- Comments Off on 2009 Jaguar XF – I Want One
We've been seeing the Jaguar C-XF in concept form at auto shows for a couple of years now. The concept car is a show-stopper. It is gorgeous from any angle and so sporty that it makes the Mercedes CLS 4-door coupe look like a taxi. And that was my initial problem with the XF concept. Looked like it was a car you couldn't live with for long. All the disadvantages of a coupe without the advantages of carrying around a couple of more doors.

The 4-cylinder-only Rogue begs the question, "Why?" Did Nissan feel they HAD TO add a small Crossover SUV to their lineup to compete with the Honda CR-V? Yes. Is there anything particularly intriguing about Rogue? No. It is another is a plethora of conveniently sized, pleasant to drive, reasonably priced small wagons available with all wheel drive. So, I guess it is OK to call it a "Crossover SUV" because definitions in the segment are very broad.
