| | How to ruin a Jaguar XF in one easy step | | 2008-08-15 15:07:00 | | Jaguar's "leaper" has its place, and that place is not on the hood of the brand new XF sedan. Jaguar knows this; the hood ornament isn't offered as a factory option. In fact, one of the styling elements that made its debut on the XF is the new trunk-mounted neo-leaper badge, which incorporates the classic jumping cat without resorting to the now woefully out-of-place hood bauble.While Jaguar knew not to eff things up, the same apparently cannot be said of Jaguar dealers, as evidenced by the photo above. TTAC's Justin Berkowitz came across this car on display in his local shopping mall and was understandably horrified to see that the dealer elected to class things up by sticking an old-school leaper right on the hood. It's a disaster, looking like a growth that needs to be removed and biopsied. So, remember kids: what the automakers don't screw up, dealers can... and given the opportunity, will.[Source: The Truth About Cars Tag: Sedans Saloons, Etc., Jaguar] ... | | By: Car News | | |

| Fiat takes over financing for Jaguar/Land Rover in Europe | | 2008-08-01 12:00:00 | | Remember the first time you moved out of your parents' house? Suddenly you were out on your own, without the security of a financial safety net. Same goes for car companies, so after Jaguar and Land Rover moved out of the Ford house and in with its new roomie Tata, suddenly the pair of British auto marques is searching for a new financial arrangement. And it's found one, thanks to the close relationship between Tata and Fiat.Through a joint venture with French bank Credit Agricole, the Italian auto giant will be handling the financing of all new Jaguars and Land Rovers purchased across Europe. Fiat may have opted out of buying the two English automakers themselves, but the collaboration with Tata seems to be bringing them closer to Turin with each passing day.[Source: Automotive News Europe – subs. req'd]Tag: Car Buying, Euro, Jaguar, Land Rover, Earnings Financials, FIAT, Tata... | | By: Car News | | |

Segundo fontes internas, os designers estão a “atacar” as principais críticas feitos ao modelo actual: o estilo desactualizado e pouca escolha a nível de motores.Mantem-se o moderno chassis de alumínio com uma caixa automática de 6 velocidades.

| | Spy Shots: 2009 Jaguar XKR | | 2008-07-05 15:58:00 | | The 2009 Jaguar XK-R has been spotted and shot doing the rounds in Europe. With so many other pots on the boil, like the XF-R and the new XJ, the XK-R is going the subtle route when it comes to changes. Up front, new intakes will be fitted under the headlights, while out back LED tail lights will be fitted in place of the standard units. One change we are most excited to hear about is the swap from a telescoping aerial to a shark fin on the deck lid. On the convertible, the raised aerial caused all kinds of wind noise, which, frankly, was unacceptable on a $100K car. Inside you'll find, ta-da, Jaguar Drive.

| | Jaguar and Land Rover are hiring! | | 2008-06-19 07:43:00 | | If you have a passion for Tata-owned British luxury vehicles and you're willing to move to central England, then Jaguar/Land Rover may have the opportunity of a lifetime for you. The newly Indian-owned British marques are looking to fill 600 positions to beef up their engineering staffs that work on emissions performance. Both experienced engineers and yungins fresh out of college are needed, as well as a few HR schmucks and some purchasing and finance bean counters. The reason for the new hires includes tough new European CO2 emissions targets coupled with the fact that former parent Ford Motor Company had been supplying much of the brain-power to meet those targets. Many earth-saving technologies have already been developed, like an engine stop/start system for Land Rover, but more bodies are needed if game-changing products like the LRX are to see the light of day.

| | 1960 Jaguar E2A prototype expected to fetch $7 million at Bonhams auction | | 2008-06-14 13:34:00 | | A few weeks ago we would have baulked at the thought of someone paying $7 million for a car, except that some crazy Brit paid a record $10.8 million for a California Spyder last month. Still, it seems like a lot of money to pay for a car, even for this one-off racing prototype Jaguar E2A that Bonhams will be auctioning off in Monterey this August. Undoubtedly the car's biggest draw is its link between the legendary D-Type race cars that won Le Mans three times and the E-Type production cars. It was also driven competitively by Dan Gurney, Walt Hansgen, Jack Brabham, and Bruce McLaren. While we don't know if this will be enough to demand $7 million, we will be on hand in Monterey to bring you the results, as well as additional coverage of all the events during the Pebble Beach weekend in mid-August.[Source: Bonhams] ... | | By: Car News | | |

| | Jaguar/Land Rover close to naming new CEO | | 2008-05-28 12:48:00 | | Still mourning the untimely passing of CEO Geoff Polites, Jaguar and Land Rover have been managed in the interim by chief financial officer David Smith. But as the British automakers transition ownership from Ford to Indian automaker Tata, the twin companies are preparing to name a new chief executive.Since initially announcing the deal, Tata has reiterated that it wanted to retain as much of the current management as possible. However, many of the jobs that were once managed by Ford and its Premier Auto Group, under which Jaguar and Land Rover fell, will need to be filled. As a result, the automakers are reportedly recruiting externally for several senior positions. Whether Tata ultimately decides to promote from within or hire a new chief executive from outside the company remains to be seen, but an announcement is expected as early as June 2.[Source: Automotive News Europe – sub. req'd]... | | By: Car News | | |
| | Spy Shots: 2010 Jaguar XJ interior, look familiar? | | 2008-05-28 12:08:00 | | Proving that Jaguar is truly serious about dumping its staid, old man-ish image is a lone spy shot of the upcoming redesigned XJ sedan's new interior. True, Jag's bread-and-butter sedan has not seen much in the way of changes since... well, never, but we weren't sure just how far Jaguar management was willing to go for its interior redesign. As it turns out, they didn't go very far at all, as the new XJ's duds seem to closely mimic those of its little sibling, the new XF sedan. Gone is the sweeping swath of wood. In its place is a large leather-lined panel that also houses a big touchscreen, which has proven to be refreshingly easy to use in past Jaguar models.Also making the jump from XF to XJ is the now familiar rotary gear selector called Jaguar Drive, which rises from its console-mounted position when the vehicle is started. In the XF, this is all part of the so-called "Jaguar handshake," and we'd bet that the starting procedure will stay roughly the same in the new XJ. While some... | | By: Car News | | |
| | Jaguar posts first sales rise in almost 2 years | | 2008-05-19 12:47:00 | | For decades, Ford has carried Jaguar like an 800 lb guerrilla on the company's back. And just as Ford is able to unload the money-burning British marque, the leaping cat responds by posting its first sales increase in two years. Jaguar's April sales were up a ridiculous 69.6% in Europe, and while Automotive News somehow gives credit for this sales success to Tata Motors, it likely has a hell of a lot more to do with the all-new XF sedan. Jaguar has 18,000 customers in line for the new 4-door, which has given sales figures a big lift while helping other Jags leave the dealer lot, too. The slow-selling X-Type and the underrated XJ also got a lift from the extra showroom traffic.At first glance, it appears Ford's luck just can't change, as Jaguar is finally looking interesting just as the Blue Oval sells it off. What's more likely is that Ford wouldn't have gotten as much cash for the leaping cat if it couldn't dangle a hot-looking sedan to potential suitors.[Source: Auto News ]... | | By: Car News | | |

Le Diesel qui fera l'essentiel des ventes est un 2,7 l V6 bi turbo qui développe 207 ch et un couple de 435 Nm avec un poids parmi les plus légers de sa génération. A côté, trois moteurs essence, un 3,0 l V6, un 4,2 l V8 et un 4,2 l V8 suralimenté. Au sommaire de la première finition dite "Luxe", (sur le 2,7 D et le 3,0 V6), déjà beaucoup d'équipements de série. A commencer par la transmission automatique électronique à 6 rapports, le DSC, l'ABS/EBA et EBD… les phares halogène, les jantes en 17'', les régulateur/limiteur, le système audio 140 W ou encore les boiseries en noyer.

Zetsche could envision supplying the two brands with components, the magazine, auto motor und sport, quoted him as saying in comments published on Sunday. Jaguar and Land Rover are owned by India's Tata Motors Ltd , who acquired the two automakers from Ford Motor Co for $2.3 billion in March. Daimler owns around 7 percent in the Indian company. "If (chairman) Ratan Tata would approach us in regard to supplying components, we would be open to talks," Zetsche said, adding Daimler had no plans to increase its stake in Tata.

This time the German tuning house took receipt of the new sedan and worked their magic. Loder1899 started with a body kit consisting of a new front spoiler, boot spoiler and rear diffuser accentuating the sporty character of the Jaguar XF. Loder1899 also lowered the XF by 35 mm giving it both a faster appeal as well as a lower center of gravity. The look is finished with 20 or 21 inch wheels, pictured are 21 inch silver 'Hollow Spoke' wheels. But the tuning does not stop with just aesthetics, Loder1899 also bumps up power output thanks to a new motor management system. The 2.7 liter TDV6 engine now produced 249 hp instead of the factory spec 207 hp, torque is increased to maximum 522 Nm at 3,850 rpm from 435 Nm at 4,000 rpm. The whole kit costs about Euro 8,000 in Germany excluding taxes, assemb... | | By: Car Tuning Styling | | |

Press Conference Notes
Jack Del Rio: On Getting Derrick Harvey with the 8th pick:
“This wasn’t one we envisioned,” Del Rio said of the trade. “We didn’t think we had enough ammo to get into the top 10. We weren’t going to give up our whole draft.
Jack Del Rio: On getting the 8th pick without having the "draft pick points"
“I don’t think the focus should be on that,” Del Rio said. “Their thought process was to slide back and select some picks. We think he’s a great fit for us. It makes sense for us.

| | Jason Taylor might be a Jaguar? Sounds Familar... | | 2008-03-25 22:03:58 | | Huh, look at what Pro Football Talk found. That sounds really, really familiar. Almost like I've read that before. Oh Wait... We did hear about this before. Right here on Big Cat Country, no less. The Miami Herald Blog reports:I have been told by one NFL scout and one NFL assistant coach that Jacksonville coach Jack Del Rio (pictured) likes the idea of trading for Taylor. I am not sure exactly how far Del Rio has gone with this -- be it considering it and discarding the idea or actually pursuing the issue. But I do know the scenario of adding Taylor has been on the coach's mind. I will continue snooping around with some league sources and ask Del Rio about it directly at the NFL's annual meeting in Palm Beach next week. We'll soon find out if there is fire associated with this smoke. So there you go, my informed speculation gets a little more interesting. -Chris... | | By: Big Cat Country - An Unoffical Jacksonville Jaguar | | |

| | Done deal: Ford to announce sale of Jaguar, LR to Tata March 5/6th | | 2008-02-25 19:20:46 | | Done deal: Ford to announce sale of Jaguar, LR to Tata March 5/6th
Word comes from Europe that Tata Motors will officially announce its purchase of Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford on March 5 or 6. We've been following the matter closely, and it appears that the deal is closed as far as the executives at the two automotive companies are concerned. The final step involved Tata accepting Ford UK union Unite's guarantees for its workers. "Everything seems fine as far as we are concerned; it's just the lawyers working on it now," said Roger Maddison, Unite's national officer, in an Automotive News Europe interview. Maddison was part of talks between the union leaders and Ford and Tata to finalize details of the sale and draw up a memorandum of understanding. Earlier on in the negotiation process, unions wanted to ensure Tata would continue to source engines, stampings and other systems from Ford's Bridgend and Dagenham plants in the UK, which supply all... | | By: Auto News: Car Reviews, Car News, Car Shows | | |
| | Spy Shots: Jaguar XF-R | | 2008-02-24 11:55:00 | | The sporty XF-R spotted during testing by the spy photographers. Jaguar's current XF line-up includes 2.7L V6 diesel, 3.0L V6 petrol, 4.2L V8 petrol and a 4.2L supercharged V8 petrol. The majority of these models have received much praise from the motoring press with Jaguar’s XF bettering many of its German rivals in test comparisons. Not bad for a manufacturer on the sale.It's still unknown what will power the premium XF although it can probably be narrowed down to two options. A rework of the current 4.2L supercharged engine is not out of the equation, in its current guise it is good for 416bhp and a prodigious 560Nm of torque. However the Germans are regularly pumping 500+hp now out of the super saloons. It must also be noted that the SV8 XF is equipped with this very engine so customers will be expecting something special for the R model. The basic architecture of the 4.2L V8 is traceable all the way back to the 4.0L unit first introduced in 1997 so it is getting on... | | By: Car Freaks Blog | | |
| | Tata to Spin Off Jaguar, Buy Land Rover | | 2008-02-24 10:51:00 | | While the sale of the Jaguar and Land Rover has not been completed yet, Tata is preparing to make major changes at the companies. According to sources speaking with InsideLine, Tata purchased a 450-acre swath of land in Gurgaon, outside of New Delhi, for the explicit purpose of building Land Rovers. The source said that "... Jaguar will be spun off almost immediately." British labor unions supported Jaguar’s sale to Tata over rival bids from Indian automaker Mahindra & Mahindra and an American private equity firm. Both companies could eventually attempt to buy Jaguar from Tata should these reports become true.Ford announced Tata Motors was the preferred buyer of Jaguar and Land Rover back in January and the sale could be completed in the next few weeks.

| | Tata planning to sell Jaguar soon after acquisition? | | 2008-02-19 16:59:03 | | Tata planning to sell Jaguar soon after acquisition?
India's Tata Motors emerged as the preferred bidder for Ford's Jaguar and Land Rover brands, but it looks as though Tata prefers one luxury marque over the other. A new report finds that Tata will likely sell off the Jaguar brand as soon as it acquires it from Ford. "Jaguar will be spun off almost immediately," a source familiar with the situation told Inside Line. The news will likely catch Britain's labor unions off guard as they supported the sale of the brands to Tata in order to keep jobs in the UK. The Land Rover brand has far more support from Tata, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Land Rover's production will stay entirely — if at all — in the UK. The same source also told Inside Line that company head Ratan Tata has purchased a 450-acre plot of land outside New Delhi where he plans to build a Land Rover production facility. While Tata or Ford has yet to comment on the r... | | By: Auto News: Car Reviews, Car News, Car Shows | | |
| | Tata To Sign Memorandum On Sale Of Jaguar This Month | | 2008-02-15 10:00:26 | | Ford and Tata are expected to sign a Memorandum of Understanding on the sale of Jaguar and Land Rover in late February or early March. Ford has reportedly agreed to continue supplying engines and components, and Tata to accept the pension arrangements. The final issue is Ford's discussions with British auto workers unions. The unions don't have any problems with the deal between Ford and Tata, but they haven't agreed anything to with Ford neither.The sticking point appears to be that Ford has only given verbal guarantees, and the unions want those guarantees locked in for the next few years, presumably in writing. Until then, the unions won't recommend accepting the deal. Aside that Tata has signed off on both Land Rover and Jaguar's business plans through 2012, which means the F-Type could finally go into production.

| | Breaking: Greg Jones re-signed as a Jaguar! | | 2008-02-13 11:29:51 | | Highest Paid Fullback EVER! In what can only be described as fantastic news, Fullback Greg Jones re-signed with the Jaguars today. Jones was set to be an unrestricted free agent in a few weeks and is instead going to remain a Jaguar for the next Five Years! His contract details, per Pro Football Talk are pretty outstanding, it looks like Jones will be the highest paid Fullback in League History. It is a five year, 17.4 million dollar deal with a 2.5 million dollar signing bonus, 1.5 million dollar roster bonus due later this year, and 500,000.00 due as a roster bonus in 2009. As far as salary goes, it's 525k this season, then goes u to 2.4 million in 09, 3 million in 2010, and stays about that high for the next two years. In other words, it's a typical contract as our front office normally does that front loads as much as possible and doesn't have a massive increase into the last few years to create a cap problem.

| | Jaguar management “entirely relaxed” about sale of company | | 2008-01-28 10:24:45 | | Jaguar management "entirely relaxed" about sale of company
Ford might be getting very close to selling Jaguar to India's Tata Group, but top executives at the British automaker remain "entirely relaxed," design director Ian Callum says. Tata, which is already a major supplier to Jaguar, seems to understand the company well, Callum said. "We have shown Tata our new model lines and the planned product cycle," he told the Financial Times. "The two national cultures appear to fit together very well and Tata is being very respectful about what we are doing." "Respectful" might not always be the right word to describe Ford's treatment of Jaguar over the years, however. Callum said the unpopular X-Type, for example, was designed mostly in Detroit and presented to Jaguar's reluctant designers and engineers in Britain. It's worth pointing out the Tata deal has not yet been finalized, and U.S.-based One Equity remains in the bidding. However, if the acquisition by Tata moves ahead, it could be completed by the end of February. ... | | By: Auto News: Car Reviews, Car News, Car Shows | | |

Not just your ticker -- the car's, too.Slide into the cockpit, and immediately your eyes are drawn to the keyless start/stop button on the center console: It's beating a rhythmic red, as if the XF is coming alive. Press it, and the supercharged 4.2-liter V-8 twists into a muted whir, concealed air vents in the dash glide open, an innovative rotary shift knob -- the so-called JaguarDrive Selector -- rises out of the transmission tunnel. You've just witnessed "the Jaguar handshake," the first of several servings of pizzazz that differentiate this striking new four-door from such classmates as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the BMW 5 Series."You may recognize the grille as being inspired by the original 1968 Jag XJ," says Ian Callum, director of Jaguar design.

V6 and V8 models upgrade to standard 18-inch wheels and adapt the front bumper design of the S-Type R. The R, in turn, upgrades to 19-inch wheels.IntroductionThe Jaguar S-Type has a fairly significant place in automotive history, signifying the first real fruit of the Ford-Jaguar partnership and the first step from either brand into the midsize luxury segment. The 2008 Jaguar S-Type represents the ninth and final year of production for this midsize, rear-wheel-drive luxury sedan.Born as the classier-looking sibling of the Lincoln LS, the S-Type also enjoyed a higher-grade interior and more potent versions of both the V6 and V8 engines.Regardless of the prodigious power at the top of the lineup, the S-Type as a whole has become known more for walking the middle ground between performance and comfort.

A black panther belongs to the jaguar (יגאור) family, like in the title of the book which returned me to Torah - The Quark and the Jaguar (by Murray Gell-Mann). A black panther is like a blue rose among spotted jaguars and roses of many other colors.From Answers.com about jaguars:The base coat of the jaguar is generally a tawny yellow, but can range to reddish-brown and black. The cat is covered in rosettes for camouflage in its jungle habitat. The spots vary over individual coats and between individual Jaguars: rosettes may include one or several dots, and the shape of the dots varies. The spots on the head and neck are generally solid, as are those on the tail, where they may merge to form a band. The underbelly, throat and outer surface of the legs and lower flanks are white.A condition known as melanism occurs in the species. The melanistic form is less common than the spotted form — six percent of jaguars in their ... | | By: Walking On Fire | | |
