TO THE POINT What’s New: The 2005 Jaguar Super V8 is the first XJ model with a long wheelbase and a supercharged V8 in the same package
Selling Points: Super-
charged power, timeless Jaguar styling, rear seat accommodations
Deal Breakers: Well, that $90,000+ price tag puts a damper on things, and that spacious rear seat could be more comfortable
Our Advice: If you’re buying to be driven, drop the added ponies and save some coin with an optioned XJ8
