Hey, I don't like a hard ride either. Big rims and lowering always seem to do more harm than good unless it's a sports/track car.
In other news, you don't get much more blatant a comparison than this without arranging it yourself. Callum XJ in the center, Lawson XJ on the right:
"Daddy, someone overinflated the XJ!"
The low profile was what set Jaguar apart. It is a shame they aren't like that anymore. I'm not sure if it was a new design language or government that changed it.
To be fair, there were complaints about the X30x model that needed addressing. Purely as an aesthetic object, the X30x is better looking.
Even after all the stuff that you've said about how the best Jags are the X305/X308, For reasons i can't quite grasp i just like the X358 better. Don't worry, i deny the existence of the X351.
The former. There were no government regulations on interior room, after all, but somebody wanted to compete with other companies on interior space at the expense of aesthetics.
Spectre, you sound like Ian Callum personally killed your pet dog with a shotgun when you were growing up or something.
It's this "purist" attitude where people worship their beloved brands so seriously that turns me off brand loyalties in general - and that's me putting it lightly. You're a smart guy (for a right-winger ), you ought to get over this vendetta and quit blaming everything on one man like he's the Antichrist. (Or maybe that explains your Obama rants?)
