German Car Zone

hard to tell. In the verdict they just mentioned what I wrote above.

the jag dont even have 300hp so its clearly underpowered.

What else could have they fitted into the XK?

Fitting AM's V12 would be an overkill, and anything less than a V8 would be blasphemy. If they created an all-new engine for this XK I'd have appreciated it, but I don't think Jaguar is in any financial position to do so.

Some thoughts i made after seeing the cars:

1- Porsche has the less apealing interior
2-Jaguar apears to have the best crafted interior
3-Jaguar also has the ugliest exterior , looks like a Ford Taurus
4-That color of the SL is horrible
5-BMW is the most capable sports car of those if we don't count Porsche

Overall i would take the 650i which has the best balance between design/quality and road behaviour.

What happend to the XKR engine? It had like 400 hp, but I don't know about the price of the car.

I'd agree that the BMW is probably the most balanced in terms of capabilities, but the Porsche actually is a comfortable car to drive everyday, the suspension is not that harsh driving around urban areas. Only if u use that active suspension and set it to Sport will it firm up alot.

It would be a toss up between the Porsche and the MB to me.

I would choose the Porsche but it has the worse interior by far IMO. I would hate being inside that car on everyday basis.

I'm quite surprised really - the Porsche's interior draws uncanny parallels to Audi interiors, in the way everything is so dreary, and yet full of quality and functionality. I won't say for sure that Porsche's interiors are just like Audi's, but from the pictures and an aesthetic point of view, I feel they are quite similar.

I completely agree.
I prefer the Porsche interior to all the others, IMO it's nearly perfect.

I cant decide between the 650i vs. the 911. Of course I would have to drive them both....My gut is leaning towards the carrera. Carrera it is. (however the manual transmission is really what swayed my position)

I've driven heavily in urban and country areas in the 911S, and I must say it is quite livable, and the interior is not bad at all. Its not meant to be covered in wood like a jag or a benz, but is more like a functional sports car that has nice appointments.

I had no problems with the interior experience of the car, power everything even with upper and lower lumbar supports. The only real thing that I could complain about was the Navigation took some time to get used to. Otherwise the interior doesn't detract from the experience of driving

Perhaps if it was in a lighter color like this one i would change my mind but the design looks dated to me. The Porsche interior i like most (apart from Carrera GT) is the one in Cayenne!



Cayman is nice also:
