Just got back from the dealer, Jaguar that is
Dad bought an 02 X type 3 liter 5 speed automatic premium package at dealer invoice which is approx $ 36.5K; titanium exterior, charcoal interior. For those that don't know this is a new model Jag featuring AWD; the 3 liter puts out 233 HP; they have a sport package and offer a 5 speed manual. It's a sweet ride but not exactly what I woulda spent that amount of money on.

I really wish someone could build something fun to drive like a BMW, because BMW prices are just robbery, and very little discount.

It's a Ford alright. It's the same platform as the Contour/Mystique/Cougar/Mondeo. It's the same Duratec engine as used in those (just a larger bore for the 3l vs 2.5l) and the same as the Taurus/Sable. The only real difference in the engine are the heads. Jag supplies the heads which have direct bucket followers, rather than pivoted ones that have hydraulic lash adjusters. The engine can rev higher, but will need its valves adjusted.
Tell you dad he should join the contour.org forum.

But, the chassis of the Jag is NOT the same as the old Contour/Mondeo. It is the same as the new Mondeo, which is larger than the old Contour and not even imported here as a car. It is also used in the Lincoln LS cars, which handle fairly well for their size. This chassis has won many awards in Europe, and they know how to drive.
But, yes, I am afraid that Jag(Ford) really messed up using such a cramped interior.

I hope your dad has good luck with the X-Type. I think it was Edmunds.com that did a test of it and said they weren't too happy with it. They said that the whole exhaust system fell out of the car while they were testing it!!

Just for reference, on a 48 month lease (15K miles per year) on a 2K2 Maxima SE loaded up (sold for 800 over invoice - $28,039/
$30332 MSRP)without Nav, and with $3500 down, payments were 405.63. That's with a 47% residual after 4 years.
Sux.
And the Jaguar lease is: $1999 due at signing, $349 for 39 months - 10K miles per year - not including taxes, license, fees.
