A quote from the conclusion:

"[The Jaguar] can do everything the German sedans do, without being so serious."

WTF does that even mean? Makes no sense.

What also doesn't make sense is 4.2L on the 550i...It has a 4.8L.

As a Brit it pains me to say this but this is not a Brit vs German shootout.

Jaguar is owned by Tata Motors. They are an Indian conglomerate.

Autopro, have you even test driven the car. You shouldn't be so closed minded.

The Jag is way better than the rest, awesome machine.

As for those Audi lights, they make you look like you have forgotten to switch them off(Saab/Volvo style)! Aston Martin Vantage has superior side light design...
