Hello people! I don't know what took so long as I am tech savy AND been a Jag owner since 2003. Traded my 01 XJ8 VDP Supercharged earlier this year for and 08 XJ8L. Went looking for a LS460 or 750Li but ended up buying this
Love it except the part that:
a) No leaper? Dealer wants $500 to install...sucks!![EEK!](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif)
b) iPhone hookup (ACM) Dealer wants $600ish (parts + labor).
I am monitoring the thread in the forum re. this.
I still miss my supercharger but the ride is so much improved & the grill is great in the front. Check out my "3" photos in the Album

All said, I still turnaround and look at it when I walk away from it

And I completely agree how Jag has changed but yet remains the same. I sat in the car & almost knew where everything was.
Thanks Admin for moving it in the right "new member forum".

Hope you enjoy the XJ8L, I sure do like mine. I have always had a spot in my heart for a Jaguar and as the economy was in a shambles, that was the time for me to purchase a new one at a very good price. As for the "Leaper" on the bonnet, I too was thinking about it, but as time goes by I am getting used to the new look. My local dealer also quoted me around $500 to install the ACM. Can't believe in this day and age a motorcar without being able to connect an I-pod.

I ordered it and am waiting to see how it looks. Can't be good for $40, right?

sanand911, I'm gettin' used to the look of the "Polaris", so for the time being I holding on. And I to have to keep the wife at bay. First thing I've done on all my overland trucks was upgrade the tires from the OEM's. The wife wasn't receptive to wheel change-out on a brand new Jag. (Guess it's a guy thing)
