Add one more member to this elite class, with the roll-out of the new, 2005 Jaguar XJ lwb.
The short list of long luxury cars is short indeed. The ranks are populated by such notables as Audi's A8L, BMW's 745Li and the Mercedes-Benz S500. Add one more member to this elite class, with the roll-out of the new, 2005 Jaguar XJ lwb. Stretched luxury sedans account for about 85,000 sales per year in the U.S. - low in number, high in profile - and the new Jaguar should take its share of this market. In a segment with no bad choices, the Jaguar makes a compelling case for itself. Along with the expected level of luxury you get a strong shot of "Jaguarness". The XJ's ride and handling are such that the buyer faces another tough decision. Drive, or be driven?
