After noticing the latest changes to the Jag I have to admit they came out
with a beautiful looking design. I am even tempted to sell my GT, my
Durango, my 311, my 212, my motorcycle, my cats and my dog to put a down
payment on one. :-)
Seriously though, I like the sleek new look. It just looks so cool.
