They're all good cars. Buy one. They are British.
They will keep UK folks in jobs ...

On the other hand, I'm no style expert, but on
the basis of a whole day with an X-type and another
day with a S-type, I'd say both of them had interiors
which seem to have been designed by Mr S. Wonder
of 1960s music fame. In my opinion.

Engines good, suspensions very good, boot space
a bit limited (why no hatchback for more space?),
gearbox good, road holding good but oh dear
those interiors. Exterior styling I can just
about live with.

At least both the X-type and the S-type have
better fuel consumption than the XJ8, possibly due to
a smaller number of cylinders.

Has anyone found the X-type or S-type to their taste ?
