Have you noticed how much some of the new Jags look like Ford Tauruses wearing cheap Halloween XJ6 costumes?

Not Tauruses, Contours. Both the Contour and the Jaguar X-types (And the Mercury Mistake, er, Mystique) are designed around the Ford Mondeo platform.

Yes. Have you been inside one since Ford bought them? Same cheesy plastic everywhere interior, too. Att the same price I'd almost rather have the Contour, at least everyone that looked at me wouldn't immediately write me off as being a bit slow. Damn shame too, they used to be really nice cars to look at, sit in and drive (though they were always a bit of a PITA ownership wise).

I used to crew for an SCCA Super Seven long ago whose pre-race tuning sometimes included rewelding broken bits, for example the master cylinder mounts. 'Exciting' has many variants as does the threshold for 'PITA'. Fun, fast car IMHO! -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org Open every day since 1 April, 1971

Interesting, which region?
SCCA finals at Road Atlanta (Braselton) late '70s, early '80s (bicycle mechanics are not available in-season, but spare welders are a handy thing to bring along with a Lotus) -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org Open every day since 1 April, 1971

Just like the contour/mondeo/mystique. Beautiful to drive, particularly the loaed V6 - but a pain to service. Kinda like a '90's version of a Rover TC.

I remember the Lotus Super 7, my favorite cars to watch on the track. San Francisco region in the early 80's with my 65 Shelby Cobra. -tom
