I believe he is referring to an XJS. While not a bad looking car I don’t think they are built all that great.
Now an XKE I would be willing to get involved with as these vehicles exhibited true genius before there day. Such things as
Electronic Fuel Pump
Dual overhead camshafts
Hemispherical heads
Independent Rear limited slip differentials
Wishbone racing style suspension w/coil overs
And a look that demands attention I think the best of Jaguar ended with the XKE. Although I do believe that Fords has refined these vehicles I don’t believe they will gain much respect until the Britt’s buy them back and come up with another marvel that is way before its time. Ford is capable of the task however I don’t think they have the deep burning desire to go out on a limb for Jaguar.

I like Jag but IMO that XJS particulary the one from the 1980's was disgusting. I do however like the XJ type body from 1994-2000. That is a nice car.
Yep im really thinking hard about buying another jaguar, i just cant find the one . An old s type convertable that needs a little tlc to get her purring again. keep an eye out
