You think there are that many Jag's? I would've though 1:15-20.

So, I decided to lease a new Jaguar XE R-Sport 3.5 AWD. The car has every available option and is the highest spec XE. End of month and all that made for a very attractive proposition. We signed papers on it yesterday and pick it up this afternoon. I am leaving the country on Friday, so I was anxious to get this done by then.

Here's a couple of pictures, some with still the wrapping on it.

Be sure to post some first (and follow-up) impressions about driving dynamics, build quality, features, etc.

It looks pretty nice on the outside, but that interior is killer.

Normally not a fan of Jaguar styling, but this is pretty good looking.
