I realize that everyone's tastes in cars are different but I like the smaller, sportier, and more nimble varieties (BMW 3 or 5-series, Audi A4). Admittedly I've never been much for the Brit cars. The newer Jags have taken on more of a Ford persona, IMHO. Do they still make the BMW 8-series? I am a BMW Car Club of America member and have heard / read numerous complaints how the 8-series has had its share of problems (electrical, fir & finish, etc.) Besides, it's too heavy to be nearly as fun as its lesser brethren.

The new Jag XK8 w/ a supercharger is, unfortunately as an Aston owner and fan, a much better deal for the money. Now if Aston ever got the go ahead for the Project car w/ the Ford modular V12, that would be car to buy over all else. The existing Vantage Virage at 550 horse is too big and getting to be an old configuration anyway (not available in US, but then again neither was the Vantage Volante X pac I own). A used 840 w/ a six speed is probably a great deal, but no converts. Anybody on this thread listen to Car Talk on PBS?
