the only criticism i hear about the 3-series is that its TOO good. im serious, a group of testers said it was so frustratingly good they had to nit-pick to find a fault. the only criticism is that its not as sporty as the E36 (too smooth for its own good). undoubtedly the best "real" car in the world.

I cannot stand to look at Jaguars in america with hood ornaments... It makes me want to break the law and stick one on mine.

i see..

Have you noticed how many "pimped up" X-types there are around? black, with black tinted windows, black leather, and fat alloys.... Theyre really minging, it doesnt give off the right attitude for a Jag

It's up to peoples personal opinion, isn't it. Lots of people modify BMW's like that, and nobody says anything!
That's not true at all! There are lots of pimped up beemers and the very high majority looks terrible! But it just isnt something you associate with Jag, seeing as these cars have been aimed at older drivers than BMW.

For instance, when i saw the Jag pic you posted my reaction was "yuk!", that kind of picture isnt what i associate Jaguar with. Im not a big fan of the X-Type, i think the true jags are the XJ's and XK's. Anything else is just rubbish

probably because it looks as though you have strapped bags of rice on it? or maybe because you could buy rice for poor starving people and it owuld be more useful? I do not know.
