> [@boardjnky4](#): > > if it was an s type then i would say its definitely just a luxury ford but its an x type so i cant hate too much Um the X-Type is just a ford mondeo. How can you hate on the more expensive S-Type and not on the less expensive ford based X-Type. My dad has an S-Type by the way and its a huge peice of shit. He can’t wait to get rid of it. He has had X-Type loaners before and they suck almost as bad, but i guess its a little more tossable, but they still both suck. Just my opinion 🙂 No more Jags in this family. ---

Ie. Lexus, Infiniti, Audi ---

Um the Ford Mondeo is a fine car to base 3 other cars on. We aren’t talking about an ES250 or a Cadillac Cimarron. If Ford hadn’t purchased Jaguar, there would be no Jaguar today. And forget all the other crap they have done (introduced a V6 to replace the I6, for example), the XJ simply a work of art. In a class where BMW has to use electronic gizmos to get a car to move the way they want it to, Ford/Jaguar have made a car that is pretty pure. It’s enough for me to forgive them for giving us the rebadged stuff. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/remember-always-sett-e-brake-and-put-car-in-gear/4507.md?page=2)
