My problem is making the pictures small enough to add. The original image is 3 mb and this site needs 600 kb.

Advise?

Is the 11 XJR faster than your 05 was? The car has more power, but also more weight.

The 2011 XJ SC is definitely faster than the 2005 XJR that I owned (470HP vs. 400HP). There is also none of the supercharger "whine" that the 05 had. I'm not sure about the weight difference--they're both aluminum bodied cars.

If you have an Office Program then you have an Office Picture Manager . Go and add the pics you wanna upload .Use Edit Pics and see the Resize button right hand side to the monitor . This is what I use

I sat in a 2011 XJL last week. It is by far the nicest car I have ever sat in. I just picked up a 2005 XJR Select Edition with 39k miles. In about 5 years I think I'd like to buy your 2011!!! Congrats, and most importantly, enjoy it.

We (wife and I) went to the dealer Saturday and sat in one. Talked to the salesman for about 15 minutes about the new features, etc. Told him I'd be back in 4 years to catch the ones coming off-lease. He smiled and nodded in an understanding way...

The Jag we checked out had a $92K price tag...

My friend has a Q-porte and it drives more like an Acura RL than Maserati. Awesome looking and nice engine sound, but not as raw as I would have expected.

Well, it certainly looks good in the pics. Unfortunately (or fortunately, perhaps), the car doesn't share ANY resemblance to its predecessor.
