Text February 2001
		As Jaguar's first entrant into the fast-growing compact saloon segment, the X- TYPE is pitched directly against such established competitors as the Audi A4, BMW 3- Series and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
		Jaguar is at the forefront of the automotive communications revolution, and the X-TYPE is a multimedia technology showcase.
		Jaguar's franchised dealer network is being developed significantly in all major markets, reflecting the growth in sales volume that the X-TYPE will generate.

	CanadianDriver: Test Drive - 2004 Jaguar X-Type Estate 3.0
		Jaguar is marketing the X-Type Estate as a Canadian exclusive, meaning our neighbours to the South will have to wait and see if this corporate experiment is successful enough to warrant introducing the sultry wagon to US dealerships.
		Jaguar offers two models, largely differentiated by their engine displacement, available in either sedan or wagon form: the X-Type 2.5-litre with a 194-horsepower V6 and the X-Type 3.0-litre with a 231-horsepower V6.
		All X-Type models offer an elegant design with classic Jaguar style, the benefits of all-wheel-drive, and all the modern amenities and safety systems you expect in a luxury automobile.

	2005 Jaguar X-type VDP - Automobile Magazine
		The Jaguar guys themselves must be frustrated at having to play the Vanden Plas card to raise the X-type's profile in the marketplace, but at least they've recognized that quality is the Jaguar message.
		With the 2005 X-type, Jaguar is basically relaunching this model, emphasizing more than 1000 component changes to improve quality.
		Jaguar has some tough times ahead, as it sold just 54,655 cars in the United States during 2004, and it must continue to cope with the weak dollar, the introduction of sales incentives on premium sedans, and the shift to luxury sport-utilities.

	Guardian Unlimited The Guardian The Jaguar X-type
		And now Jaguar releases the X-type, a compact saloon but no less immediately desirable for that, and announcing an altogether different direction for the company by being (and here's a concept to which Jaguar is not famous for devoting much imaginative attention) affordable.
		Before we go faxing Jaguar to say, "Right on, comrades", we should note that the entry-level X-type costs £22,000, which makes it directly competitive with the Audi A4 and the BMW 3-Series, but which is nevertheless more than twice what most people will be hoping to spend on a new car this year.
		Had Jaguar created something based on the Nissan Sunny and fitted with a 1.1 engine, a Manchester United sunstrip, a snooker cue rack and a lager cooler, then the risk to the brand, and its patiently accumulated exclusivity, might have been acute.

	Four Seasons with the Jaguar X-Type - Automobile Magazine
		It's probably fair to say that the Jaguar X-type has not lived up to expectations, neither for its manufacturer nor for those of us here who have been living with it for the past year.
		Jaguar intended for its smallest and cheapest car to blow the brand open worldwide and to establish Jag as a true full-line automaker.
		The economic environment in which the car was launched continues to be tough for all carmakers, but especially so for Jaguar, which delivered its most self-conscious and new-moniest car just as the Western world's all-night coke binge was grinding to a halt.

	Jaguar XK & S-Type Luxury Car Review -- ROAD & TRAVEL Magazine
		Jaguar said it reworked the S-Type sheet metal for a cleaner and more "contemporary" look, but I had to park the car next to an earlier model to see the minor difference.
		Jaguar officials refer to it as "sporty but luxurious." The test car with the "comfort" suspension seemed to roll easily over road bumps and kept them from riders while still conveying something of the road texture to the driver.
		In 1963, Jaguar's XKE featured real aluminum trim inside.

	2005 Jaguar S-Type
		Jaguar says the S-Type 3.0 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds.
		CATS, Jaguar's Computer Active Technology Suspension is optional on V6 and V8 models, standard on the R. CATS optimizes ride and handling by using uprated springs to increase roll stiffness and electronically controlled two-stage adaptive dampers (shocks).
		Jaguar revised the suspension for 2005 to make the ride a bit smoother, but it's still tuned more for handling than a soft ride.

		Jaguar’s tradition was to sacrifice body control for ride quality, but the new S-Type also display excellent body control.
		Jaguar has just launched the 400hp S-Type R, Audi will put its 450hp RS6 into production soon, while Mercedes E55 AMG is ready to raise the game to 470hp.
		However, Jaguar expected it will take 88% of S-Type's sales in UK.

	2003 Jaguar S-Type R - Review
		Jaguar has addressed each of the previously stated problems and made improvements in many other areas as well.
		Jaguar cars with the R designation are performance models—similar to BMW’s M-series cars or Mercedes’ AMG cars.
		While Jaguar has retained this unique feature, the action required to move the lever from "D" to reverse or park seems less of a hassle.

	2005 Jaguar S-Type R on carlist.com
		As I put the finishing touches on a plastic model of the then-new Jaguar E-Type roadster, I somehow sensed that I was ensnared--never again to be entirely extricated--by a passion for automobiles.
		And, indeed, I would be grateful for Jaguar, even if it had disappeared over time (as it has narrowly escaped doing on several occasions) or if it had evolved into some kind of joyless automaker (as several of its former rivals have done).
		It is thoughtful, then, of Jaguar to have incorporated an electronic counter-measure to a driver's over-exuberance.

	Jaguar E Type - GB Classic Cars
		When the E Type Jaguar was launched in March 1961 at the Geneva Motor show it attracted the attention of the whole world like no other car ever had ever done before.
		The E Type had become a legend in its own lifetime and today of course the E Type is coveted throughout the world and it is widely recognised as the most memorable car of the last century.
		Changes to the E type were made in 1964 which included the fitting of the larger 4.2 litre XK engine, an all synchromesh gearbox, improved headlamps, and an alternator.

		Jaguar C-Types were victorious in 1951 and 1953 and then the D-Types gave Jaguar three more wins in 1955, 1956 and 1957.
		Performance credentials established, the Jaguar XK120 and its purpose-built racing cousins, the XK-powered C-type and the D-Type, went on to score famous victories in races and rallies in the UK, Europe and North America.
		Jaguar's Chairman and Chief Executive Nick Scheele said: "The XK engine was a masterpiece of design and the car in which it was first installed, the Jaguar XK120, quite clearly signposted the direction Jaguar would follow in the future.

	CanadianDriver: Motoring Memories - Jaguar E-Type, 1961-1975
		The E-Type Jaguar's lines were so pure and ageless that the New York Museum of Modern Art added a 1963 model to its permanent collection, only the third car to be so honoured; the others were a 1946 Cisitalia Gran Sport and a 1990 Ferrari Formula One Grand Prix car.
		Jaguar used both old and new components for the E. The 3.8 litre, double overhead cam, 265 horsepower six and four-speed manual transmission came from the XK150S.
		It was the first Jaguar not styled by William Lyons the father of the Jaguar.

	1951 Jaguar C-Type Feature
		The "C" in C-type stood for "competition," and the Jag was created to win at LeMans, which it did in '51 and '53, beating the Ferraris, Maseratis, Astons, and Talbots on the track.
		A specially made Jaguar replica front grille is both exciting and sexy, and the one-piece nose opens easily, fastened to the body with a very classy and traditional quality leather strap.
		The original '51 C had four louvers on the hood and this model uses only two and, from an aesthetic point of view, it might even look better this way.
