None of them look as good as the Jag, I can tell you that.

You're a cruiser guy, I can understand that. So, you're like 63, right? You're at the winding down part of your life. The kids have moved out, the wife has kicked off, the dog has run away, and your neighbors are spreading rumors about you.

well...I'm 20, just going to college.  The friends are out drinking while im working.  The girlfriend left because I make her "skin crawl" the dog got hit by a car, and my neighbors called the cops on me because I was playing my music too loud. 

So I'm really in need of a stiff drink and a Zonda F...but I figure an XK8 will do me good enough.

Wow, I didn't know that Jags had next to no resale value

For that price, the car is an awesome value

It's a damn shame, really.  They are so beautiful...and they are near worthless.

Jaguar has improved ten-fold over the past 10 years.  The new XJ and XK are wonderful automobiles.  I wish the buying public would take note.

I think the Z4 and the Boxster look better than the XK :huh:

Heh, I think the Boxster does too; I was trying to make him feel better about being an old man with a basketball-sized prostate and ED.

But their price doesn't look nearly as good.  ;)

Get the Jag, you know you want it! Who cares if the Z4 or Boxter is a better sports car. In a street car, the Jag can go just as fast, but looks better doing it. If you want to keep the sedan, then another sedan would be nearly worthless, so go for the coupe.
Like a fine Detroit wine, this vehicle has aged to budgetary perfection...

Thats the thing.  I've driven the Z3, 4, and boxter.  I would love to own a boxter, but I cannot afford one.  The Jag is such a great cruiser.  It has plenty of power, handles well enough, and is just too sexy for words.
