Own an XK/XKR? Considering buying one?
I am quite sure that many here on the Jaguar Forum have not seen or understand how the XK/XKR automobiles are built. At Jaguar the XK/XKR is built over a 2 week period. Robotic constuction is 60% of the build, while the remaining 40% is hand built.
So, if you have some time on your hands and own an XK/XKR or are even considering buying one of these beautiful automobiles, do yourself a favor, and spend some time viewing the following links provided. I honestly believe after seeing these videos you will have a different opinion on how our cars are built. Jaguar is not a GM, Chrysler or Ford. When I owned my 2012 Camaro RS, it was built in Ontario, Canada and it took only 1 day to put it all together vs Jaguar's 2 weeks.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we own an automobile that is truly something special.
Check these out. Be sure to watch in the sequence I have provided......if you decide to watch, come back and provide your thoughts to us forum members.
Enjoy, you will be glad you spent some time watching.

This is available as single link video too. Have watched it a few times. Jaguar does not do enough justice on how this car is built and why it is different than GM and like.
The whole process goes barely stated to the consumer and it's a shame. The construction can be used as a sales technique to refute other brands prowess to a point.

Jaguar does not do a lot of manufacturing like Porsche or BMW does. Jaguar is not trimming seats in house, etc... Then again they are not the same level of manufacturer; Jaguar is small time in sales numbers compared to those two.
Since you watched the XK video, you'll have even more appreciation for the marque if you watch the Aston equivalent video. They do much of the similar technique, but not on a large automated scale (for better or worse). Like a back yard garage style of what Jaguar does. Or did Jaguar take what Aston is doing figure out how make a "Model T" out of it?

Great video isn't it.
It might be worth putting links for things like that in the 'XK Press pack / equipment spec / tech spec & pics FAQ' sticky. The video was discussed 6 months ago but judging by the comments a lot of people haven't seen it before so this thread will disappear quickly as well. Perhaps most people only look back through the history when they are searching for something in particular?
