Jaguar introduced the 2012 model of its muscle car XKR-S in March, 2012. The technologically advanced and theoretically equivalent to Ford’s Mustang 2011/12 model, the vehicle has received a makeover on the outside and in the inside. Under the hood lies a powerful engine that fires the power equally to all wheels. But more on […]
Bench racers keeping score are no doubt beginning to question spending $83,000 more on an XKR-S; where does the extra money go? We’ll get around to discussing the cabin in a moment, but it should be no surprise that a large chunk of that price difference goes to making the Jaguar more comfortable than most […]
The truth is that while you technically can compare the 2012 Jaguar XKR-S with a 2012 Ford Shelby GT500 by the numbers, doing so is sort of missing the point. Sure, both cars will hustle away from a stoplight with similar zeal, but if you’re drag racing kids in Mustangs and 370Zs with your XKR-S, […]

From the driver’s seat of the XKR-S, I followed Senior Editor Wayne Cunningham in the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S — not exactly a competitor for the Jaguar, but an interesting benchmark.

When the turns got twisty and the speedo began to climb, I found the 911’s steering to be much more direct, the suspension much more communicative, and the throttle and […]
The lack of physical shortcuts to each menus area is just part of the problem. Jaguar seems to place other odd functions within the touch-screen interface where honest-to-goodness physical buttons would be better. For example, the seat and steering-wheel heater controls are located on the home screen; a pair of knobs on the center console […]
In the 2004 film “Anchorman,” Brian Fantana presents to Ron Burgundy a particularly pungent cologne called Sex Panther by Odion, making the preposterous claim that “60 percent of the time, it works every time” when it comes to wooing women. That bizarre claim is what kept popping into my head as my week with the […]
