Selling my X would give me a chance to get another Jag, so that XJ I saw fit the bill. And anyway I still have my Mustang vert thats manual trans so I would be totally deprived.. PLUS I think the XJ is a nice large comfy car..

Perhaps showing your ignorance isn't so smart after all. Luckily these forums are annonymous and hence one can be ignorant and smug at the same time

Perhaps a "Bosch X type" would be more fitting than Ford.
Newer Ferrari's have radio controls and some switchgear from the Fiat parts bin. I don't think anyone will accuse the 458 Italia of being a Fiat 500 knock off.
Global economy. Global parts sourcing. Heck even global assembly.

Thats my "CRITICAL" Point !!! so why is the older jaguars are made/parts are all/mostly jaguar? Because its a freken real made jaguar! the X & S are rubbish knock offs of Fords way of a Jaguar , Ive seen a trend online stating that the Jaguars X rear suspension fits under a contour and they have pictures of there swap, Hmmm Why?? because its a FORD car based of a contour with some tweeks here and there. The next time your at a mall with your X try and park next to a Ford contour and you will see a "little"similar action going on.I have a Xtype and i know this by asking a FORD Dealer Mechanic as my car does see them alot. yes its sad to say the truth isnt it!
sorry for the

In the same way ALL Acuras say Honda Motor Company, ALL Lexus say Toyota Motor Company on the engines? Maybe you're not aware that the around 18% common components the x type shares with the 2nd gen Mondeo ( another misconception is that it's based off of the Contuor sold in the US - this version never made it to the US) makes it more unique than many Audis, lexuses, acuras, infinities and cadillacs which are often straightforward rebadges....

Lexus and acura are high end toyotas and hondas, do you really think a Jaguar Xtype is a high end Ford, LOL!

Also, you're making the common mistake that the Ford Contour sold in the US is what the x type is based on. It is not. Ford did a complete redo of the Mondeo, which never made it to the US as a Contour that the x type shares components with. The total shared component is around 18%.
One mistake Jag made with the x type us that they didn't release a V8 4.2 L super charged version. They should have had more variants in the US like the A4 and 3 series and C class.

Who cares? I got a 5 year old car with 60k miles, AWD, full leather, dual power heated seats, auto wipers, cruise control, 3 liter v6, wood grain, nice alloy wheels, (others have bluetooth, nav), sunroof, CDC, sweet style, suspension, and performance, and the list of niceties goes on...for under $10k.
Put a Studebaker badge on it for all I care...I like it, and it does a good job at doing what it's supposed to do. Search Craigslist for similar options / mileage / condition and see what happens. I'm well pleased with price / performance.

and you see a moped pass you on a fly! these cars has no power what are you talking about? my wifes impreza has more power then my X and its stock. I have a mina exhaust, K&N filter up graded to E plugs still slow.

At this point you've pretty much proved yourself as an ignorant fool and I'll stop responding to your posts.
An impreza is an anti x type. Ugly as he'll, cheap metal, cheap interior and bone jarring unrefined ride. The WRX and STi added raw turbo power and even more bizarre styling... it's target demographic is 18 year old Asian men. Nothing wrong with that. But the x type doesn't play in that market.

google search is not equal to fact. Did you not know that? Google just returns results. Some are true some are false. The belief that the x type is common to the US Contour is false. The mk1 mondeo and contour are the sane. The x type started with the mk2 mondeo. That version had no contour counterpart in the US.

ok go ask a Jaguar Mechanic if you want a true story. also there's Google/Yahoo/aol/bing and tons more, are they all false? oh wait there's the men&women that works on the darn things , ask them!
what is a ford mondeo?? really what is it?? UK contour or US contour take your pick.
"" The Ford Mondeo is a large family car sold by the Ford Motor Company in various markets throughout the world. The name "Mondeo" derives from the Latin word mundus, meaning "world". The initial generation of the Mondeo was developed as a "world car", along with North American models marketed as the Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique.
Jaguar X type is based from a Ford Contour ( mondeo ) ""
oh is from google, hehehehehhehheheeeee! truth be told !!!

What's up jonre? Why are you so down on the car now? You seemed interested in the car when you first showed up on the board but now you just trash it. Is this just for you entertainment value - starting arguements and such? You've made your point, can I respectfully request you move on?
