The interior in the Jaguar XK pwn3d the Lexus SC430 interior.

And I like the Jag badge better.

The SC430 is the most useless car, the v8's not that fast, it looks like a little droid and it should be only driven by girls. Jag's are for G's Lexus's are for people who can't eat solid food anymore.

I am a big Lexus fan but honestly in my opinion Jaguar XK > Lexus SC430 . Looks better, faster, handling only not as reliable i am sure.

In a road test,Car and Driver Magazine had the 2007 Jaguar XK ahead of the BMW 650i and the Cadillac XLR. The editors also said that the XK has amazing handling. The Lexus SC430 was not one of the vehicles in the comparison test.

The XK is made of aluminum, which help to contribute to its great handling capabilities. The XK is a Grand touring + sports car.
