No April Fools - from a Camaro SS to a 2012 Jaguar XJ

Just wanted to share that we traded in our 2010 Camaro SS for an UNBELIEVABLE Partners Plus lease on a 2012 Jaguar XJ. We were actually thinking of getting a 2012 SS Convertible this year but this lease deal dropped in our lap from a good friend and I couldn't pass it up. I do miss the looks and the "wow" factor of the Camaro but the ride (and power) of the XJ makes me soon forget. And I have to say the looks of the Jaguar are not bad either, just a different kind of cool. We hope to be back in 3 years with a convertible but time will tell. I wanted to thank all of the members for the tips and reading material you have provided since I joined. I especially enjoyed the detailing area and all I have learned about making a vehicle look awesome. I will begin the XJ detailing process with my Adam's products this weekend. Thank you again!

Pretty sharp. Not my cup of tea, but nice nonetheless.

Nice.

I used to be really into Jaguars, until Ford stepped in.

Now that Ford has sold Jaguar and Land Rover, I'm more inclined to like them again.

It's the base model. My buddy has the supercharged model and I was blown away with the power but even the base isn't too shabby with 385hp.

I'd kill for an XJ; the things have an absolutely gorgeous interior. Congrats!
