Eddy,

There is a good probability that if parts didn't have "Ford" stamped on them, there wouldn't be any parts to stamp at all. Ford has done a great job in pouring money into Jaguar and improving the quality and dependability of its cars. The money allowed Jaguar to also develop new models, which it desperately needed. So what if the X-Type uses 18% of its components from the Mondeo. Does it matter if the S-Type shares a platform with the Lincoln LS, FORD Thunderbird and the next generation FORD Mustang? Why should it? All of these cars have completely different personalities. Who cares where the parts come from as long as the "package" provides the characteristics of the model as intended.

Hmmmm.... Eddie. It's really weird, but as I'm driving my X-type, it smells like a JAGUAR, feels like a JAGUAR, handles like a JAGUAR, the interior leather is supple like that of a JAGUAR, the build quality is like that of a JAGUAR, and it looks a lot like a JAGUAR in every way. There is a "LEAPER" on my hood that looks like a JAGUAR, on my steering wheel there is the face of a JAGUAR, when I open my doors there is JAGUAR written on my door sills. There is also JAGUAR written on the engine and on the "BOOT". Oh, yeah, what really made me think that it's a JAGUAR is the NAV. system, you wouldn't believe it, but the lady speaks with an English accent, as though the car was built in England like all JAGUARS. Eddie, if you don't have a JAGUAR yet, I recommend you purchase an X-type, it's a real nice JAGUAR!

Dear sir, many thanks on your reply. i like this one. I own around 40 real jaguars since 18 years. You sure own a JAGUAR,but if you take parts of your car you see in every part a stamp "FORD". Anyway the call it progress but i am a truth passionated JAGUAR lover.
You find my hobby at www.mrsleuven.be
Best regards and as i told you i love you responce.
There were many angry answers.
Have a nice live with your JAGUAR. Eddy.
