Jaguar XJ8
With its roomy interior, the XJ8 continues to be the look of luxury. For 2004 the entire car has been reworked and the interior received a lot of attention. Some hate the gated shifter but, really, it's the way it should be. And the leather... oh! the leather. Standard safety equipment: anti-lock brakes, airbags (front, side and head) along with traction and stability control. Lightweight aluminum body yields nimble handling and quick acceleration, above-average fuel economy, plenty of rear-seat legroom, wood trim galore.
