I hate to say it, but I told you so.
I've been a pretty big advocate for Jaguar Land Rover in recent months and the latest lineup of vehicles it has delivered it's pretty clear to me that they're the most exciting brand to watch now. And it all started with the new XJ.

This isn't mind blowing since the vehicle will be produced in low volumes; however, you do have to keep in mind that there aren't too many buyers in this category AND the F-Type starts at nearly $70,000.
