I received an email from a Jaguar fan today.  Normally I wouldn't respond to emails of this nature, but today I'm a little bored.  To summarize his email, he basically stated the new Jaguar offering is better than anything Mercedes has to offer, blah blah blah.  Then I deleted his email.

The car he's referring to is Jaguar's new XJ Super V8 Portfolio.  Yeah, you heard me right.  The Portfolio.  If anyone has heard of a worse name for a car, I'm dying to hear it.  Maybe they'll follow it up with the Jaguar XJ Super-Duper V8 Suitcase, or maybe the new Jaguar XJ  Fantastically-Awesome V8 Resumé.

As for the car itself, it's equally as ridiculous. Jaguar once again pushes the envelope of design.  They took a car that's remained virtually unchanged for almost ten years, added side vents, and decided to charge $115K.  That's true innovation.  Maybe next year they'll add new windshield wipers and charge $150,000.  One can only dream.

If your thinking about buying the new Jaguar XJ Super V8 Portfolio, do yourself a favor.  Take your $115,995, flush it down the toilet, and save yourself the embarrassment of driving the car with the worst name in the history of cars. 

[Thanks for the email James.]
