She drove the Quattroporte and liked it. The negative for her was the interior finishes. Too much Chrysler influence on the "touch/feel/look" of switches, finishes etc. The wood grain (if real) looked fake. Otherwise, it would be parked in our driveway now. The Jag is leap (play on the word...haha) years ahead in interior finishes, has a better warranty (5/60).
The downside, the Jag 2 box body design has been out for almost 10 years and will be due for a styling change any year now, so this new car could get prematurely old in a year or two. But knowing the fetching Mrs. in two years, boredom will begin to set in....."As the World Turns"........

Ok I wasn't aware of the finish was so poor, when I had the car it was top notch again it was the Wife who drove the car she loved it but its going back a few years, designs change all the time if one changed the car every time a design come about one would even break in the engine ... Lol ...

Yes, you were probably pre-Chrysler. Unfortunately, it is becoming a way forward that all of the old world class Marques and exotics are being sold to the mainstream monster car manufacturers.
Lamborghini, Bugatti and Bentley are becoming full of Volkswagen parts
RR is becoming a 7 series BMW
Jag/Lrover became Fords in the nineties; now becoming tractors from TaTa Motors of India...LOL
Maserati is becoming a Jeep Chrysler
Any I am forgetting??

Your Knowleage on these marques is 100% the badges on these cars are just that a badge, as you say what's under that skin is
something else ...
Have you seen the last picture I posted on the Official Photo Thread, the GT rapped with the red trim at the bottom & the air duct on the roof ... different ...
Yes, beautiful wrap. Matte black or gray is my preference. Friend of mine custom ordered a GT Speed in 2010 (If I remember correctly) with a custom matte black paint from the factory $30,000 extra. I'll look for a pic of it.
This is one of my favorites and if I stay here, I'll probably succumb to this wrap:
