Northstar replacment canceled

I think you may be wrong, actually.

In my latest Autocar (british weekly) they came to Phoenix and compared the "Premium" 4.2/300hp car to a 550i Sport 6-speed manual. Although they gave the prices in pounds, they stated in the article that the Jag and the 550 were within something like $275 of each other. (Of course add for the auto in the 550i.) So with the auto, the 550i is about $1500 more than the Jag....which is not a huge amount.

They supposedly drove US-spec cars there.....the BMW given to them by BMW USA as a press car....and the Jag by Jaguar USA.....

That would put the SC Jag somewhere NORTH of the 550i.....?? And that would make the (similarly-powerful) 535i less expensive than the 300hp Jag...?

In the US...

XF - $49,975

XF Supercharged - $ 62,975

535i - $50,175

550i Sport - $63,875

The XF also has more standard equipment - leather, CD changer, rear parking sensors, folding rear seats, autodimming mirrors, Homelink, Bluetooth, and keyless ignition.
