Yuppie for a Day – 2008 Jaguar XJ Super V8

Pulled into the parking lot and was disappointed to see that there was an EMERALD GREEN Jag waiting for me. Don’t get me wrong, green is a great color. I’m just not a fan of it on most cars. I don’t want to feel like I’m driving a tree. I was a bit let down with the same boring style of the Jag too. At least the front of it improved and seemed to have incorporated some aggressive design elements. The other thing that seemed off was the chrome details on the car mixed with polished rims. Do one or the other, not both. It looks weird. Also disappointed to discover the shiny front grille is made of plastic. Yep, plas-tic-o.

First time I saw it parked, it looked like a blinged out Nissan Xterra on steroids. The front exterior styling is the hotness but the side and rear profile leaves me with more to desire. The tailgate definitely accommodates easier loading, but the general style of the rear – I just can’t jive with it. It would probably grow on me if I had it long enough.
