Give me the SL by many many miles without question.


The interior of the Jag is much more suited for a sports sedan than a sexy drop-top. The design is way too formal with the square shapes..

Well they were a bit too harsh on the SL but because they're Brits I wouldn't expect them to choose the SL over the XK anyway.

Anyone who has watched Jeremy Clarkson's review of the XK knows it's really not a technological tour de force and really pales in comparison to the mighty SL!!!! mwhahah

Nevertheless, I would choose the Jag here!! I know, I'm crazy. But I love the Jags.

It's not long ago, when I also thought, that I'm an absolut Mercedes fan. Well, now I can say, I'm not. I'm more the one, who loves the manufactures, that are not so recommended: Jaguar, Saab etc. Nevertheless I'm still in love with Mercedes and BMW.

I'm a secret fan of Saab as well even though they are very unpopular here in the US. I'm also a big fan of Mazda and even Honda. But don't tell anyone!

Give me the Jaguar over the MB anyday! That car has a soul, and the interior design is to die for..

As for the SL, GOD! Everyone and his mother has one..
