I emailed JagUSA a few days a go asking when the Wagon was going to be available. No response. Not even an 'I don't know." What a strange marketing program. Rock hard announcement, then nothing, big thing at Wimbledon, then nothing. I don't understand what is going on, but I have never been a student of Jag marketing.

If the Jaguar dealer service were anything like Mercedes dealer service, I'd actually consider buying another Jaguar. We've had an E350 wagon for 9 years now, and the service is one of the best things about the car. With Jaguar, dealer service as well as JLR support is the worst aspect of owning a Jaguar.

V6 is powerful, not as smooth as my inline 6 previously but has lots of torque and delivers the power NOW with the sophisticated Supercharger.

A stunner. Wisely will come to the USA as AWD, 380HP motor only- good call. Too bad the interior still low grade, plastic-intensive compared to others like the new Volvo v90 ( which is over $10K less)......., but maybe worth it, if she drives like a true 'sportbrake'.

Yes. Great choice and of course it would be AWD which works great, trust me after last winter in the hills here. The Volve V90 has lovely interior but that anaemic 4 cylinder can hardly move the car. I compromised by living with the ho hum interior but loving the wonderful engine/txn drivetrain and well designed body/structure, roomy back seat and big 19 cu ft trunk.

Did you feel the same when Jaguar downsized from V8s to V6s back in 2013.........I sure loved my V8s....., but the 6 is........ OK also.
Comparing them fully loaded, sportbrake MSRP is $14k USD more.
