Does anyone know what year Ford engineers took over designing the jags? Cause one day I want a XJ8 but I wont buy anything designed by ford engineers.

ROFL!

You do know that Jags have actually become reliable since Ford took over, right?

BTW: Ford bought Aston Martin and Jaguar during 1988 and 1989.

bah ok so I'm defeated. I still dont like ford though, so screw that idea, I'll stick with dodge/chrysler

1995 X300 XJ sedans are good, and 97+ XK coupes/verts. Those are the first products of Ford money.

The 90's XJS's are great once you swap in a new 5.0 H.O. drivetrain and electronics... :biggrin:

I've driven a few XJ8's at work, I'm pretty sure they were 2000ish, they were sweet, but I thought the whole ford thing was something recent. Huh I guess they actually did do something right

im a fan of the current s type r and the xk type r of course
still though if i had that kind of money i would be shopping elseware
the jaguar image just isnt enough of an allure for me.

They are actually very classy cars and drive amazingly.

Before Ford took over Jags were a headache to own, electrical problems and whatnot.....

European Fords are actually quite good products. It's the North American ones that are junk.
